Description
A striking house with beautifully appointed accommodation, set in a picturesque rural position
Menagerie House is a unique Grade II Listed property that dates from the early 19th century. It features rendered elevations and an impressive frontage with iconic columns and large sash windows while inside the property has been beautifully refurbished to create elegant accommodation with modern fixtures and fittings spread across three levels.
The ground floor has a welcoming reception hall with engineered oak flooring and a central oak staircase that leads up to the main reception room on the first floor. This spacious open plan living and entertaining area has a sitting area, a dining area and a well-equipped kitchen with a stainless steel range cooker and a central island with a breakfast bar. The open-plan layout creates social and light-filled accommodation with tall windows at the front and rear welcoming a wealth of natural light.
There are two well-presented double bedrooms on the ground floor, one of which has Jack and Jill access to the family bathroom. Both bedrooms feature original fireplaces and a dual aspect with doors that open onto the outside. Three further double bedrooms are found on the second floor and feature contemporary en suite shower rooms with walk-in showers and rainfall shower heads.
