This handsome Victorian house was built at the end of the 19th Century, positioned outside the village of Alderbury. The house is protected by private woodland on one side, with far reaching countryside views from the back.

The internal accommodation of the main house extends to approximately 5,939ft², set over three floors. The impressive double height entrance hall, with stone flagged floor, leads to the snug, study and a corridor connecting the rest of the house. A guest cloakroom is under the staircase, whilst a secondary set of stairs lead down to the wine cellar, with capacity for about 500 bottles.

The snug has wonderful ceiling heights, oak parquet flooring, a fireplace and French doors with side lights which lead to the terrace and garden beyond. A pair of internal doors on parliament hinges connect to the adjoining drawing room, with similar period features and a bay window; further French doors lead out to the terrace.

The well-appointed kitchen has a combination of floor and wall mounted cupboards, with an integrated dishwasher and a gas AGA. The island has an induction hob and granite surface. The large study has built in cabinetry and a delightful box window with a seat. The dining room was extended by the current owners, who added a bay window, which allowed them to entertain on a grander scale. The room further benefits from a fire place and tall ceilings.
The boot room and utility have plenty of storage. The pantry has large built in cupboards, a sink and space for an under counter fridge. To the north end of the house, a former external yard has been enclosed and provides a number of useful storage rooms, the boiler room and a WC. There is ladder access to further storage above.
The landing on the first floor leads to the principal bedroom with lovely views overlooking the garden. There is an adjoining dressing area and an ensuite with an enclosed shower, separate bath, twin sinks and a WC. There are a further four double bedrooms on the first floor. Two share a ‘Jack and Jill' shower room. The large family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms with an enclosed shower, sink, bath, bidet and WC. All the bedrooms have outstanding views.
The second floor is located in the eaves, with two further bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom.
