Property description
THE PROPERTY A unique three-storey Period home with very spacious living accommodation in a quietly situated conversion within the Westonbirt Estate. The property is part of a series of former outbuildings to the Westonbirt House built some 200 years ago by Robert Holford who created the Arboretum which is now one of the countries finest.
The conversion was carried out by local developers Edward Blake Ltd some six years ago to a very high standard and consists of entrance hall at the middle level with cloakroom and a very large lounge with feature fireplace, the flywheel and French doors into a sunny walled courtyard to the rear. Leading down a staircase to the lower ground floor is the spacious and well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room and dining room and again this has French doors opening onto external steps back into the courtyard garden.
At first floor level the master bedroom has a smart en-suite shower room, there are two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The owners agents would certainly recommend an early appointment to view to appreciate all that is offered within this intriguing family home.
