Property description
Middlemarch forms part of Bordean House and is an elegant and graciously proportioned Grade II listed house, believed to have been built in the early nineteenth century. Bordean House was originally a substantial country house and estate that was divided into six properties just over twenty years ago, the main house itself being divided into three. Retaining many period features including fireplaces, ornate plasterwork, original doors and molded doorframes, the house has high ceilings and deep windows which take advantage of open outlook over rolling downland. The accommodation is arranged on four floors and comprises six bedrooms and four reception rooms with extensive cellars and grounds extending to just over three acres. A further area of land comprising a paddock and woodland may be available by separate negotiation.
