King and Chasemore are delighted to present to the market this stunning, character property with historic relevance to Turners Hill. Stonecroft Lodge is the wing of an old Country Home with about half an acre of breath taking gardens and elevated views across rural countryside.
The property itself was designed by 'Edward William Mountford' (1855 -1907). An English architect who also designed The Old Bailey and other public buildings. A copy of the original architects drawing for the front elevation of 'Stonecroft',dated 1852 is available in branch (or see online picture).
The Vendor believes Stonecroft was the residence and surgery of Dr Orr-Ewing who served Turners Hill as their general practitioner in the late 19th Century. Years later Stonecroft was divided into two separate residences. The property we're offering has a South aspect to the rear gardens benefiting from sunshine all day long weather permitting of course.
The current owner has lived here very happily for over 20 years. Turners Hill residents and avid gardeners alike have enjoyed the gardens when they've been open to the public during the Turners Hill 'Open Gardens' event.
Internally the property offers versatile and substantial accommodation, it briefly comprises of; Entrance hall, downstairs shower room & WC, bedroom 3/study, formal dining room, sitting room with open fireplace, recently renovated and sympathetically styled modern kitchen/breakfast room with Aga, utility room and luxury conservatory constructed from glass, kiln dried English oak and powder coated aluminium.
Downstairs is a dry cellar/basement with a window, plenty of storage, a boiler room, and the old slate shelved meat room now used as a passive wine store.
On the top floor, the master bedroom is at the opposite end to the staircase, you walk through bedroom 2 to obtain access to bedroom 1. This could be altered by adding a hallway from the landing to the lobby outside the family bathroom which separates both rooms.
Outside, the property has a large driveway with parking for numerous vehicles. There is also a double garage with work shop space and with a studio adjoined. The studio, which was an old stable, has a vaulted ceiling and provides a tranquil space away from the house to work in. Also at the front of the house, a large oak built wood store, and ornamental fruit and flower garden.
To the rear the extensive, mature gardens offer many different varieties of shrubs, flowers and trees as well as a lawns, a greenhouse and a pond.
In April 2012, the current owner looked into an extension that would offer a master suite, with
dressing room, en suite and lounge area on the second floor. Provisional plans were drawn up but planning application was never submitted, see photo; \"Extension Plan (stp)\".
Also available in the photo selection is an aerial photo taken many years ago. It doesn't show off the landscaping that has been acheived since but it does supply a good, all-be-it approximate guide to the boundaries of the property on offer.
Internal viewings are recommended to avoid disappointment.
GUIDE PRICE: £625,000 - £655,000.
