Full Details for 7 Bedroom Detached for sale in Radstock, BA3 :
A stunning Grade II listed Regency vicarage offering flexible accommodation set in beautiful gardens. Comprising the following; five reception rooms, seven bedrooms, three bath/shower rooms, two kitchens, breakfast room, utility room, conservatory, study and coach house/garage. The house was built as a Regency vicarage by John Pinch the younger, the famous Bath architect, and is an attractive example of his work. Further wings were added in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries to make an imposing house of approximately 5300 square feet. The north wing could be either used with the main house, or as a completely self-contained unit.This fine period property has been lovingly restored by its current owners. We could see from the outset that The Old Vicarage would be an amazing place to live, and we also had a good understanding of what would be required to return it to its former glory, comments Warwick. It has been a complete labour of love, and over the past 30 years we have indeed restored the entire house.Set back from the road, and gently screened from view by mature trees, the house sits in about 1 acre of grounds, providing privacy, as well as a tranquil and harmonious, peaceful country environment. The three main reception rooms have delightful views over the gardens. There are many exceptional original features within the house such as the superb cantilevered Georgian curving staircase with mahogany handrail and decorative cast iron newel post, as well as the stunning Georgian marble fireplaces, highly decorative ornate plaster ceiling cornices, architraves, panelled doors, and sash windows with working shutters. This meticulous care in restoration has been continued with the building of the north wing - walls matched the thickness of the Regency part of the house, to enable the window casements and profiles to perfectly echo that of the main house. Historic carved stone work was brought in to set off the open fireplace, everything is as it should be - and it all adds to the quality and enjoyment of living is such a special place.We have enjoyed every moment here, comments Diane. Seeing the house and the grounds emerge once again has been a terrific and fulfilling journey. We have hosted many events here, and with seven bedrooms there is plenty of room for everyone to stay." A unique country house with a fine heritage, set within grounds that are tranquil and truly relaxing.
