An imposing Palladian-style family house set in just over an acre of mature gardens, this spacious period home delivers nearly 6,000 sq ft of adaptable accommodation. High ceilings, oak floors, large fireplaces, shutters and a galleried landing retain handsome period character while generous reception rooms provide true family living and entertaining space.
The property includes an integral west wing, a ground-floor annexe and a potential self-contained apartment on the second floor — useful for extended family, guests or flexible income. Ample off-street parking, garages and a large gravel turning area suit multiple vehicles and visitors, and the south-facing aspect and established lawns create a sheltered private setting.
Buyers should note some material points: the house has an EPC rating of E, the stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated, and parts of the annexe and outbuildings require repair or light refurbishment. Council tax is very expensive. These are typical of substantial pre-1900 homes and present clear opportunities to improve energy performance and value through targeted works.
Well placed on the edge of Street with countryside access and within easy walking distance of Millfield School, the house will suit a large family seeking space, character and scope to modernise. Its size and configuration also appeal to those wanting independent living wings or potential rental income once updated.
