Seven-bedroom Georgian country house with extensive reception rooms
Edge House is an exceptional Georgian country estate standing in huge, landscaped grounds with far-reaching valley views. The main house offers extensive reception rooms, a grand principal suite with panoramic outlook, and flexible family accommodation across multiple floors — ideal for a large household or for those seeking formal entertaining space. The gardens, designed by a Chelsea Flower Show gold medal winner, include terraces, walled gardens, an ornamental pond, limestone temple and a productive orchard, with a further paddock of about 3.5 acres for smallholding or equestrian use.
The property includes a gated courtyard with a Georgian stable, workshop and additional garage, plus a separate two-bedroom cottage that requires full restoration. Practical details: heating is oil-fired (boiler, underfloor and radiators), walls are likely uninsulated traditional stone, broadband and mobile signals are average, and council tax is very high. The site is approached by a private tree-lined drive and provides generous parking and garaging.
This is a high-quality period house that will reward sensitive renovation and investment. It will suit a family or owner-occupier seeking a substantial historic home with established formal gardens and room for ancillary uses. Buyers should budget for renovation and ongoing running costs associated with a large, stone-built estate with oil heating and older fabric.
