Property Details

Spout House is a truly unique property, nestled next to its own natural woodland and with stunning views across the valley. The sound of birdsong adds to the air of tranquility and calm at this wonderful location.

This gorgeous looking property consists of the original Victorian cottage on the left - with the entrance to the kitchen and utility areas - and the more recent Edwardian extension sitting on the right with the entrance porch.

Walking through into the entrance hall, the original features immediately become apparent. The large feature fireplace provides a warm welcome on cold days, while the large staircase wrapping round the hall guides you to the first floor. Across the hall is the drawing room; a spacious room flooded with light, thanks to the floor to ceiling windows overlooking the garden. With the cast iron radiators around the room and original fireplace and fittings, the character of the whole house is evident in this one room alone.

Down the hallway sits the formal dining room, butler’s pantry and stairway to the cellar. This then leads on into the older section. Here can be found a smaller room - currently used as a snug - where the character continues with a large fireplace containing a log burner. This leads into the kitchen complete with range cooker and appliances. Through the rear doorway, and across a passageway, the store could provide space for a utility room or used for storage. The ground floor is completed by a WC and a separate shower room.

The back staircase is an alternative route to the five bedrooms on the first floor and the three on the second floor. The first floor has two separate WCs, a shower room and a Jack and Jill bathroom from the principle suite. All rooms have views of either the woodland or of down the valley, and are full of original features with the proportions to match. The second floor rooms are nestled in the eaves of the roof and could provide extra accommodation, space for home working or more storage. Back on the first floor, the sweeping staircase leads down past a set of stained glass windows and back into the entrance hall.

Across the private lane is a cottage, currently used as a very successful holiday let. This is an up and running business earning around £14,000 per annum and could be continued as such. It would equally well serve as accommodation for guests or for multi-generational living. With a kitchen-diner, lounge, double bedroom and shower room, it is a lovely property in its own right and is tastefully decorated throughout.

Spout House also comes with four large garages/barns on the land which can be accessed from the lane. Two are currently used as workshops and one to house a motorhome and other vehicles. The workshop/barn has planning permission for conversion into a four bedroom dwelling. (If this should be of interest to you, drawings and details are available on request).

The land around the property is best described as being two distinct areas. Firstly, the formal gardens which sweep down from the house and are laid mainly to lawn with mature shrubs. The second area is predominantly natural woodland bordering the property and going up the hill. The woodland does not need any management and can simply be enjoyed as it is, complete with its regular deer, buzzard, badger and woodpecker visitors - to name but a few!

This is a wonderful and rare opportunity. It is simply not possible, in words and pictures alone, to capture the true essence of Spout House. No words can do it justice nor pictures fully show its character. We, therefore, highly recommend you come and see for yourself what an amazing place this is. Viewing is highly recommended and we would be delighted to show you around so you can fall in love with it as much as we have.
