Dating back to 1897, Pegasus Court was originally the Coach House for Barkston Towers. This unique period residence offers spacious, highly flexible and beautifully presented accommodation throughout along with many original character features. Occupying an exceptionally private, landscaped setting within this highly popular and semi-rural village, an internal inspection is most strongly recommended to fully appreciate the opportunity on offer.

This simply magnificent country house is approached via a wonderful long and imposing driveway flanked by tall mature trees leading to a secure gated driveway. Upon entry into the property, you are greeted by an imposing reception hall via solid wood doors leading to a cloakroom with guest W.C, a formal study which is ideal for those who work from home and a highly flexible room that could be used as a gym or a fifth bedroom.

The elegant and generous sized living room has a fabulous central feature fireplace incorporating a multifuel stove burner with recessed shelving units either side, one being a secret, hidden ‘Priest hole’. There are two mullion windows to front elevation with ‘French’ patio doors leading out the delightful gardens and a floor to ceiling glazed wall with door giving access to a formal dining area. The formal dining room is ideal for those who like to entertain guests, having two mullion windows to front elevation and stairs case leading to the first-floor accommodation.

The sensational breakfast kitchen is a real selling feature of the property having been recently installed and forms a wonderful, sociable living space. Extensive, bespoke solid wood units are fitted at floor and wall height with granite counter level work surfaces with space for a ‘range cooker’ or Aga and further appliances. In addition, there’s ample space for dining table and chairs, three skylight windows, two windows to front elevation which allows for plenty of natural light to flood the room and attractive tiled flooring. A separate utility room again has bespoke fitted cupboards with a single sink unit having plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer.
Completing the downstairs accommodation is a cosy snug/family room, a perfect space for relaxing in and benefitting from a central feature fireplace housing a wood burning stove, window to front elevation with double doors opening out to the gardens and access into a further guest WC.

To the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms with the master bedroom having a vaulted ceiling with exposed wooden beams and is serviced by its own stunning en-suite bathroom with underflooring heating and a separate walk-in dressing room.

From the landing area access is gained to two further good size double bedrooms, stairs leading down to bedroom four where there is an additional play area/dressing area and a contemporary shower room comprising a two-piece white suite with a walk-in shower cubicle and built-in storage cupboards.

From the aforementioned breakfast kitchen, a first-floor annexe is approached via a secondary staircase creating ideal accommodation for family members or guests with a great size double bedroom having two skylight windows and double doors with a ‘Juliet’ balcony overlooking the gardens and countryside beyond. The bedroom is further complemented by a modern bathroom comprising a three-piece white suite with a separate, double length walk-in shower cubicle and attractive tiled flooring with under floor heating.

Externally, Pegasus Court is approached via secure, wrought iron electric gates leading to an extensive gravelled driveway providing off street parking in front of a double detached garage having power and lighting installed. Adjoining the property are the original stables, a additional double garage and boiler room. This area is ripe for further development and offers potential to create a fully self-contained annexe (subject to necessary consents) or studio and provides a fabulous opportunity for the discerning buyer. Alternatively, this area could be incorporated into the main house creating a substantial dwelling.

The private, landscaped gardens are beautifully maintained and fully enclosed being predominantly laid to lawn with surrounding borders housing a vast variety of plants, shrubs and mature trees. Accessed via the kitchen and living room is a delightful part paved part gravelled patio area ideal for alfresco dining and outdoor entertaining.
