An exciting opportunity to renovate a stunning country seat.

Description

Boyce Court is believed to date back to the early 17th Century and has handsome Georgian architecture sporting dressed Ashlar stone under pitched slate roofs. A more modern and smaller two storey wing has replaced a former substantial 19th century western wing. There is also a further substantial rear wing, Cedarville, of a similar age to the principal house with exposed Flemish Bond brickwork. Worthy of note is that both Boyce Court and Cedarville received a new roof in 2018.

Boyce Court’s principal elevation features a symmetrical main block with a slightly projecting centre bay. This includes a run of tall sash windows with decorative surrounds and centred by an impressive entrance porch with substantial timber front door flanked by Doric pilasters and decorative panelled glazing. The main section of the property has three floors of accommodation.

The more modern two storey section extends westwards and accommodates two ground floor rooms and two bedrooms.
The Cedarville annexe backs directly onto the main section providing two storeys of good further accommodation with a dedicated entrance.
