DESCRIPTION
Box Bottom House is a modern detached property in a tranquil position on the edge of the village of Box, backing onto a wooded valley of which it overlooks. In addition is a one bedroom detached former toll house, allowing for an excellent income potential of dual living. The main house is well placed in its grounds, a gated entrance leading onto a large gravel parking area and to the detached double garage. The property is constructed of Bath stone ashlar elevations under a slate tile roof with stone mullions with double glazed leaded inserts. The accommodation is well presented across two floors, the ground floor rooms accessed off a wide and welcoming reception hall. The hall has a slate stone floor that leads through to the kitchen/dining room, with an Aga and a bow window to the side and utility room. The far side of the hall is the substantial sitting room, again with a bow window and a fitted wood burning stove, over looking the gardens. The first floor has the main bedroom with an en suite bathroom, three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom with a separate shower cubicle. A large door from the hall leads out into the garden, which is laid to lawn and faces south to make the most of the sunshine and backing onto woodland, providing lovely rural views.
The Old Toll House sits above the main house, offering privacy between the properties and has spacious accommodation across to floors and presented in good order throughout. A large welcoming reception hall with stone floors and a wood burning stove welcome you, leading through to a large sitting room with a bow window with lovely views. At one side of the house is a large double bedroom and bathroom, whilst the far side has a huge kitchen/dining room with stairs leading down to the boiler room and utility. A door leads directly from here into the garden.
