A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home occupying a wonderful semi-rural position to the edge of the highly sought after village of Guilsborough. Believed to date from the 1930s, the property offers spacious and versatile family living accommodation arranged over three floors and has remained in the same family’s ownership for the past 41

four bedrooms which include a main bedroom suite with
dressing room and en suite bathroom. Also to the first floor there are two further bath/shower rooms. On the second floor there are two bedrooms and a bathroom, together with a guest living area complete with kitchenette. The second floor area could provide potential for use as a self-contained flat.
Dripwell House is located at the end of a private drive which in turn affords access to the main house, own drive and an open hard standing area providing off road parking for a number of vehicles. Adjacent to the drive and off road parking area there is a good sized outbuilding incorporating garaging and multiple storage areas.
