5 bedroom detached house for sale

Dial House is a delightful, detached period house, believed to date from 1701. It is situated along the much-favoured West Hay Road area of Wrington with its paddock adjoining farmland just under a mile from the centre of Wrington. Slightly elevated, it overlooks its attractive south facing walled garden with mature hedgerows. To the north there is a lovely outlook over the paddock to farmland, and beyond to the wooded Wrington Hill.

The south exterior is most attractive with external shuttered sash windows and a mature Magnolia on either side. The present owners purchased the property in 1978 and have lovingly maintained it. Whilst the house would benefit from some updating it is well-maintained and very comfortable. The interior is charming and has a warm and friendly atmosphere with the accommodation arranged over three floors. On the ground floor the main reception rooms, and entrance hall, have light oak parquet floors. The beamed sitting
room has a Minster fireplace fitted with a Jetmaster fire. The dining room has a brick fireplace with an arched shelved recess on either side. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with wood units and an oil-fired Aga. An archway leads to a separate utility area.

The first floor has a split staircase. The spacious principal bedroom faces south and has an en-suite bath/shower room. There are two further bedrooms (one currently used as a study) and a family bathroom. On the second floor there are two further double bedrooms.
All bedrooms have an attractive outlook and are spacious and light.

Dial House is not listed and there is considerable scope to extend the property, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Outside
Dial House is approached from the east over its drive through double entrance gates which leads to a parking area outside the east elevation. The drive continues behind the house to a stone and tile outbuilding/single garage and workshop, with folding door. This outbuilding is not only very useful, it offers significant potential to any purchaser, subject to any necessary consents.

The gardens are a delight and lie principally in front of the house facing south. There is a large expanse of lawn, ideal for a marquee or a croquet lawn, with inset shaped established beds planted with a variety of flowering plants, and ornamental trees. There are planted borders and climbing shrubs, two Magnolia trees and a fig tree. Behind the stone and tile outbuilding is a kitchen garden with compost area.

The paddock adjoins the drive and is walled along the southern boundary. At the head of the drive double farm gates open to the paddock. There is a pedestrian gate from the rear parking area. The paddock is gently sloping. In all the property amounts to 1.41 acres
