Description
Dating back to the 17th century, The Old Coach House was formally part of the Compton Castle estate and has been in the same ownership for the last 36 years. Clearly a labour of love, during 2008 to 2011 an architect led team carried out three major projects : house, garaging and garden. The house had a complete restoration and extension with bespoke fixtures and fittings, to give a high class internal modern way of living whilst retaining the character and charm of yesteryear. Works including a complete rewire and re plumb, interior fittings are bespoke featuring stone baths from Bali, CNC crafter stairways, underfloor heating, Italian travertine stone floors, Denizli travertine bathrooms, fully equipped Aritial Italian kitchen, solid oak internal woodwork, all hardwood external doors and windows with Ipe teak deck.
The extensive garaging of 3560 sqft is totally bespoke which was engineered designed comprising of electric and sliding doors, lift to front door of the house, air con, wifi and plenty of storage cupboards. This particular building is split to provide garaging, workshop with toilet facilities, office and simulator room (currently golf). The whole can simply revert to a clear span or any other required configuration.
Inside, the entrance hall sets the tone for things to come and is perfect for welcoming guests. The free flowing and sociable accommodation leads nicely into the impressive kitchen/breakfast room where the modern kitchen benefits from high quality fitted appliances, granite worktops and a pretty outlook over the charming courtyard via a wonderful window seat. There is ample space for a kitchen table with a back door which opens onto the private courtyard. Rooms of particular interest is the incredibly spacious drawing room which is full of natural light alongside the wonderful dining room that has two sets of doors opening up onto the terrace - perfect for inside/outside living and entertaining. Further accommodation on the ground floor includes a useful utility room and two cloakrooms.
The flexible accommodation continues on the first floor where there are five double bedrooms (three en suite) and a family bathroom in total. The most noteworthy of bedrooms is the principal room with its vaulted ceilings, floor to ceiling windows and balcony and a beautifully appointed and modern en suite bathroom.
Gardens and Grounds
The architect designed landscaped gardens cleverly incorporate aesthetic charm with practical maintenance, timed with a pop up irrigation system and docking station for a robotic lawnmower.
The approach to The Old Coach House is simply outstanding, the electric gates with intercom offers a high degree of privacy with the drive running through the beautifully tended grounds to the extensive garaging. The lawns are immaculate and enjoy far distant rural views, numerous established shrubs and trees and a useful second access with hard standing parking for boats or caravans alike. Numerous terrace areas make the most of the area and are perfectly positioned for the sunshine. To the rear of the house is the pretty courtyard and kitchen garden with separate electric pedestrian access and a mature vegetable garden including raised beds.
The purpose built, extensive and cleverly designed garaging is a fine addition to the property. It can be accessed via a lift that brings you up onto the terrace outside the front door.
Overall the outside space alongside with the quality of the house inside is incredibly special and a viewing is highly recommended.
