Expertly restored and perfectly presented, rarely does such a superb condition period property come to the market.
"Glebelands" (as it was then known) was built in 1875 for wealthy businessman Charles Turner Bentfield. It has changed hands but 3 times in the last century (1952, 1976, 2000).
Glebe House is just off of Shaw Lane, on the corner of Glebelands Drive and externally, a gated entrance leads up the driveway to a double garage, side garden, lots of space for off street parking and a large, lawned garden to the front of the property, which is protected by mature trees, giving privacy to the property from Shaw Lane. The gardens are predominantly south facing but the property does get lots of sunshine all day long. There is also access externally to a large cellar with full height ceilings which provides excellent ancillary storage space.
The restoration, by the current owner has included a recent full redecoration of the house, restoration of the hall floor with handmade encaustic tiles recreated by the original makers Craven Dunill of Jackfield, Shropshire and marvellous stained glass windows over the main staircase. Ashlar stone features along side sandstone, timber framed windows, tall stone chimneys, ornate finials and decorative gables. In addition, the vendor replaced the main roof and bay roofs in 2022.
Internally, a magnificent original door set, divides the external porch from a stunning entrance hallway with original fire place, tiled flooring and a grand staircase, which is overlooked by an original stained glass feature window which depicts the four seasons. This hallway grants access to two large reception rooms to the font of the property, both packed with period features which have been retained and show the decadent history of this home, including a marble fire place and over 11' floor to ceiling heights.
To the rear of the property, there is a large breakfast kitchen with integrated appliances, a falcon range cooker and granite work tops. The ground floor also offers a house bathroom and guest apartment to the rear with kitchenette, en suite bedroom and living room, all benefitting from an entrance to the rear of the home, ideal for family's looking to give independence to some members or alternatively generate an income.
Upstairs, five generous double bedrooms are complimented by a house bathroom, utility room and further kitchenette, which can easily be repurposed to create an additional bathroom.
