Description
Little Park, once part of the Gilston Park Estate, is a substantial country house set in historic grounds including ancient parkland and a five acre lake – with a waterfall feeding Fiddlers’ Brook within the property’s woodland.
Little Park is a superb home set in very special gardens. Little Park has been a much loved family home and now offers an incredible opportunity for a new purchaser to update to their own taste. With versatile accommodation throughout, the main house is divided into two independent homes, perfect for multigenerational living; or to convert to one dwelling (subject to necessary consents).
Entrance hall leads to; drawing room with bay window and double doors opening to gardens, separate internal double doors also open to a large triple-aspect dining room.
The entrance hall also leads to the dining room and to the kitchen breakfast room, with doors opening onto the rear terrace, with stunning views over the gardens and lake. There is a sitting room off the kitchen, again with doors opening onto the gardens. The kitchen is also serviced by a good sized utility room.
Off the landing, the principal bedroom has a walk-in dressing room, bathroom and balcony with beautiful views over the gardens and lake. There are three further en-suite bedrooms and a further balcony overlooking the parkland and driveway.
