A beautifully presented Grade II Listed house part of Nether Swell Manor, set within delightful private and communal gardens and grounds
Description
The Nether Swell Manor Estate was created in 1903 by the Edwardian architect Sir Guy Dawber for Sir John Murray Scott and his brother Walter Montagu Scott, a London stockbroker. Dawber was the ideal architect for the house as he was at the same time researching a number of important Cotswold houses in the locality. His familiarity with the many permutations of Cotswold buildings provided the ideal palette to create a wealth of period detail throughout the house. The Manor House is built of coarse stone and accented with picturesque gables, pierced parapets and traditional stone mullioned windows all beneath a Cotswold stone tiled roof with decorative finials. Subsequent additions to the Manor House were completed in 1909 and bestow a grand presence to the house, characterised by the addition of the castellated tower, twin double bay windows, crowned with ornate fretwork, projecting oriel windows and elevated terraces. These works impart a distinctive older and Jacobean aspect to the property.
In 1998 the Manor House and estate were purchased by the renowned house builder Charles Church who in association with Cheney Developments Limited extensively renovated the property. The original Manor House was divided into four substantial country houses. Unlike many manor house conversions, the house has been converted vertically rather than horizontally. This approach preserves the original facade and layout of the original house resulting in three interesting self contained country houses with each property benefitting from a private entrance.
The Tower House forms part of the former Edwardian country mansion situated within the private Nether Swell Estate.
The beautifully presented accommodation is arranged over three floors with the most magnificent views over the rolling Cotswold countryside. The Tower House forms one wing of the manor house and retains a sense of privacy due to the private gardens on two sides. The well proportioned living accommodation is stylishly presented and characterised by light filled rooms with high ceilings. The property is Grade II Listed and incorporates attractive period features associated with the Edwardian era.
The entrance hall features a period style roof light and in turn provides access to a superb kitchen/dining room with impressive bay window. The kitchen is extensively fitted with attractive wall and base units, polished granite work surfaces and incorporates integrated electrical appliances. The drawing room has an open fire and a large transomed window overlooking the adjoining formal gardens.
The first floor bedroom accommodation is exceptionally well proportioned and benefits from attractive views and superb bathroom suites. The property also incorporates a third floor castellated tower which is currently used as an intimate study with glorious all round views of open countryside and over the neighbouring properties. This room would lend itself to a variety of uses.
The well appointed accommodation also comprises a wealth of electrical fittings, including a fully installed Nacoss security system with panic buttons and a five amp lighting circuit to the entrance hall, drawing room, sitting room and master bedroom suite. In addition there are ample television and telephone points throughout the property. A pressurised water system provides hot water on request. There is also a built in water softener.
The communal gardens and grounds are fully maintained under the communal service charge and amount to approximately 10 acres.
Lot 2: The private garden surrounds the property on two sides facing south and east and comprise paved seating areas complemented by herbaceous borders set within a walled garden. The garden has been purposely landscaped to ensure that it requires minimal maintenance. Beyond the garden and across the drive is an area of natural woodland under planted by spring flowering bulbs with an aspect back towards the Manor House and to the Cotswold countryside beyond.
Nether Swell Manor is situated at the end of a private half mile drive and accessed through electrically operated wrought iron gates. Set apart from the house is a single garage with traditional timber doors with loft space above. Electric light, power and water are connected. There is an additional parking space for exclusive use by the owners of The Tower House and further parking is available in the nearby visitor areas.
