6 bedroom house for sale

The Steps has to be one of the most prestigious
addresses in Moreton-in-Marsh occupying a prominent position on the High Street. The property is an important Grade II* Listed Palladian townhouse believed to date from the mid-18th Century. The Steps has undergone extensive renovation by the current owners to provide a wonderful family home with half an acre of gardens. The property has many period features including Modillion cornices, Venetian windows, wooden floors and shutters. The double flight of stone steps with iron railing leads to the front
door which opens up to the entrance hall off which
are the principal reception rooms and stairs to the first floor. Steps from the hall lead down to the extensive cellars which run the entire width of the house. The reception rooms comprise a beautifully proportioned drawing room, sitting room and dining room with high ceilings and ornate working fireplaces. The kitchen/breakfast room is fully fitted and handmade by Damian Spratley (from St Martins College, London) with Mandarin Stone flooring throughout, Belfast sink, electric AGA, double oven and American style fridge/freezer. Adjacent to the kitchen is the well appointed
boot room/utility with door out to the rear terrace.

shower with Thomas Crapper WC and sink.
Stairs from the hallway lead up to the first floor
bedroom accommodation which comprises three large double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom suite has a walk-in dressing room and a Jack and Jill en-suite with separate bath and shower and an additional family shower room. On the second floor are three further double
bedrooms and a family bathroom with central roll top bath.

The gardens of The Steps stretch to approximately
half an acre. It is difficult to imagine when you are
in the peaceful gardens, that you are moments from the bustling High Street. Predominantly laid to lawn, the gardens are extremely private with a variety of mature trees and shrubs surrounding the perimeter. The large, raised terrace provides a wonderful place for al fresco dining and entertaining. There is a pair of single garages with parking to the front and two stone stores.
