Description
Sitting proudly in an elevated position with panoramic countryside views, Tosson Tower House is a charming five-bedroom Grade II Listed period home. The property blends historic charm with modern convenience.
The ground floor boasts a grand reception hall, farmhouse-style kitchen complete with AGA, useful connecting laundry room / office. Two striking reception rooms, the first of which has a large stone inglenook fireplace, and the larger drawing room has feature fireplace and connected garden room with splendid views across the rear garden and onto the river and hills. Along the hallway you find an ensuite double bedroom which completes the ground floor.
A door from the ground floor allows access to the basement level which offers cellar space and cold storeroom. The cellar dates back to the 1890's when Tosson Tower House was an old Drovers Inn.
The first floor boasts four luxury ensuite bedrooms. The bedrooms are all finished to a high standard and enjoy pleasing views. Tosson Tower House operated as an award-winning B&B for 47 years with Forge Cottage still operating as luxury holiday accommodation, which is popular with returning guests each year.
Tosson Tower House has been the much-loved home of the current owners for nearly 100 years and during that time the whole property has been very well maintained and kept, creating a wonderful family home with a wealth of original period features.
Forge Cottage is a stone build three-bedroom cottage, currently used as a thriving holiday let business with private parking and garden. The cottage could continue to be used as a holiday let and contribute an income but alternatively could be used as additional accommodation for the main house, a connecting door would be possible with the layout of the accommodation.
