The Dower House is an exceptional home with a long history. The front of the house was originally built in the 17th Century, allegedly as a dormitory house for monks, as an overflow house when the Weston Manor Hotel was a Monastery. This was extended in Victorian times to incorporate additional bedrooms and reception rooms, all further enhanced by the high ceilings and later, installation of Arts and Craft fireplaces, one with the signature Robert Houseman's wooden mouse carving. The current Vendors totally refurbished the property, adding a further bedroom, bathroom, reception room, cloakroom, utility plus a barn for garaging and storage. This separate building currently has planning permission for ancillary accommodation for elderly parents etc. There is also planning permission for a substantial extension to the rear of the existing house.

The grounds, which run to approx. 1.1 acres, with ample parking to both sides of the property, are mainly laid to parkland, with many fruit trees, and various indigenous trees, the whole garden being behind dry stone walling, hedging, wooden fencing and with wrought iron double gates to the main entrance.

Photographs are from when the current Vendors lived at the property, which has been rented out for the past 5 years. The property is offered with no upper chain and vacant possession on completion.

Under Section 26 of the Estate Agency Act, we would advise that the Vendors are also Directors of David Doyle Estate Agents.
