ABOUT THIS HOUSE

T

he six bedroom, four bath/shower rooms, arranged over the first and second floor, makes for comfortable family living. Much like the ground floor, the quality of craftmanship and

attention to detail is evident throughout with each bedroom and bath/shower room very much having their own individual feel. The main bedroom is particularly impressive, having wonderful views across the garden and the most impressive ensuite bathroom.

The gardens are simply beautiful, mostly laid to lawn it is interspersed with a variety of trees and shrubs as well as well-established flower beds which are full of colour throughout the summer months. Mature hedging, stone walls and trees form the boundaries and the house has the benefit of enjoying views, not only over the garden but also the countryside beyond.

To the rear of the house is a large terrace which is perfect for those who enjoy al fresco dining with steps leading up to the swimming pool. The huge gravel driveway provides parking for a number of cars and there is a further outbuilding which provides further storage but would be perfect for converting if the necessary permissions we obtained. There is a separate access to a large wing which is incredibly flexible. Not only could it provide further accommodation, but it is currently used as office space, a gym and further storage.

In all, Burton Abbotts makes for an extremely appealing package
