An enchanting mid-Georgian house with extensive secondary accommodation, indoor pool house and outbuildings surrounded by walled gardens, parkland, woodland and wild meadows totalling 6.87 acres.
Once part of a landed estate, Whiteford is situated in a wonderfully private and peaceful setting surrounded by just under seven acres of beautiful parkland grounds containing three walled gardens. It incorporates the estate farmhouse and its accompanying cottages, walled gardens, outbuildings and parkland, after the manor house burned down in 1913. The farmhouse is built on a gentle slope and is beautifully presented with light-filled accommodation on two floors and has retained many original architectural fittings.The ground floor contains three south-facing reception rooms including an impressive, vaulted sitting room overlooked by a mezzanine library with a minstrel's gallery. The large, L-shaped kitchen/dining room with its flagstone floor is at the back of the house opening to a veranda and the walled courtyard garden.The first floor has lovely views over the surrounding countryside and is accessed by two staircases. The first leads up to the main bedroom suite, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. A second provides access to the mezzanine library and the conservatory, which opens onto a terrace with a loggia overlooking a beautiful garden with a wildlife pond and working waterwheel. Adjacent to the sitting room is a guest suite that leads to another walled garden area.Secondary accommodation, outbuildings and groundsThe property incorporates two self-contained cottages that until recently have provided an income stream as holiday accommodation. However, if desired they could provide accommodation for extended family. There is also a self-contained flat/annexe over the garages. All are presented to a very high standard. Adjacent to the farmhouse and within the parkland are several outbuildings, orchard and woodland. An attractive kitchen garden can be found in one of the walled gardens.
