Knowle House

This attractive, unlisted attached property has been beautifully renovated by the current owners over the last two decades and offers elegant and well-proportioned accommodation. The property is believed to date from the late 18th century and blends many period features with a modern twist.

There is also a useful utility room with access to a large and versatile first floor office room. The impressive drawing room has parquet flooring, fireplace with wood burner, vaulted ceiling and bi-fold doors opening out to the paved terrace.

On the first floor, the impressive galleried landing gives access to the principal bedroom suite with attractive bay window, en suite shower room and walk-in dressing room. There are two further double bedrooms on this floor, one with an en suite shower room, as well as a family bathroom.

On the second floor, there are two good sized bedrooms which share a 'Jack and Jill' bathroom. Steps lead up to two further well-proportioned bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room and one with a bay window and walk-in wardrobe.

The property is approached from Knowle Road via an electronically operated gated entrance over a gravel driveway leading to a secondary electric gate with an area of hard standing and two detached stable blocks situated further on. The driveway continues to the turning circle in front of the house and open garage building.

The beautiful gardens are interspersed with mature trees and shrubs and offer stunning elevated views of the surrounding countryside. The gardens adjoining the main house have various seating areas enjoying the wonderful views, while the upper patio offers a perfect setting for alfresco dining and entertaining. In all the property extends to about 7.3 acres.
