Situated in an elevated position on the edge of Haverbreaks Estate enjoying magnificent views out over the open fields, Canal waterway and Lancaster Castle beyond, Tufton Warren is a substantial family house which has undergone complete renovation in the last ten years by the current owners. The property provides excellent, well-proportioned and generous accommodation with high ceilinged rooms, sash double glazed windows and the principal reception rooms benefitting from west facing views out over the garden and beyond.
Built in 1891 by the Storey Brothers of Lancaster, Tufton Warren accessed through a pair of electrically operated wooden gates mounted on stone pillars with a long private driveway leading down to the front of the house. The entrance hall has a flagstone floor and a gas fire with attractive surround with doors leading off to all principal reception rooms, making the house flow incredibly well. To the left of the hall is the study benefitting from hand built fitted units and a large sash window giving a wonderful outlook up the long drive.
The dining room has beautiful ceiling cornicing, enough room to seat ten guests and a lovely open fireplace with marble surround along with access into the garden room which enjoys west facing views out over the garden. The drawing room commands the central position in the house with a large open fireplace and a large bay window flooding the room with natural light.
The kitchen has been completely transformed, adding a substantial extension with full width bi-folding doors out on a patio area that overlooks the garden, creating the large family kitchen/breakfast room that all buyers are looking for, designed by English Hardwood Design. Positioned off the kitchen is a large utility and cloakroom that leads to the back door, where there is parking for many cars.
On the lower ground floor there is a fantastic entertaining room with a bar, snooker room, gym and a laundry room. There is an exterior staircase that takes you up to the pool area through the gym with a shower room.
Upstairs the principal bedroom sits above the drawing room benefitting from a large bay window with unbelievable views, there is ample built-in wardrobes and an en suite with a bath and shower. There are a further four bedrooms, further two bathrooms and a dressing room for the principal bedroom just across the corridor.
On the top floor is potential for a further three bedrooms but is currently used as a cinema room, office and music room.
Across from the back door is a large garage with parking for three/four cars with a car lift, at one end is a gardener's room with a WC. Upstairs there is substantial loft space currently utilised as storage but subject to planning permission could become a self-contained flat.
Garden and Grounds
The garden extends to almost two acres with a swimming pool to the right of the property, heated by an air source heat pump, an outdoor shower, hot tub and plenty of patio space for outdoor entertaining especially as the garden is set up with an outdoor Bose music system. There is exterior lighting throughout the grounds and driveway.
The garden consists of a large lawn once a former grass tennis court, plenty of fully stocked flowerbeds, several mature trees and hedges and a path around the perimeter of the grounds. A folly in the garden provides storage for a mower and other garden equipment.
