Lilliestead is a house of great charm and character in a beautiful country setting. It is a late Georgian house with the potential to be an extremely comfortable and welcoming home, although currently it requires some refurbishment and remedial works. Built of dressed stone, under a slate roof, Lilliestead benefits from a wonderfully light and bright atmosphere and provides flexible family accommodation together with well proportioned, elegant, formal reception rooms. Of particular note is the open plan kitchen/dining/living room which, together with the drawing room, has wonderful views over the valley. Should the need arise, the house could be extended, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.

Outbuildings
Outside the back door is a coal store and boiler house. Across the tarmac parking area is a traditional range of buildings containing the former cow byre, 2 loose boxes, feed/tack room and garage. On the north side of this building is a 5 bay, steel portal frame general purpose shed and a traditional steading building, all currently used for storage. Adjacent to the steading is a three bay lean-to, which provides stabling. All of these buildings could be put to a number of uses, subject to obtaining the necessary consents; the buildings nearest the house would make very good secondary accommodation/office space. The steading buildings could subject to necessary consents, be converted into further residential accommodation.

Gardens and Grounds
A tarmac drive leads from the public road, past the former farm buildings through a drive gate to Lilliestead. At the front of the house is a pretty, formal garden surrounded by mature hedges and stone walls. Gravel paths pass around the front of the house, bordered by lavender beds. There is an orchard in the small walled garden on the west side of the house. On either side of Lilliestead is a belt of mature trees which shelter both the house and buildings. The majority of the land at Lilliestead lies to the south of the house. It provides really good, sheltered grazing as well as wooded banks and great places for children to play.

Services
Mains electricity and water. Private drainage to a septic tank. Lilliestead has an oil fired central heating system and an oil fired Aga. These services have not been recently tested and therefore there is no warranty from the agents.
