8 bedroom house

DESCRIPTION

The property is built on the site of a former Tudor house, features of which still survive today in the rear wing of the house. The first evidence for the piece of land which became the site of the Plas comes from the 1760 Beaufort estate map. Constructed between 1787 and 1793 from river stone from the Onney brook, the house was lime plastered and colour washed in the traditional manner of the time. The original stone roof tiles were replaced with slates sometime after 1850. The central block of the house is three storey with two storey side wings adding an aesthetically pleasing symmetry to its appearance. The rear of the property is dominated by a full height gabled stair projection with an extension providing an apartment which can be accessed via the rear hallway.

BUYER NOTE

Intending purchasers are advised that a restrictive covenant will affect the future use of the property, gardens, ancillary buildings and land, further details of which may be found in the general section of these particulars.
