Parsonage House

Parsonage House is a substantial country house believed to date back to the early 1900's. which is attached on the easterly side to the original farmhouse. It is believed that Parsonage House was built by the wife of Whittaker Wright, an infamous miner and latterly was owned by a member of the Whitbread family.
The house is approached into a galleried reception hall with a magnificent oak staircase leading up to the first floor. Leading off this are the spacious reception rooms with high ceilings, fireplaces and wooden floors.
The kitchen has an oil-fired Aga set within the inglenook fireplace and a pantry. The utility room, family room and WC are beyond. The layout of the accommodation offers so much flexibility and our client uses the sun room on the southern side, which opens onto the swimming pool, as a kitchen in the summer months.
On the first floor there is a principal suite, in addition to six further bedrooms, all with original fireplaces and two shower/bathrooms.
Throughout the house so much of the original woodwork is visible either in pine or oak and there are substantial doors, with original cornicing, leading off the reception hall and landing.
Parsonage House offers generous family accommodation for a buyer wishing to be so conveniently positioned for the local schools, rail stations and the A3 and at the same time giving them the opportunity of placing their own mark upon it.
Situated on the northern side of the house is the more recently built garage block with a double garage and adjoining store. To the south of the house are four outbuildings and a greenhouse. To the east is a further double garage. There is also outside WC off the rear courtyard.
Parsonage House is approached off a shared driveway into a private gravelled driveway which leads up to the front of the house, having the passed the most recently built garages. This is adjoined by wide expanses of lawn and an array of trees including a Monkey Puzzle, a Yew and Magnolia.
On the northern side, it is laid to lawn with formal gardens and many mature trees with an outlook over the adjoining countryside. Should a buyer wish, there is potential to create a paddock area and space for lawn tennis.
To the rear of the house is the enclosed swimming pool area. This is accessed through a wrought iron gate with wrought iron railings and a wealth of well-stocked flower and shrub borders and roses. This clearly is a lovely 'sun-trap' area, full of colour. The remainder of the land on the southern side is again laid to lawn, interspersed with mature trees and a mature Weeping Willow. The gardens and grounds of Parsonage House provide a wonderful setting abutting the adjoining Rockwood Estate.

Parsonage House is situated at the end of a long shared private driveway surrounded by rolling fields. The house is located between the villages of Brook and Witley, both offering a true village environment.
