7 bedroom house

Dating from 1850, Peacocks is an extensive, secluded Gothic Revival Grade II Listed former rectory, with a profoundly romantic atmosphere. Built from buff-coloured local Farlesthorpe brick and Welsh fish-scale slates, the main house is included in Pevsner's Buildings of England and features charming Tudor and Elizabethan touches with lattice work pillars, barley sugar twist chimneys and drop finials below its soaring roofs. At the rear there is a self-contained 2 bedroom coach house and stables built from the original red brick which has been sympathetically extended. The property sits in approximately 8 acres and is approached by a sweeping private drive, lined with mature beeches and limes. The grounds include a substantial paddock, orchards, kitchen garden and bespoke greenhouse, woodland and many attractive specimen trees. At one end of the gardens is a full size yew maze, while across from the main house is a large sunken rose garden. Further adjacent land may be available by separate negotiation. While much of the property has been sympathetically restored by the present owner over the last 20 years, and its interiors improved to an exceptionally high standard, there remains scope for further restoration and extension to the east wing of the main house.
