Description
Shipton Standing is a Georgian style home built in 1963 by renowned house designer Alan Gore. The house has been extensively renovated and improved by the current owners, creating a fabulous family home with elegant rooms, large sash windows, high ceilings and wonderful proportions.
Amongst the many recent improvements are the creation of a stunning kitchen/dining room and enhancement of the Georgian style interior, such as by the addition of deeper skirting boards, window architraves and a neoclassical fireplace.
On entering the house, a generous hall opens out to an impressive, wide staircase with natural light from the tall landing window above. From the front door, the sightline continues through the kitchen to the rear garden beyond. Off the hall is an elegant cloakroom with basin and coat hanging space and separate WC. The sitting room has fabulous proportions and is dual aspect with large sash windows on two sides as well as a French door to the garden. The room has an elegant fireplace with open fire, built in shelving, and double doors that lead into the adjacent large dining room. This room is also dual aspect with three windows, a French door opening to the terrace, built in storage and another door giving direct access to kitchen. The stunning kitchen, dining family room has been designed by combining two rooms to create one impressive, open plan space in which to cook, eat and entertain.
The kitchen includes bespoke, hand-painted cabinetry, a Gaggenau Fridge Freezer, combination microwave, induction hob, wine cooler and gas fired Aga, all designed to be both practical and visually impressive against the high ceilings and large volume of space in the room. There is a generous island with Corian worktop and versatile lighting on dimmers with plenty of natural light from three large windows facing the garden and a French door, which opens onto the terrace for easy outdoor dining. Off the kitchen is a bright, spacious garden room which is currently used as the ideal family/TV room. This has a solid roof and is glazed on three sides with two French doors opening onto the terrace. The addition of a wood burning stove has created the perfect inside/outside living area for all seasons.
A rear hallway connects the kitchen to a utility room with very large butlers sink, bespoke hand-painted counter height and full height cabinetry for maximum storage and housing a washing machine and tumble dryer. A side entrance door opens onto a covered porch connecting to the garage door and driveway. Also off the rear hallway is a home office, with ample room for two or more desks and a gas fire. Stairs lead down into a large basement room with windows, central heating, built in cupboards and sink area. As well as providing excellent storage, it would be ideal for use as a games/ TV room, home cinema space or den for children if required.
The wide staircase leads upstairs to a bright landing space off which are six bedrooms, three bathrooms and storage cupboards. The large principal room is at the rear of the house and benefits from views over the garden and ample light from the four windows.
This room has a wall of built in wardrobes including one with vanity area with hand wash basin and drawer unit. There are five additional double bedrooms, one of the same size as the principal room with built in wardrobes and one with a walk in wardrobe. There are two large shower rooms and a family bathroom, all beautifully appointed. The shower rooms have contemporary style walk in showers with overhead rose and handheld hose, washbasin stand and a wall hung WC. They have underfloor heating and dual fuel towel radiators.
Mirrored wall cabinets provide good storage with internal electric points. The principal bathroom is in a more traditional style with wooden flooring, a bath, pedestal washbasin, WC and electric towel radiator.
