Well-presented former rectory with equestrian facilities in edge of village location
Description
Harcourt House is the former rectory for Charwelton. A substantial detached house originating from 1928, which has been renovated by the current owners to provide well-presented accommodation, whilst retaining original features. The house benefits from wonderfully high ceilings in light and airy rooms. Features include original servants bells, open fireplaces, wooden flooring, cast iron radiators, original four panel doors, finished with Fired Earth tiling and Farrow & Ball paints, making for an ideal family home all set within 2.6 acres on the edge of the village backing onto open countryside. The property also benefits from equestrian facilities and various planning permissions, which further enhance its appeal.
On the ground floor, a spacious hallway leads to the main reception rooms, including a generous dual aspect sitting room with original brick fireplace; study with original fireplace, playroom / snug. The impressive, light breakfast room and adjoining conservatory provide a versatile kitchen/ family/ dining room, plus there is a secondary kitchen with fitted units and appliances. There is a laundry room, downstairs shower room and cloakroom.
On the first floor is a spacious principal bedroom benefitting from countryside views and an en suite dressing room, four further double bedrooms, a bathroom, a shower room and a linen closet. There is also a large boarded out loft, providing excellent storage space.
The property benefits from planning permission for the demolition of the existing conservatory, construction of two storey side extension to form double garage and self-contained annexe and a single storey rear extension. Planning permission DA/2013/0223.
OUTBUILDINGS, GARDENS AND LAND
To the front and side of the house are gravel parking areas. The generous south facing gardens back onto open countryside and include lawn, gravel terraces, pergola, pond and raised vegetable beds, greenhouse, log store and garden store.

There is planning permission to replace these stables. Planning permission DA/2015/0547.
The property benefits fenced paddock grazing, some of which have their own water supply, and a round pen, making it an ideal equestrian set up. There is a public footpath away from the house.
