Full Details

Description
Netherwood House and touring park hosts an attractive five-bedroom half- timbered Victorian residence. It has been comprehensively improved and updated over recent years and provides spacious family accommodation with a wealth of retained features. It is unique for such an outstanding residence to have the additional commercial benefit of a discreetly situated touring park.

The house is approached through a pillared entrance to a striking entrance hall with beautiful Minton patterned tiled flooring and a pitch pine staircase off. There are two large, elegant, and exceptionally light reception rooms, both with the most attractive bay windows. The kitchen and dining area has been recently modernised to a beautiful standard and provides an extensive storage range with Quartz moulded worktops, peninsular breakfast bar, instant boiling water tap and Neff induction hob. The elegant bay window leads out to the gardens and patio area. Further ground floor rooms comprise of utility room, cloakroom, office, and pantry. There is a wine cellar in the basement.

Upstairs there is a significant landing leading to five generously sized bedrooms and two bathrooms. All of the bedrooms enjoy high ceilings and striking large windows providing an abundance of natural daylight, and most retain beautiful original fireplaces.

External
Netherwood House is approached along a tarmacked drive leading to a gravel driveway at the front. This driveway extends past the house providing access to the touring park, grounds and additional paddock. The gardens provide extensive lawned areas, terrace, and aluminium framed Greenhouse.

To the rear is an appealing block paved courtyard with an L shaped array of outbuildings providing workshop/ store/ garages and loft accommodation above. These adjoining out buildings have considerable residential development opportunity (subject to any necessary planning permission.) Behind these buildings is newly modernised shower block, toilets, and water facilities servicing the touring park pitches, all with electric points. The park provides a peaceful and tranquil setting with additional extensive lawned area.

There is an additional 1.3 acre paddock (this has a separate title but is included within the sale) on the north boundary which is currently unutilised and provides excellent opportunity for further business development and to increase the number of touring pitches, subject to necessary planning permissions being obtained .

The touring element has been developed further by the existing owners who have built a good reputation and an established touring site in the area with strong occupancy levels.
