Description
East House is an impressively proportioned two-bedroom property occupying a wing within the former Grade II listed manor house, Parklands. Parklands was constructed in 1823 and in more modern time was used as a boarding school before being sympathetically converted in 2004 by Swanhill Builders into two houses and four apartments. The property displays stunning features typical to the Georgian era including exceptional 12ft high ceilings, sash windows complete with shutters, cast iron radiators, decorative cornices, and panelled doors.
With generous room sizes filled with natural light, the accommodation extends to 1,584 sq.ft. and is beautifully presented. A grand entrance hall has a WC off, a cupboard housing a tumble dryer beneath the galleried staircase and a further store cupboard. The kitchen/breakfast room is well-fitted with a brand-new dishwasher and washing machine, as well as an induction hob and oven, microwave, and fridge/freezer. A magnificent drawing room is at the heart of the ground floor with incredible ceiling height and floor to ceiling windows and doors spilling out to the grounds. A marble effect fireplace has an electric stove inset. Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite mirrors the superb proportions of the drawing room boasting far reaching views over the Cotswold escarpment. There is an en-suite shower room within the main bedroom. Off the galleried landing, there is the family bathroom with shower over the bath and the second double bedroom.
