luxury houses with terrace for sale United Kingdom (page 18)

There are homes that impress, and there are homes that inspire. Chapel House unquestionably belongs to the latter, a landmark Georgian residence of exceptional architectural presence, offering a rare opportunity to create one of Monmouth’s most impressive family homes, filled with considerable architectural and historic significance.This Grade II* listed property believed to date back to the early 18th century is attributed to ironmaster and former mayor William Rea and displays the refined symmetry and classical proportions typical of the Georgian period. From the moment of arrival, its stature is unmistakable, with curved stone steps rising to a pedimented entrance framed by fluted pilasters and a delicate fanlight, while sash windows, quoins and a Welsh slate roof complete the composition.Inside, the house begins to reveal its remarkable story. The reception hall is a space of real theatre, featuring wooden dado panelling, a decorative plaster ceiling and an elegant sweeping staircase with twisted balusters and a moulded handrail. To the left, two interconnecting reception rooms provide beautifully balanced living spaces, each centred around original fireplaces and enriched by exquisite timber panelling, including an inscription recording restoration by Humphrey Farran Hall in 1910. Large sash windows with shutters flood the rooms with natural light, creating spaces equally suited to entertaining and everyday living.To the right, a generous dining room and study offer further versatility, while a secondary staircase reflects the home’s layered history. Throughout, craftsmanship and period detail are evident at every turn, including a historic fireback bearing the initials of William Rea and the date 1720.Beyond, the former service wing and stable annexe provide extensive ancillary accommodation, currently arranged with kitchens, living areas, utility spaces and additional rooms. This substantial section of the property offers exceptional scope for reconfiguration, whether for guest accommodation, multi-generational living or the creation of bespoke lifestyle spaces such as a cinema, gym or wellness suite (subject to the necessary consents).In total, the house extends to over 12,000 sq ft, with bedroom accommodation arranged across the upper floors. The layout still reflects its previous use as a boarding house, but the property now presents a substantial and compelling opportunity for restoration into an exceptional private residence, or for alternative Use Classes, such as a boutique hotel, high-end care facility, offices, or retirement village, subject to the necessary planning consents.Chapel House is offered for sale on a freehold basis.The grounds are as compelling as the house itself, extending to approximately 1.43 acres and forming part of Monmouth’s historic conservation setting. The garden walls, railings and gateway are Grade II listed, while the gardens themselves are also registered Grade II, reflecting their heritage significance.A pathway leads through lawns and mature planting towards the front entrance, creating a sense of privacy and arrival despite the central location. Walled gardens to either side provide structure and character, while to the rear, terraced lawns descend gently towards the River Monnow.The outlook is particularly special, with Vauxhall Meadows and open countryside beyond, offering a tranquil and ever-changing backdrop.The grounds provide generous space for outdoor living, entertaining and relaxation. A large walled hardstanding area, accessed via double gates, offers ample parking, complemented by additional outbuildings including a workshop and storage, along with a paved terrace behind the house.AGENTS NOTE: There is a Commercial EPC in place for Chapel House, Rating D.

When the present owners were looking for a family home in the Lakes in 2011 they had one set requirement – a lovely spacious open plan contemporary living space that would provide central focus for their family home, a room in which they could cook, eat and relax; spend time together and host family and friends. Not finding what they wanted, they set about to create it and chanced upon High Ridge. Located in the sought after residential area of Storrs Park on the east side of Lake Windermere in a quiet and gently elevated cul-de-sac setting, the house was built in the 1960s and to be fair to all was ready for overhaul. Combining a series of smaller rooms the vendors were able to design their own dream living space and in doing so, created a bespoke room that not only has windows to all four elevations allowing the light to flood in all day long, but also a room which had the one thing all Lake District residents crave – a view of Lake Windermere. Here at High Ridge it’s even better as different parts of the same room capture a different angle of this super vista especially as picture windows, a wall of bi-folding doors and French windows have been added. To see the masts on the yachts gently bob in the breeze on their moorings or sail elegantly past is really rather wonderful, especially if you happen to be washing up at the time! The ribbon of low lying mist on an autumnal morning is a lovely sight to behold with your morning brew as you contemplate the day ahead. Light, bright, contemporary and highly sociable – it’s just what they wanted and is undoubtedly the heart of this home.The transformation didn’t stop there as all rooms, as well as the outside spaces, received their magic touch. Internally the house has been given a uniform look with new internal joinery (room and cupboard doors, square cut skirting boards and architraves) fitted throughout with a handsome deep brown walnut finish. There’s a great use of natural materials with the inclusion of slate and Italian stone tiling to floor and walls, plus contemporary kitchen and bathroom fittings, including a brand new, modern ensuite bathroom for the master bedroom. The owners have also introduced Karndean flooring to the open plan space, inner bedroom hall, reception hall and cloakroom for its good looks and hard wearing qualities. The second and third bedrooms have engineered spruce flooring with a light colour washed finish continuing the contemporary use of wood. Outside the gardens have been landscaped to provide cleverly positioned seating areas and easy to maintain planting.Whimsically named Christmas Lane conjures all sorts of romantic notions and in many ways lives up to its name, a short cul-de-sac of detached houses, each one completely different in terms of period and style sit harmoniously surrounded by well tended gardens affording privacy for each individual property. The vendors have said that one of the aspects of life on Christmas Lane they have enjoyed the most has been the sense of community with local residents getting together for high days and holidays. The house will no doubt appeal to those who love to entertain as the open plan space is perfect for hosting whether it’s an informal supper for friends or a big bash for a milestone birthday. All in all, High Ridge is recommended for those seeking contemporary good looks, open plan living, low upkeep gardens, an accessible location and a view of Lake Windermere. In all, 0.21 acres.LocationHigh Ridge is exceptionally accessible off the main Bowness to Newby Bridge Road (the A592) but is sufficiently far away from the highway to enjoy a quiet setting and thanks to some timely and thoughtful hedge planting which is now nicely mature, it enjoys a private spot. It is an accessible location both for the central Lake District honey pot villages and nearby larger towns, plus the road and rail network. Bowness offers great shopping, a multitude of places to eat or enjoy a drink, a local cinema/performing arts venue and an additional theatre venue. If you’re seeking a slower pace of life and access to the water, then the marina, yacht club and motorboat club are all convenient, but if you prefer dry land then Windermere gold club is also handy and there are several routes for walking, running and cycling, right from the doorstep. There is also a popular gym and spa at The Old England Hotel in Bowness. If you have children of school age, then there are local primary schools in Windermere and secondary education at The Lakes School (at Troutbeck Bridge) and fee paying Windermere School. Step inside The main entrance is to the west side of the house where double doors open to a generous reception hall – always a good use of space, a wide hallway is such a lovely place to greet guests and also makes daily comings and goings easier with space to kick off your shoes and store coats. A statement open riser staircase leads to the main living level with steel support and polished wooden treads. Wall lights and downlighters keep it looking sleek. This entrance sets the tone for the rest of the house with its clean lines and restful colour palette. Off the hall is a separate reception room with a tiled slate floor – this is an adaptable room that can be put to a range of functions as family life dictates; it’s been a teenage den but is currently an office to enable working from home. It would suit a media room, gym or studio – endless possibilities, the choice being yours. There’s a point for a wall mounted TV to keep cables hidden and maintain the streamlined look. Beyond the snug is an attractively fitted utility room. The practical tiled slate floor continues and there are base and wall units, a Hotpoint washing machine and condenser tumble drier. Here you’ll find a hatch to the undercroft space under the house. There isn’t full head height but it’s a great accessible space for suitcases and Christmas decorations. Also off the hall is a cloakroom with loo and wash basin and a door to the integral double garage so you can come and go without getting wet if it’s raining – always handy if you are off somewhere special or have a boot full of shopping. The garage has a newly installed electric up and over door, power and light.Up to the first floor, the staircase rises straight into the open plan living space with a contemporary balustrade with wooden handle and steel cable surround. The kitchen has cabinets painted in a matt finish, brushed metal handles and Iroko hardwood worktops. A matching central island with seating along the far side makes for a social and practical layout. A Mercury range takes center stage and will doubtless appeal to keen cooks with a gas hob and electric ovens. Often a concern with open living, there’s a fan above the range so cooking smells don’t permeate the living space. There is an integral Hotpoint dishwasher and a stable door to the rear garden. Adjacent to the kitchen is the area zoned for dining with double opening French windows and a Juliette balcony commanding a lake view. Moving to the seating area there is a point for a wall mounted TV and also an alternative front door. It enjoys new ceiling mounted spotlights, plus an inside/outside feel with a wall of bi-folding doors to the south opening to a balcony, again, enjoying lake views. The perfect place for a morning coffee or chilled sundowner as you watch the sun set over Claife Heights on the far side of the lake.A door leads to the inner bedroom hall of which are the three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The hall has two sets of built in cupboards with walnut finished doors and automatic lights upon opening.Continuing the look, the master bedroom has walnut finished doors to a built in double wardrobe and a newly refurbished modern en-suite bathroom with marbled vein effect tiled walls and flooring, a large walk in shower cubicle, wash basin and WC. Two further double bedrooms share the stylish house bathroom with a three piece suite of bath with shower and screen, wash basin and loo.Step outsideThere are in and out gates making the parking easy to navigate but also meaning the garden can be enclosed to be safe for children and dogs. The drives open to a generous parking area. A path laid with black slate and contemporary black pointing extends around the house opening to wider terraces at both the front and rear. Bordered by hedges there are mature shrubs and lawns, all designed to be low maintenance. There’s outside lighting and an external tap. The rear terrace gets the best of the evening sun and is a lovely place to watch the sun set over the lake.ServicesMains electricity, gas, water and drainage.

Approached by a long sweeping gravel drive, the property boasts fantastic reception rooms downstairs and four well-proportioned bedrooms upstairs – all with uninterrupted views of the gardens and the idyllic surrounding countryside. Built in 1939 for the current owner’s grandparents, the property retains many original features, including fireplaces and a historic dovecote.

It’s a really peaceful and quiet home – great for entertaining and family life. My grandparents originally built the house in the late 1930s and it’s been handed down through the generations. The property has been well cared for – retaining many of the original features. Three of the bedrooms have period fireplaces and there are other historic elements such as the glass tiles in the bathroom and a dovecote in the garden. So, the house is full of character, coupled with contemporary touches.”“The reception rooms downstairs are all exceptionally light and airy. There’s lots of space and a communal feel – which is great for family get-togethers and entertaining.” “The bedrooms all have wonderful views of the gardens and countryside. From the smallest bedroom, you get spectacular views in the morning as the sun rises and you can often see deer roaming around in the distance.”“The house was designed for countryside living. So, you have the area with the boiler room and ‘garden’ loo. This is handy when you’re coming in from a country walk or gardening – as it’s somewhere to store wet coats and muddy boots.” “In the summer, the gardens are wonderful for entertaining, playing football or just chilling out and enjoying the spectacular views. You can almost get lost in the grounds. The patio area is very pretty and a real suntrap in the summer. The gardens have an extensive range of fruit trees, including apples, pears, plums, greengages, raspberries, blackcurrants, and redcurrants.” “The colours in the garden are spectacular in the spring and summer. We have several varieties of rhododendrons around the property, as well as wisteria, beautiful lime trees and a stunning Oak tree. There are several outbuildings and sheds in the gardens – which are great for storage. The garden shed has double glazing and a storage heater, so it could be adapted for various uses. There’s also a garden office with a wood burner.” “You have a lot of privacy and seclusion around the property. Eaton and the surrounding villages are very friendly, with a good mix of people who’ve lived here for a long time and newcomers.”“You’re close to the larger towns of Grantham and Stamford. The Engine Yard, which is three miles away, has independent shops and a café. You’re also close to Stamford, which has a much wider range of shops and other amenities. There are lots of great country pubs locally.” “For commuters, there are good road links to major cities such as Nottingham and Leicester. You can also get direct trains to London from Grantham in just over an hour.”Key Features:• A stunning country home built in 1939 with a wealth of period features • Two acres of gardens and grounds • Secluded location in a tranquil rural setting • Large entrance hall with downstairs WC • Solid oak flooring in the main reception areas • A spacious and light living room with a mixed-fuel burner • Separate dining room with double doors to the study • Conservatory-style study with fine garden views • A heart-of-the-home kitchen with ample low-level and high-level units • Integrated appliances include a Rangemaster oven, fridge-freezer and integrated dishwasher • Large pantry with original 1930s tiled shelving • Handy boiler room, workshop and ‘garden’ WC in a courtyard wing • Utility room features fitted shelving and space for appliances • Large first-floor landing with views across the gardens • Four generously sized bedrooms with glorious garden and countryside views • Charming balcony extends from bedroom 2 – perfect for a morning coffee • Three bedrooms feature original fireplaces • Spacious family bathroom with original glass wall tiles and on-trend checkerboard flooring • Large floor-to-ceiling airing cupboard for storing towels • Extensive mature gardens that wrap around the house • Formal gardens include an array of fruit trees, rhododendrons, a flower garden and a gorgeous Oak tree • Several outbuildings, including a converted 1940s air raid shelter • Office in the garden with a log burner • Garden shed that is double-glazed and could be adapted for different uses • Small stores used for potting and garden tools • A period dovecote • Sweeping gravel drive with a double garage to the side of the house • Double garage includes a lockable workshopLocationSituated in the northeast corner of Leicestershire close to Melton Mowbray (8 miles) and Grantham (11 miles), Eaton is a charming hillside village comprising largely of traditional houses and cottages.

Desford LE9Desford is a village situated in the south-west of Leicestershire, benefitting from all the merits of its countryside location while also being close to motorway and rail networks that crisscross this east Midlands region. It is only seven miles west from Leicester’s city centre, with its multi-cultural restaurants, theatres, museums, galleries, rich retail selection and attractions such as the King Richard III exhibition. From Desford, the closest motorway links are the M1 and M69 toward Enderby. There are train stations at Rugby for links to Birmingham and Narborough for links to Leicester, with trains running regularly from there to London St Pancras International. East Midlands Airport (EMB) and Birmingham Airport (BHX) are the closest airports. Desford or ‘Deor’s Ford’ was first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 but is possibly of Anglo-Saxon origin, being based on a significant hill 400 feet above sea level. St Martin’s parish church dates from the late thirteenth century and the village centre has a selection of Grade II listed buildings including a timber framed manor house and service buildings from the 1600’s. The Baptist Church on Chapel Lane was constructed in 1866. All combine to mark the centuries that have passed in Desford, including the present development of homes. The original settlement predates the Norman Conquest. In one of many Enclosure Acts of the eighteenth century the predominant farming community were forced to become invested with industrial economics and then, with the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, came the railway. A railway station was built linking established lines to larger towns and cities. It was closed to passengers in 1964 and then to freight in 1984. A half winding wheel on Lindridge Lane is a permanent reminder of the era and today Caterpillar Inc. are a significant employer in the area, having repurposed the old Desford aerodrome. Today, the bustling village is part of the Harborough district of Leicestershire and is within a half hour drive of Enderby, Kirby Muxloe, Market Bosworth and Kirkby Mallory. Although it has existed for centuries, this large village continues to appeal to the community through a wide selection of sport, (Sport in Desford Clubhouse with new Scout hut and tennis courts) education and leisure amenities. There is an array of shops, a library, cafes, a pharmacy and parks. Public houses include The Lancaster close to the old railway station and the Bluebell Inn in the village centre.

Sellers Insight - We were looking for a character property with land when we first came across this wonderful home, and we knew straight away it was right for us, say the owners of Wood Farm. The combination of space, privacy, outbuildings and potential was ideal our children were teenagers at the time, and the house and grounds gave us all the room we needed.Tucked away in a peaceful rural setting and approached via a long drive, the property sits in the heart of its own ten acres. It's set well back from the road, which makes it very private, but at the same time, we're only five minutes from Raglan and Usk, the owners explain. It really does offer the best of both worlds rural yet connected. The house itself has evolved over the years. In 2005, we built a large extension with a spacious sitting room, utility, conservatory and two additional bedrooms, while also refurbishing parts of the existing home. More recently, we added an oakframed pergola in the garden, which has become a fantastic outdoor entertaining space.It's very much a house for all seasons, the owners explain. In winter, the sitting room with its wood fire is a cosy retreat, while the Aga keeps the kitchen warm and inviting. In spring and autumn, the conservatory is ideal for relaxing and watching the garden come to life. And in summer, the bifold doors open the house to the outdoors the patio, fishpond and pergola are wonderful spots for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying the sunset with a G&T.The grounds offer endless opportunities. There are productive vegetable beds, a greenhouse, orchard and the fields, stables and outbuildings mean that we have been able to enjoy keeping chickens and donkeys. We were also thrilled to host our daughter's wedding within the grounds.Community spirit is close at hand too. The village pub is popular with locals for food and drinks and the village hall, which hosts everything from yoga to film nights, are within walking distance and always welcoming. Raglan and Usk both offer shops, schools and amenities Raglan even has Neil James Butchers, voted the UK's best and Cardiff and Bristol are both just over half an hour away.Asked what they'll miss most, the owners are clear: Everything we have loved living at Wood Farm, enjoying such a beautiful home and grounds in a friendly community with so many happy memories*W3W// /youth.accompany.inserting

The house has always felt welcoming and generous, with rooms that flow beautifully. We added a skylight on the landing to bring in even more natural light, replaced the kitchen, and updated the garden room, which has become a favourite spot to sit and enjoy the view.The living room is particularly lovely, especially in winter, with the wood burner creating a warm, cosy atmosphere. The dining room has hosted countless family celebrations and is perfectly designed for Christmas gatherings. And there is nothing quite like waking up in the bedroom to views of trees in summer and autumn or looking straight out to open fields beyond when the branches are bare in winter and early spring.The generous garden has been transformed during our time here, and truly feels like having our own private park. We have planted trees and shrubs, created a pond, and shaped parts of it into a haven for wildlife, badgers, deer, foxes and rabbits are all regular visitors. With two patios and plenty of space for barbecues and al fresco entertaining, it has also been fabulous for parties, from weddings to camping and even the church fête.The village itself is incredibly friendly, with a primary school, shop, and an active village hall hosting everything from WI, gardening club and bowls to mums and babies groups. There are wonderful walks across the fields, along the river and towards the nearby nature reserve.Agents Notes Tenure: Freehold Year Built: circa 1860 EPC: D Local Authority: Huntingdonshire Council Tax Band: EIMPORTANT NOTE TO PURCHASERS: We endeavour to make our sales particulars accurate and reliable, however, they do not constitute or form part of an offer or any contract and none is to be relied upon as statements of representation or fact.

My husband and I had this property built to our own design some 10 years ago as we saw the plot and thought it would be absolutely ideal for a spacious residence. It has been a superb home; very warm and cosy and, with the solar panels, it is very energy efficient and with financial returns. However I want to move nearer to my children and let another family enjoy everything this place has to offer. We did look at the idea of getting planning permission for the building of properties on the further lawn and there was a positive attitude from the planners regarding the possibility of building a single dwelling but for health reasons we were unable to pursue it but it is definitely an opportunity for new owners to consider. Wingham is a delightful village that stretches out along a tree-lined high street dominated by the tall green spire of the historic St Mary's Church with its 13th century arches. The village includes thatched cottages, medieval hall houses and handsome Georgian buildings with around sixty houses built before 1760 and many dating back to the 1400s that all combine to give the village a unique, traditional beauty. However it is no sleepy backwater as it has two pubs including the Dog Inn, winner of the 2019 Great British Pub award, the Wingham Central Stores, the Wingham Country Market,  a surgery and dentist. Not far away is a garden centre and the excellent Gibsons food hall and farm shop. There are also a multitude of societies and sports clubs, while the recreation ground has been upgraded. For a day out with the family the Wingham Wildlife Park is only half a mile outside the village. There is a well-regarded local primary school in Wingham and nearby Adisham primary is rated Outstanding by Ofsted. There are excellent grammar schools in nearby Sandwich and Canterbury and top private schools in Canterbury. Here you will also find three universities and a further education college as well as high street stores, individual shops, restaurants, historical buildings and two mainline stations including Canterbury West with the high speed train that can whisk you to London in under an hour.
