Powyke House is an elegant four storey detached Grade II listed Georgian residence of almost 4,000 square feet, dating back to the early 1800s. The house has been the subject of improvement and refurbishment and offers well presented, immaculate and flexible accommodation, which still retains its original architectural and historic heritage, with more contemporary features.
The accommodation includes an attractive entrance hall, cloakroom, lounge, study, utility room, a farmhouse style kitchen (with Aga) a vaulted dining/family room off the kitchen. At basement level are the cellars, which have been converted into two separate play/games rooms. To the first and second floors are five good sized bedrooms, two newly replaced shower rooms, a family bathroom.
Separately located within the grounds is the former detached coach house, which has been imaginatively converted into a gymnasium and games room. This could potentially be a great space to work from home as office space or as a conversion to a separate annexe. Outside, the house enjoys a lovely approach through two gated entrances onto a sweeping gravel driveway that provides extensive parking for vehicles and leads to a small former garage/secure store room. The fabulous rear garden, which provides a private and sheltered setting with lawn and mature trees. At the far end of the garden is a large ornamental pond/small lake at the centre of which is a decked seating area and beyond which is a Petanque pitch. From the rear garden there are views over adjacent countryside. Offered with no onward chain.

OUTSIDE - FRONTAGE AND DRIVEWAY

Powyke House enjoys an attractive approach via two gated entrances leading onto a sweeping in and out gravelled driveway that encircles a large lawn and is flanked by well established shrubs, impressive trees, hedged and walled boundaries. The driveway spurs off to each side of the house. To the left it leads to a gravelled courtyard that provides further parking for vehicles and is enclosed by impressive shrubs and climbers including Hydrangea, Ivy, Rose, Wisteria and others. To the right of the house the driveway leads to a further walled gravelled parking area with a raised terrace, having a pergola above supporting a productive and mature grapevine. Here also is the original handpump for the well (no longer connected). The driveway is enclosed by high walls. In the right side corner of the driveway is a secure STORE/WORKSHOP (12'7'' x 8'8''), which is ideal for storing bikes and garden equipment. Gated entrances to each side of the house lead to the rear garden and to a paved and cobbled terrace/barbeque area encircled by well established shrubs and trees. Here also is an external shower.
