Energy Efficiency Potential: 72.0 Meer bekijken Minder bekijken Kingfield is a superb and beautifully situated Georgian property set in approximately 13.67 acres of glorious grounds, with a high level of privacy. The property would lend itself to becoming a luxury small hotel or fantastic family home, and offers huge potential. The property, which was the former hunting lodge for Netherby Hall, offers generous, flexible accommodation with retained period features, including the main staircase, floors, skirting boards, ceiling cornice work, doors and fireplaces to name a few. Now requiring a level of modernisation, the property offers excellent scope. Kingfield has been sympathetically modernised in some areas over recent years, namely the bathroom facilities, providing flexible and substantial accommodation with scope for sub-division if required. There are a range of outbuildings to provide general storage, garaging, and stores relating to the biomass boiler. Additional land and outbuildings may be available by separate negotiation. The garden grounds have been well maintained and the property enjoys a private position accessed by two driveways. Primary access to the house is gained via the front driveway, with newly installed electronically operated gates. A gravel driveway sweeps around the house and culminates in an area with ample parking and turning. Accommodation The reception hall features attractive parquet flooring and a Robert Adam style fireplace. Directly off the hall, and located to the front of the property, are two lovely large reception rooms, both with parquet flooring, open fires and floor to ceiling bay windows offering views over the garden and fields beyond. Further reception rooms include a sunny garden room, a snug/library, family room, and an impressive billiard room, with arched alcoves, an open fire and a wood panelled ceiling. The kitchen is located to the rear of the property and offers some fitted cabinets as well as an Aga. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful preparation/secondary kitchen and a separate pantry/cold store. A cloakroom with separate WC, a drying room, laundry room, additional WC and a covered courtyard with storerooms off, complete the ground floor accommodation. Steps from the inner hall also lead down to the cellar, which offers two rooms and a wine store. Shallow stairs on the principal staircase lead up to a spacious first floor landing. At half landing level, access is gained to three generous double bedrooms and a modern bathroom. Two of these bedrooms are interconnecting and one has an open fire. The larger bedroom enjoys a dual aspect, fitted cupboards, an open fire set within a marble surround and has a door to a further bedroom, which would make an ideal dressing room or en-suite bathroom. From the upper landing seven further bedrooms can be found. Many rooms enjoy twin windows or a dual aspect, and fireplaces, and the principal rooms to the front of the property enjoy far reaching views, one with access to a roof terrace. There are three impressive modern bathrooms, featuring twin sinks, free standing roll top baths and generous showers. A walk-in linen cupboard, further storage cupboards and a WC completes the first floor accommodation. Outside Kingfield is set within just under 14 acres of attractive garden grounds. The well-tended gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, with mature wooded areas, rhododendrons, shrubs and bushes. There is a delightful sunken garden and terrace to the west of the property and an overgrown former walled garden to the east of the garage. The garage is a large L-shaped building with sliding timber doors and covered courtyard to the front. This, along with the former battery house located opposite, are wonderful features of the estate. The former battery house, original garaging, former dairy, stores, boiler house and woodchip store are included in the sale.
