Watcombe Corner is a detached late 19th century residence set in approximately a third of an acre of part walled gardens. The property has been restored and developed into a stunning six bedroom residence providing superb family accommodation of around 4,000 sq.ft over three floors. The design of the residence merges traditional architecture with classic/contemporary fittings to incorporate light and space. From the large double entrance doors, you step into the vaulted glazed dining hall, with further doors opening onto the rear garden. From here two steps lead down into the extensive drawing room with high ceiling, plaster cornice, large doors and windows on three aspects, limed oak parquet floor, stone fireplace and traditional cast-iron radiators. A second hall, with loo and stairs to the first floor, leads to the family snug/sitting room, which enjoys a Charnwood log burning stove and large bay window.
Returning to the dining hall, off which the bespoke painted kitchen is to be found, designed and installed by Kingsey Kitchens with Dartmouth Blue ‘total control’ electric Aga. To one end of the kitchen is the breakfast area with Charnwood log burning stove and traditional walk-in pantry. To the rear of the property is a boot room housing also the boiler and pressurised hot water tank. Beyond this room, through a covered walkway, is the office/studio with large windows looking out onto two sides of the garden. At first floor, a generous landing leads to a superb vaulted master bedroom with dressing area and en-suite shower room. This room enjoys views down into the vaulted dining hall and into the gardens from the large window and door with glass Juliet balcony. Three further double bedrooms are to be found on the first floor along with a guest shower room that has a floor to ceiling walk-in glazed shower, a laundry room plumbed for a washing machine and a family bathroom with original cast iron bath. A second staircase leads from the landing to the second floor where there are two further double bedrooms into the eaves, both with lovely views over the town to the west and over Watlington Hill to the east. These bedrooms have an
adjoining shower room.
Services: Mains water, electricity, drainage and gas.

The property is approached off Watcombe Road, a private road serving a number of individual homes. Double wooden gates lead to a gravelled drive, giving way to lawn with mature hedging. There is a further lawned garden to the rear of the house with wide brick steps leading down to the drawing room. The two gardens are linked by a covered walkway between the office/studio and boot room. The gardens have an old brick wall to two sides and a large garden store, formally the garage. The property benefits from planning permission to build a double garage and a children’s fortress off the drive to the front.
