Description
Peverel is a striking family home with glorious views, set in 3.5 acres of unspoiled rural surroundings. Commissioned in 1936 by a German architect, the property is listed in Pevsner's architectural guides and has been in the same family ownership since 1952. The well-balanced accommodation, which would benefit from some updating, features a large reception hall, study, drawing room, dining room, and spacious kitchen/breakfast room, with access to various domestic rooms. The five bedrooms and two bathrooms are arranged over two floors, with built-in wardrobes and a balcony in bedroom four offering stunning views. The property's prime feature is its beautifully maintained grounds, with well-tended lawns, established trees and hedging, and an orchard. A sun terrace with open loggia provides an al-fresco entertaining area, and a stable block and adjacent paddock offer additional space and potential for equestrian activities. The property is set back from Shellwood Road and is approached by electric gates, with a long driveway and extensive parking area.
