Description

Bassett's is an impressive unlisted country house set in glorious grounds with outstanding southerly views. The property has been in the same family since 1980 and boasts a unique blend of grandeur and practical family living. The well-presented and adaptable accommodation is arranged over three floors, with an impressive indoor pool complex below and an adjoining self-contained cottage providing flexible secondary living space or a rental income. The property features leaded light windows, oak floors, intricate decorative ceiling cornicing, and an impressive wide feature fireplace in the sitting room. The kitchen is open plan with its own large dining area and doors to the garden, and there is a large utility room with copious cupboard space. The elegant dining room has another impressive fireplace and large windows looking onto the garden, and the principal bedroom has a barrelled ceiling with windows including a large bay looking over the gardens into woodland and across the valley to the South. The property also enjoys extensive views over the countryside from the cottage, which provides flexible accommodation that can be self-contained and is therefore a source of rental income. The impressive approach to the estate is along a long private lane, and the property is surrounded by mature, formal gardens with seating areas, terraces, pathways, and established borders with many colorful specimen plants, shrubs, and trees. The land below the garden to the South is mostly natural rough pasture with wild flowers, a waterfall running down to a stream via a pond, and extensive planting and ancient woodland.
