Full property description
A beautifully restored and artistically presented Grade II Listed 17th-century detached farmhouse, complete with a superb one-bedroom annexe and studio, situated in the highly sought-after village of Egerton. Occupying approximately 1.61 acres of beautifully maintained grounds, the property offers in excess of 3,000 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation across the two buildings.
Amherst Court is rich in period character, showcasing an abundance of original features including exposed beams, stripped wooden floors, open fireplaces and traditional latch doors. The current owners have sympathetically embraced the property's heritage while introducing their own impeccable sense of style and interior design, creating a home that effortlessly blends historic charm with modern comfort. Externally, the attractive weatherboarded elevations have been meticulously maintained, preserving the timeless appeal of this exceptional home.
The property also benefits from planning permission for further alterations and enhancements, with plans and drawings available upon request.
A handsome reeded-glass front door opens into a spacious entrance hall with a staircase rising to the first floor. To the right is a generously proportioned reception room, currently used as a home office, although equally suited as a cosy snug thanks to its wood-burning stove. To the left, the elegant dual-aspect sitting room enjoys a second impressive wood-burning stove and attractive column radiators, creating a wonderfully inviting living space.
To the rear of the property, the accommodation opens into a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining room. The kitchen is beautifully fitted with an extensive range of bespoke wall and base units centred around a substantial island, complemented by a traditional electric two-oven Aga, twin Butler sink and a range of integrated appliances. The dining area is positioned within a delightful glazed garden room, enjoying uninterrupted views over the sun terrace and rose garden, with French doors opening directly onto the outdoor entertaining space.
A well-appointed utility room provides ample storage and space for laundry appliances, together with a convenient cloakroom.
The first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms and a beautifully appointed family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a particularly impressive triple-aspect suite featuring a walk-in dressing room and a luxurious en-suite bathroom.
OUTSIDE:
Amherst Court occupies approximately 1.61 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds. Directly adjoining the house is an expansive sun terrace with a pergola draped in mature wisteria, providing the perfect setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond lies a delightful rose garden and extensive lawns, all beautifully maintained to create a tranquil and private setting.
