Originally built as the vicarage and packed full of history, Shalfleet House is believed to originate from 1873 with multiple later additions that have led to this imposing and fine house. It is understood that in the early 1870’s the Simeon’s of Swainston Manor gifted a large plot of land to the parish which is located close to the church to build the new vicarage. Is its assumed that the Simeon’s helped fund the construction. Available to the market for the first time since 1956 and having served three generations of the same family, illustrating that this is a great opportunity for a new owner to acquire this significant house. This important house offers extensive accommodation over three floors and is positioned in a sought-after location within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and a stone’s throw of the breath-taking Newtown Nature Reserve. The house retains a wonderful array of period features and would now benefit from modernisation. This is an exceptional family home with characterful yet flexible accommodation and well-proportioned rooms. The gardens are particularly impressive with a croquet lawn area, orchard, hard tennis court, formal lawns, and quality outbuildings.
