DESCRIPTION Goldburn House is a wonderful example of a beautifully presented Regency country house situated within a quiet and tucked away rural location. Built around 1710 the property exudes all the hallmarks associated with it’s bygone age. In recent years the property has undergone a comprehensive and sympathetic restoration programme whereby modern day comforts combine perfectly with the many notable features found throughout the property. A colonnaded entrance portico leads into an elegant entrance hall where in turn a beautifully carved Queen Anne staircase with polished timber balustrade leads to the three floors. There is a stunning master bedroom suite, guest suite together with four further bedrooms (one en-suite) and family bathroom. Classic symmetry, well-proportioned reception rooms with large windows and impressive fireplaces again are a reminder of the period, whilst a large kitchen breakfast room with a modern twist provides an excellent living/dining area. Goldburn House is a lovely choice with all the comfort and convenience of a modern property steeped in character. The restoration has achieved a stunning blend of old and new offering accommodation that has character, style and individuality. GARDENS AND GROUNDS From the road, the property’s driveway passes through a pair of mature lime trees, flanked by mature beech, copper beech and oak trees, sweeping down through the large lawned gardens to a parking and turning area immediately adjoining the house. To one side there is an extensive barn which provides an adaptable range of workshops/storage space and the potential for the expansion of the accommodation or conversion to annexe/holiday units subject to the necessary consents.
