Tisbut House dates back to circa 1853, when it was built for the Quarry Master of Box freestone mines, located nearby.
The property underwent an extensive renovation project by the current owners between 2017 and 2021, using RIBA award winning architect Mark Wray. It now showcases a beautiful fusion between its original period features and contemporary additions; with a high specification finish throughout.
During this various works were undertaken, including but not limited to, a replacement roof, insulation, repointing/stitching, damp proofing, replacement of rainwater goods and new drainage.
The well presented and spacious accommodation is arranged over two floors, and offers great modern family living space. You really do get that 'wow' factor as soon as you enter the gates, and that continues in every element.
On the ground floor, from the entrance hall with cantilevered staircase, is the amazing open plan kitchen/dining/family room with central island, an electric induction hob with built-in recirculating extract and integrated Neff appliances. You then have the snug and living room, which both feature multifuel stoves, a door leading out to the garden and a secret door leading into the study. Also on this floor is the utility room, spacious pantry and cloakroom.
On the first floor is the principal bedroom suite, with en suite wet room, dressing room and picture window overlooking the valley. From here is a guest bedroom with en suite wet room, three further double bedrooms (one of which is currently used as a play room) and the family bathroom.
The property is approached through a sliding electric gate onto a private driveway where there is plentiful parking for a number of vehicles, in addition to the triple garage. This features workshop/storage space but is currently used as a gym. There is also an electric vehicle charging point.
The mature gardens wrap around three sides of the property and comprise large formal lawn, terrace, and wilder wooded areas on the lower sections.
There is still scope for a new owner to continue improvements such as creating a composite decking area with sunken firepit, seating area and outdoor kitchen.
In all approximately 1.47 acres. EPC: C.
