Description - 2 Gatcombe House is a most interesting part of Gatcombe House, which is Grade II* Listed and is believed to have some medieval origins. The house has much of the original characterful features with stunning ceiling plasterwork and freezes. The house benefits from tall celling heights, with large doorways and windows which provide lots of natural light into the property. The drawing room/dining room, the sitting room and the large main bedroom are certainly significant selling features of the property.

Accommodation - From the ground floor there is a superb feature drawing/dining room with an elm floor, a beautiful open fireplace and three large sash windows overlooking the gardens. One of the main features of this room is the ornate plastered ceiling, believed to date back to 1730. Leading off this room is the sitting room, again a splendid spacious room, with a fireplace and two large sash windows.
 
This in turn leads by French windows into an Edwardian conservatory that overlooks the delightful lawned gardens and provides access to the paved terrace. From the rear hall there is a kitchen and a cloakroom. The kitchen has a range of fitted kitchen units with space and plumbing for a washing machine.

On the first floor there are four bedrooms, with the master bedroom being of a generous size. There is a bathroom adjoining this main bedroom. In addition there is a family bathroom plus two large walk in storage cupboards.

Outside - Directly to the rear of the house is a pleasant paved terrace with raised flower beds. Beyond this are the delightful lawned gardens which lie to the south side of the house. Above this garden is a wooded area. The boundary is marked by a splendid oak and other mature trees.   There are numerous, well stocked flower and shrub borders and trees including magnolia, camelia and rhododendrons. At the top of the garden there is an attractive Summerhouse and a further terrace.   To the side of the garden there is a parking for additional vehicles which have the right to pass over the entrance drive of the adjoining property. There is also a large open fronted double garage measuring approximately 18'4" x 16'5" with large storage space above. This garage is located to the eastern elevation of the house and adjoining other traditional buildings.
