DESCRIPTION Monkton House is an imposing Grade II listed late 18th century house divided into three properties across three storeys. The property is accessed from the High Street via a solid entrance door with period fanlight over opens into the communal hallway with an original staircase serving the first and top floor apartments.
The first floor apartment is charming and comprises the majority of the first floor and extends to 1713 square feet. Benefitting from a wealth of architectural features, including high ceilings with fine ornate plasterwork and ceiling roses provides a stately backdrop to the original sash windows, panelled doors and ornate fireplaces.
From the communal entrance, a door opens through to the reception hall and subsequently the impressive central hall featuring a full height sash window enjoying views over neighbouring gardens and surrounding countryside.
The Drawing Room is a perfect illustration of Adams styling with a curved panelled bay window, detailing to the ceiling cornice, dado panelling and fireplace with its particularly impressive mirrored over mantle. A trio of symmetrically placed original panelled doors line one wall providing useful built in storage. The generously proportioned Kitchen/Breakfast Room is beautifully lit via wide sash windows and fitted with Quartz work surfaces atop a range of cream cupboard and drawer units, along with ample space for a dining table and sofa.
There are three bedrooms. Adjoining the spacious principal suite is the dressing room with built in wardrobes and space for a washing machine, which leads into the recently refitted en suite bathroom with roll top bath. The second bedroom has twin sash windows to the front elevation incorporating original shutters and the third bedroom is a single room next to the master bedroom with a sash window. The bathroom has recently been refitted with ornate character features, including a walk in shower.
SERVICES Mains electricity, water and drainage. Gas fired central heating.
