Property description

Dating back to 1836, Marton House is a beautiful Regency country property offering elegant and well-proportioned accommodation over three floors. Great care has been taken by the current owners to preserve the wealth of original features whilst maintaining and upgrading the house to modern standards.

With a layout of rooms typical of its era, Marton House has a large and impressive central hallway, off which lead the four primary reception rooms. Beyond, is the kitchen breakfast room, study, sun room and utility/boot room. All the rooms are afforded private, open views of the grounds, with the South East aspect to the rear flooding the drawing room, dining room and sun room with natural light.

Three double bedrooms and two beautifully appointed bathrooms occupy the first floor, arranged around a large landing area and staircase. A second stair rises to the second-floor loft room with WC. Similar to the ground floor, the second and third floor rooms have far reaching rural views.

Gardens and Grounds
Marton House is approached by a long driveway that sweeps in-front of the house and around, into the rear courtyard. Adjacent to the courtyard is a large barn, triple garage and greenhouse. Formal gardens are found close to the house, along with a stunning flagged terrace and courtyard to the rear. Pasture extends away from the house to the South and West, ring-fenced by mature woodland. A large wildlife pool provides a tranquil focal point.

The Cottage
Across the courtyard, is a delightful detached two-bedroom cottage with a sizeable kitchen/breakfast room, drawing room and open plan central sitting room, from which stairs rise to the first floor.
