Detached house for sale in Prospect Gardens, Elm Road, Evesham, Worcestershire WR11

Prospect House is a stunning Grade II listed Georgian home set in magnificent gardens on the edge of Evesham. Once the home of the Italian musician and composer Muzio Clementi. Constructed of mellow red brick in Flemish bond, the property dates from the early 1800s; renovated with great attention throughout, the property has a wealth of original character features, including Minton tiled and marble floors, sash and bay windows, some with shutters and wonderful high ceilings and cornices, which all blend beautifully with the more contemporary fixtures and fittings to create a spacious and flexible family home perfect for modern living. The ground floor shower room and the adjoining sitting room could provide a ground-floor bedroom if required.

There is a range of fabulous reception rooms with cast iron fireplaces with marble hearths and surrounds on the ground floor alongside an open plan kitchen/dining/living space which forms the hub of the home and opens into a large conservatory which overlooks the beautifully landscaped gardens. The kitchen has high-quality fitted units with granite work surfaces, a gas Aga and further Siemens, Miele and Sub Zero appliances.

The impressive original staircase rises to the split level first floor landing, providing access to the property's six double bedrooms and six bath/shower rooms, three of which are en suite. There are two further single bedrooms/ dressing rooms. The principal bedroom and bedroom two both feature Art Deco-themed shower rooms. A large cellar with several chambers provides further accommodation; currently used as a home gym and wine store, although flexible for many uses.

Electric gates open to the driveway, which sweeps around to a parking area at the front and provides access to the attached double garage and separate carport. A second detached double garage offers substantial garden equipment and machinery storage space. The landscaped gardens are simply stunning with a fountain, have been designed to a white theme with a repeat pattern, and have an irrigation and sprinkler system. Perfectly manicured lawns and mature palm trees surround the property's kidney-shaped swimming pool, which can be used throughout the year thanks to its retractable enclosure, pool house and paved surround, whilst a large terrace provides the perfect space for entertaining with wisteria adorning the house.
