3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Nentsbury CA9

This unique home is a distinctive and characterful property, formerly serving as a hunting lodge for the Earl of Derwentwater, with parts of the building believed to date back to the late 16th and early 17th centuries.
The Old Bastle House has been renovated to an exceptionally high standard throughout and offers generous accommodation comprising three bedrooms, two bathrooms, snug, study, cellar, oil fired central heating and double glazed throughout. In addition, the property benefits from an attached secondary section, providing excellent potential to extend the main living accommodation or create a separate income-generating rental unit.
To the exterior there is private parking to the front and rear for five vehicles, established and well-maintained gardens and a small stream flowing through the grounds. We highly recommend viewing this property.
