DESCRIPTION
A truly unique opportunity to acquire a delightful period property, set within beautiful and secluded gardens and grounds extending in total to approximately 3.5 acres or thereabouts - The Gatehouse situated in Tolethorpe Park, offers a wealth of character and period features located in an enviable parkland setting to the rear of Tolethorpe Hall.
The property is Grade 11 Listed and was formerly the Gatehouse and adjoining outbuildings to Tolethorpe Hall dating from medieval and later, being built of coursed rubble stone with a steeply pitched Collyweston stone slate roof with coped gable ends. The property has many period features, notably the impressive carriageway and smaller pedestrian way to the side, each with double chamfered stone arches, stone mullioned windows and stone arched doorways. There is also a small brick outhouse to west of the gateway with semi-circular headed window.
Tolethorpe Hall is a Grade 11* Listed impressive country manor taking its origins from the early 11th century when the first manor house was built on the site and which is now home to one of England's premier alfresco theatre venues - the Stamford Shakespeare Company.
The Gatehouse is situated two miles north of Stamford, with its setting and surrounding forming part of a classic English estate with little having changed over the centuries.
The Gatehouse itself dates back to medieval times and forms an organic part of the outstanding historic landscape of the area, set in its own stunning mature gardens and grounds of approximately 3.5 acres. The house is a fine stone building with stone mullioned windows and an array of carefully preserved authentic period architectural features.
The interior comprises:
Ground Floor - Reception Hall, Cloakroom / W.C., attractively fitted Kitchen / Diner, Dining Room, Drawing Room with open ornate fireplace, an impressive Games Room and a large Function Room for entertaining with Kitchenette and W.C.;
First Floor - Master Bedroom with Dressing Area and En suite Bathroom, Bedroom 2 with En suite Bathroom, Family Bathroom, Inner Hall, two further good sized Bedrooms.
The Gatehouse is situated to the rear of Tolethorpe Hall, in a very private location, an area of great beauty, set within magnificent mature gardens and grounds of approximately 3.5 acres or thereabouts, including a grass paddock of just under 1 acre.
The property is approached via a sweeping driveway flanked by lawns with mature hedging and trees. The driveway carries on through a stone archway, formerly the Carriageway for horse and carriage, a particular feature of this property, linking front and rear gardens. There is an ample hardstanding for a number of vehicles in the courtyard area to the rear of the house and also pleasant landscaped gardens.
The Gatehouse is beautifully situated, within mature gardens and grounds, with its private walks and wooded areas, expanses of lawn, borders stocked with a wide variety of shrubs, bushes and flowering plants, paved seating area with feature pond offering peace and serenity. In springtime the gardens feature a breathtaking spectacle of hundreds of blossoming snowdrops and daffodils.
The Gatehouse has everything to provide its owner with an exceptional country family residence in a stunning historic setting. Properties of this pedigree and calibre are rare to the market and an early viewing is highly recommended.
