Prince Rupert House
4/5 Bedrooms
An imposing Victorian house with a private, sheltered garden and views over the Old Stable Yard, Moat and the River Ouse.
Prince Rupert House, built in the mid 19th century, is a major extension of the original main building of Red House. Its three almost symmetrical façades look out onto the courtyard, the oval and across open farmland to Redhouse Wood. It has a host of unique features including an arched chimney housing the old school bell, tiled floors unevenly worn over 150 years by gentry, servants and school children and a huge, brick faced fireplace with multifuel stove. It has 5 bath or shower rooms including 3 original roll-top baths. White goods are supplied with tenants taking responsibility for their maintenance.
Accommodation
Ground Floor: Entering through the front door into the large, tiled entrance hall, there is access to the dining room. The modern kitchen has an extensive range of units, a fan assisted range oven, ceramic hob, and dishwasher. Adjacent is a utility room with washing machine and drier. The sitting room provides a comfortable environment with ample space for seating and a feature fireplace with log burning stove. The french windows give access to a patio and a secure, lawned garden. The extensive hallway also leads through a glazed door to a study (or twin bedroom) and a cloakroom (or bathroom) with a roll-top bath and shower. There is also access to the shared courtyard.
First Floor: The large staircase leads to 2 bedrooms (both ensuite, one with a shower the other with roll-top bath) and, behind a separating door, the master bedroom (5.6m by 4.9m) with its own bathroom (roll-top bath) and a further bedroom with ensuite shower room.
As all this accommodation suggests this would make a superb, spacious family home set in the quiet, isolated grounds of the estate.
