Detached house for sale in Moreton-in-Marsh GL56, 7 Bedroom

There has been a house on this site since the 1950s. However, the property went through a significant extension and remodelling in late 1990s and further additions in 2007. These alterations, incorporating the original house, have transformed the property into the gracious and imposing property that it now is. The house provides an excellent balance of accommodation which is arranged on three floors with a number of the main receptions rooms and bedrooms having impressive proportions and views over the garden and beyond.

Quarry House is approached off the Stow on the Wold to Broadway road, through a belt of trees and electric gates. The drive sweeps around the garden to a gravel parking area at the front of the house. The front door opens into an impressive entrance hall with staircase to the first floor. Off the hall are the principal reception rooms and access to the kitchen/ breakfast room, which in turn leads through to the utility room where the back door opens to a rear courtyard with additional parking and garaging. The staircase rises to the first floor landing off which is the principal bedroom suite, the guest bedroom suite and four further en-suite bedrooms.

Two secondary staircases lead to the second floor which is configured as a one bedroom flat with further potential.
