Property for sale in Berkeley GL13, 4 Bedroom

A unique opportunity to purchase a beautifully restored and renovated Georgian house built by Edward Jenner, the world renowned Father of Immunology, in the sought-after small town of Berkeley, one of the ancient Hundreds of Gloucestershire.

The property has been finished to a high standard and combines contemporary comforts with meticulously restored original features. Berkeley House is not a grand mansion, but rather a classic and easily manageable messuage with a former coach house, courtyard and a garden laid mostly to lawn with mature trees and shrubs in the borders either side. The coach house has an upper floor that is floor-boarded, with electricity, water and drainage to hand, thus suitable for conversion to, say, an ensuite bedroom with the necessary permissions, of course.

Three steps with wrought-iron handrails lead to a classic Georgian doorway in which the original door has been completely disassembled and rebuilt with double-seals all round.
