"A Handsome Period House Set in Delightful Gardens Located in A Highly Sought After Village
St Petrock House is a beautifully presented family home, believed to date from 1850, with later additions and sympathetic improvements. The accommodation reflects the elegance of the period, featuring well proportioned rooms, high ceilings, and large sash windows that flood the interiors with natural light.
At the heart of the house is the spacious kitchen breakfast room, ideal for family life and entertaining. The bedrooms are all generously sized, many benefitting from double aspect windows. A particular highlight is the impressive indoor swimming pool complex, with a large space above currently used as an office, which could easily be adapted into additional living accommodation or a self contained annexe.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
Approached via a private gravelled drive, the property offers ample parking with hardstanding for several vehicles and a triple garage block, connected to the house by a covered walkway leading to the boot room.
The gardens, predominantly to the south of the house, offer privacy and tranquility.
They are largely laid to lawn, complemented by mixed flower borders, mature trees, and shrubs, with a stunning backdrop of rhododendrons. To the north of the house, accessible from both the back door and the swimming pool, lies a charming, sheltered courtyard complete with attractive water features.
