While Galsworthy House simply oozes kerb appeal, what lies behind its Georgian facade of local sandstone with attractive bay windows and a glass porch may come as something of a surprise.

For while this impeccably-presented and stunningly renovated grade II listed property includes an array of characterful period features such as cornicing and ceiling roses, sash windows, cast iron fireplaces and a fantastic range in the kitchen – to name but a few – these have been incorporated into a contemporary aesthetic which is a little quirky, decidedly stylish and certainly unique.

Galsworthy House has been beautifully renovated throughout with quality fixtures and fittings, timeless décor and immaculate presentation, plus an attention to detail that’s apparent in every aspect, making this a super turnkey home.

The reception rooms are accessed from the main entrance hall and include a formal drawing room that’s home to a stunning fireplace with marble surround and a dining room with an opening into a sitting room area, which in turn flows through to the bespoke kitchen which is perfect for entertaining.

The kitchen is beautifully designed with solid cabinetry made by Built-in Furniture of Thirsk complemented by Smeg appliances, leathered granite worktops, a copper breakfast bar, walk-in pantry and a Rayburn.

Off the kitchen is a stunning bespoke garden room with sliding doors: the perfect breakfast area in which to enjoy the private rear gardens and grounds.

A converted attached barn – accessed from the kitchen – houses a family room and gym on the ground floor with a mezzanine office space reached by a spiral staircase. If desired this could be used as a guest wing or self-contained area for multi-generational living.

The property also benefits from useful spaces including a rear entrance/substantial boot room, a formal cloakroom as well as a utility room, wine store and additional gardener’s WC.

A traditional sweeping staircase leads up to a large landing complete with a lovely reading area and windows overlooking the garden.

This offers access to the family bathroom and three substantial double bedrooms: a guest suite with an en-suite bathroom, a bedroom with a cast-iron fireplace and the master bedroom with a host of lovely features including original timber floorboards and window seats.

It benefits from a substantial en-suite bathroom complete with marble tiling, a large double shower, double vanity basin with a marble top and a contemporary Victoria & Albert freestanding bath, perfectly positioned in front of a window so you can look out over the garden while you soak. There is also a dressing room – with bespoke cabinetry – adjacent to the master suite, which could easily be converted into a fourth double bedroom if required.

Another huge benefit of this property is the vast attic, which would be perfect for conversion if extra space is required to create a large master suite, with ample room for a staircase on the main landing – subject to obtaining the necessary consents.

The grounds of Galsworthy House are as beautiful as the interior of the property, with a beautifully-landscaped ornamental garden at the front, an attached double garage and studio/workshop and the substantial enclosed and private rear garden with a patio adjacent to the main house, various lawns and an additional gravelled seating area next to the Alton greenhouse. There is a magnolia tree and beautiful pathways lined with deep flower beds housing a variety of mature shrubs and plants to provide colour throughout the year.
