Linziestown House
Passing through the Georgian fanlight door, one is greeted by a scene of timeless sophistication. Guided by a flight of cut stone steps, the path leads to a welcoming porch adorned with sash windows on either side, inviting streams of natural light into the space. Crossing the threshold of the double glass doors, one enters the grandeur of the entrance hall, where tall ceilings adorned with intricate cornicing impart a sense of grandeur. To the left, a wooden framed archway beckons, unveiling a tranquil retreat in the form of a library-style area. Here, an Adams style open fireplace serves as the focal point, casting a warm glow over the space, while built-in book shelving invites exploration. This cosy enclave offers the perfect setting to unwind with a good book or engage in a spirited game of chess, enveloped in an atmosphere of timeless charm.

Beyond the entrance hall lies the drawing room, with three sash windows offering sweeping views of the rear garden, while allowing natural light to flood the room. Towering ceilings adorned with intricate cornicing bestow an aura of grandeur upon the space, whilst an exquisite Adams style open fire serves as a focal point. A set of double doors offer passage into the adjoining dining room that mirrors the drawing room in its elegance and grace.

A grand staircase ascends to the first floor, at the return landing, a double bedroom and a neighbouring bathroom awaits. Continuing the ascent, the first floor reveals a spacious terrace, located at the gable end of the house. You will also find bathroom and an additional three bedrooms, including a master suite, complemented by its own ensuite bathroom.

Descending the stairs to the lower ground floor level, the heart of this home reveals itself in the form of a beautifully fitted kitchen, featuring cream fitted units, a classic Aga and Belfast sink. While a door opens directly onto the patio, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living spaces. Adjacent to the kitchen lies the sitting room, a cosy space for everyday relaxation.

Down the corridor, is an impressive games room, a versatile space that seamlessly blends entertainment and relaxation. Here, you are greeted by soaring double-height vaulted ceilings and a feature stone fireplace, complete with a stove. Double doors open onto the charming courtyard, while another set of double doors provides direct access to the swimming pool area.

Gardens & Grounds
Beyond the confines of the residence at Linziestown House lie meticulously manicured gardens and grounds, offering a serene retreat from the bustling world beyond its gates. Accessed through both the front and back entrances, these verdant grounds boast lush lawns bordered by imposing mature trees and adorned by intricate shrubberies and a tapestry of colour and fragrance emanating from meticulously tended flower beds. At the rear of the house, hidden away from the world, a suntrap patio beckons, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living spaces, providing the perfect spot for al fresco dining or simply basking in the warmth of the sun while surrounded by the serenity of the garden.

Nestled adjacent to the patios, is an outdoor swimming pool, adding a touch of luxury and leisure to the already stunning landscape. The pool offers a refreshing retreat on warm summer days, whether it’s a leisurely swim to unwind or a lively gathering with friends and family.

At the side of the main residence, is a charming courtyard. The original courtyard of stables and coach houses had to be demolished and completely rebuilt. The design was to imagine old coach houses and stables converted to modern accommodation, offices and utilities, reusing the original stone facade, coach entrances and nonstandard window sizes throughout.

In addition to its gardens, Linziestown House boasts a range of other amenities. Two spacious paddocks offer ample room for hobby farming or turning out ponies. The property further includes four stables and a hay barn, providing ample space for equestrian pursuits and storage needs.

For furry companions, a dedicated dog run ensures they can roam freely in a safe environment. Meanwhile, a chicken run offers the opportunity for farm-fresh eggs straight from the source. Completing the pastoral tableau is an orchard, where fruit trees flourish, promising seasonal delights and a bucolic ambiance that epitomises the quintessential country estate lifestyle.
