Overview

Russell House takes its name from Lord John Russell, a two-time Prime Minister schooled there in the 1800s and is a fine detached Georgian property set in a desirable position in the heart of the peaceful village of Woodnesborough. The property dates from the early 19th century and holds Grade II listed status, featuring handsome brown brick elevations and large sash windows while inside the accommodation features elegant modern styling and fittings, while retaining much of its original character.

On the ground floor, the welcoming reception hall leads to two comfortable reception rooms and the relaxed, open-plan kitchen and dining room. The generous drawing room at the rear features a splendid cast-iron open fireplace and a dual aspect with bay windows overlooking the rear gardens, while there is also a well-appointed sitting room at the front.

The kitchen and dining room features understated, restrained styling, with exposed wooden floorboards and a neutral colour palette. There are Shaker-style fitted units and a stainless-steel range cooker, as well as space for a family dining table.

Additional living space can be found on the lower ground floor, where there is a further sitting room and a home gym, as well as storage space.

Six beautifully presented bedrooms are arranged across the first and second floors, including the luxury principal bedroom with its built-in storage and en suite shower room with a walk-in shower. There are family bathrooms on both the first and second floors, both of which feature freestanding bathtubs and separate showers.

This property has 0.41 acres of land.

Outside

Outside there are delightful gardens to both the front and rear. The walled gardens to the front have a gated pedestrian entrance and a paved pathway, with lawns either side and herbaceous borders with fragrant lavender and other flowering perennials.

The rear gardens include a patio for al fresco dining, a well-maintained lawn and an upper area with a pond and a summer house, all enclosed by mature hedgerows and trees. Parking is available in the garage at the side, with its storage above.
