Description

Evington House is a magnificent Grade II listed archetypal home which skilfully and effortlessly combines two eras making a particularly attractive facade. The main part of the house is Georgian and provides the major share of the accommodation, whilst seamlessly merging with a Tudor wing that gives a real period feel. Over recent months the house has been subject to the most extensive restoration project to bring this home back to its former glory, as such today’s house is characterful and beautiful in style with great thought given to retaining the elegance of the era with a luxury finish. Although the house has undeniable grandeur, it is very much a workable and manageable home with practical and flexible accommodation that flows with such ease. The appeal internally is the modern style that contrasts beautifully with the period detail, high ceilings, multi paned Sash windows and ornate fireplaces.

Entrance is gained through a gabled porch leading to the glorious reception hall with original stone flooring. From the hall, the house naturally splits the main accommodation to the annex and whilst there is a unison between the two, there is also a distinct separation should one require. The two formal reception rooms are set to the side of the hall, with the drawing room enjoying a dual aspect vista to the front and rear gardens. The original Georgian Cornice and window shutters add to the grandeur of these high ceiling rooms. The formal dining room is wonderfully light with a marble surround feature fireplace. An oversized original door leads to the drawing room, which is of beautiful proportions also with a marble surround fireplace with gas inset. A set of original glass paned double doors open onto an outside terraced balcony which overlook the landscaped gardens. The reception rooms link to the kitchen, which is the real hub of the house enjoying a dual aspect vista over the beautiful gardens to one side and of the courtyard garden to the other. The clever design of the room makes it particularly social, with room for sofas and a large dining table opening to a well-appointed kitchen area with luxury units and an excellent range of integrated appliances from Bosch. The island unit with breakfast bar naturally divide the room to an area with a vaulted ceiling with glass lantern, adding natural light. There is a spacious pantry with fitted shelves and a separate utility/ boot room off the kitchen which leads into the garden. There is access from the kitchen/dining/family room to an outside decked balconette via French doors leading down to the gardens and kitchen garden. A study is set to the side of the house with level access to the pretty courtyard. A cloakroom with shower completes the accommodation on this floor.
The original Georgian staircase rises to the upper floors with two bedrooms and a beautifully finished bathroom with a free-standing Claw foot bath and separate shower. The stairs continue to a further bedroom with views over the courtyard to the side. The arrangement of the two main suites are a feature in themselves. The master bedroom is a spacious room with an elegant ceiling height and a small flight of stairs rising to a beautifully finished en suite with free standing claw foot bath, separate shower and a deep sink set into an antique unit. A theatrical corridor, lined with three sash windows, leads to a further guest bedroom with en suite bathroom, this room enjoys views over the front lawns.

The Tudor wing of the house provides a flexible option depending on family needs. With access from both the main house and a private front door, it effortlessly merges the accommodation and could be either an extension of the current reception rooms and bedrooms, or, as a self-contained unit ideal for an au pair, dependent relative or as a rental opportunity. This section of the house has an abundance of character detail including, panelled walls, beamed ceilings and solid wood flooring.
