Sowerbys are delighted to offer the market this attractive country family home set in two acres of stunning gardens. Ellingham House combines original features from the Georgian, Regency and Victorian periods as the home has been substantially extended over the years. A truly superb example of a traditional English home that has been upgraded by the current owners. With flexible and generous accommodation throughout and tucked away within this delightful village of Ellingham the property makes a great family home. The property consists of entrance porch, reception hall, study, drawing room, dining room, garden room, family room, kitchen, workshop and cloakroom. On the first floor there is a further master bedroom, four further double bedrooms, family bathroom, separate shower room and another cloakroom. The outside consists of long gravelled driveway, parking areas to front and side of property, traditional English walled garden, meadow, tennis lawn, family garden, woodshed, garage, stabling and a further enclosed floral garden and sun terrace.

ENTRANCE HALL 16' x 12' 2" (4.88m x 3.71m) The entrance hall or additional reception room enjoys a Georgian sash window to the front aspect overlooking the front gardens.

SITTING ROOM 17' 1" x 14' 7" (5.21m x 4.44m) The "blue room" offers delightful views over what was the tennis lawn and provides a fantastic formal area to host guests away from the other family areas of the home.
