FORMER ENGINE ROOM TO WIGMORE MANSION WITH OVER 2000 SQ FT OF ACCOMMODATION WITH A PLOT SIZE OF APPROXIMATELY 1.4 ACRES ......

The Engine House was built in 1900 to house Wigmore mansion’s electricity generator. Wigmore Estate had strong connections to both the Great War and World War II. Converted in 2005 into habitable accommodation the property offers good space with over 2,000 SQ FT, and well-proportioned rooms. Entering via the porch at the front of the house gives direct access to the light and spacious sitting room. On the left is the separate study. To the right of the sitting room is the kitchen/breakfast room with a front outlook and direct access to the patio and garden. From the kitchen/breakfast room we pass the utility room on the way to the high-vaulted atrium which gives on to the dining room featuring a large storage space at the rear and an airing cupboard. Past the cloakroom and w.c. is the rear entrance hall to the back door, which opens directly on to the general courtyard containing the entrance doors to other Wigmore dwellings. Returning to the back hall, on the left is the enclosed staircase to the cellar, with restricted head height. The first-floor landing is on two levels with two bathrooms located at the rear of the property, the bedrooms will be found at the front of the property, the main bedroom features an en-suite bathroom, the additional two bedrooms are each of a good size. Outside, the gardens and grounds will be found to the front of the property and extend to some 1.4 acres. A pretty wisteria covered gazebo provides a shaded seating area to enjoy in the front garden, a path then leads one to the remainder of the grounds and continues in a loop around a pretty garden with mature trees and pond, beyond this is a further area of informal garden, interspersed with areas of interest and seating areas. There are two parking areas accessed in this area. Closer to the house is large garage with driveway passing in front of the property.
