Known for its distinctive pink granite, ornate detailing and eye-catching stained glass, the property is steeped in history.
It once housed three apartments before being bought and lovingly restored into a single-family home, as reported by Luxury Property News.
The listing reads: “Internally, this stunning home has a very fine and distinctive interior, with the stature and style immediately clear from the entrance.
“A feature pink granite slab leads to the pointed arched, decoratively moulded and chamfered door piece.
“Other architectural gems include scrolled corbels, oversized pierced and ablated buttress, round arched windows, chamfered decorative mouldings and a conical roof piece with fish scale slats.
“There are deep skirting boards, panelled doors and architraves and highly decorative cornices with vine and grape and floret pattern mouldings, picture rails, ceiling roses and chunky column radiators and Tudor-style arched recesses.”
The castle-style home boasts grand reception rooms, intricate granite carvings and impressive bow windows.
A panelled hallway with a timber rib vaulted ceiling leads through to a bright drawing room complete with a fireplace, garden access and window seating.
Next door, the elegant dining room features a decorative ceiling and a curved five-pane window overlooking the grounds.
The heart of the home is the handcrafted dining kitchen with granite surfaces, an island with butcher’s block and a view over the courtyard.
Upstairs, curved stairs lead to a landing framed by striking stained glass, with bedrooms featuring turrets, fireplaces and an opulent concealed fireplace hidden by velvet drapes.
A secret door opens into a luxurious en suite with a roll top bath, shower, basin and toilet.
The second floor continues the fairytale feel with curved stained glass windows, front-facing bedrooms and a horseshoe-shaped window at the rear.
Outside, the garden features lawns divided by a central path and a fully operational polished granite fountain.
The original coachman’s quarters stand nearby, along with a detached garage fitted with power, water and lighting.
The remarkable property is on the market with Savills through Rightmove for offers over £1,500,000.
