Classic elegance of period country house

One of South Shropshire’s fine country houses – a period home dating to the 17^th century has been launched to the market by Balfours.

True to its country house credentials, Seifton House is set in nearly six acres of grounds and pasture; this incorporating a self-contained flat, extensive outbuildings and double garage with office space/storage overhead.

The front entrance welcomes to four reception rooms, each rich in period charm, incorporating stone fireplaces, sash windows and beams. Balfours agent, Cathrine Barre, acknowledges: “This property exudes elegance, it incorporates a smart Georgian wing and an abundance of living space. Ground floor accommodation also includes a large family kitchen breakfast room, which links directly to the more formal dining room. A full suite of service rooms includes boot room, utility, cloak room and cellar.”

A particularly fine oak staircase gives access to first and second floor, with four bedrooms, one en-suite on the first floor and two additional double bedrooms with a large bathroom on the second floor. “Each of the rooms has true period character and elegance, all with good glazing offering natural light and character fireplaces,” Cathrine adds.

Seifton House is cocooned beyond a tree lined drive to its own landscaped grounds, walled garden and paddocks, achieving a truly private setting. Beyond the gates the hamlet of Seifton sits within the parish of Culmington and six miles from the revered town of Ludlow – which enjoys plaudits from many national papers and surveys.

Ludlow is not only renowned for its medieval architecture and Castle, but has an artisan market with independent shops, restaurants and seasonal events. Its railway station offers direct access to the Midlands and to Cardiff, while the A49 accesses principle road networks.

Balfours are marketing Seifton House with a guide price of £1,500,000. For more information call 01584 707100
