The property

Forsyth Solicitors are delighted to bring to the market this charming 18th century detached Georgian house with secluded, well stocked garden to the rear, centrally located minutes from the town centre and offering spacious and very flexible family accommodation. Gas central heating. Home Report Valuation £810,000. Approximate size 316m2. Built 1730. Summerfield House was built around 1730 and extended around 1820. It is a delightful stucco fronted family house with a pilastered and pedimented entrance, flanked on either side by the original 'donkey house' with its quatrefoil bullseye window and a stone and slate garage. Originally the manse for St. Mary's Church, the house is thought to be one of the first houses to be built in Sidegate and has abundant charm. It offers spacious and very flexible accommodation across three floors. Within the house there are a number of fine period details and the building is of architectural and historical merit listed category B. It is situated opposite Haddington House and close to St Mary's Church and within easy walking distance of the High Street and the town centre. The house is set well back from the road and is approached via a pedestrian gate set into a low stone wall via a path to the front door. Here a vestibule with fan light over the door gives access to the inner reception hall. The drawing room has a tripartite window overlooking the rear garden, an open fireplace and twin marble effect Tuscan pillars. Across the hall the dining room has an Adams style fireplace and opening casement doors to the sun terrace. Here too, situated to the front, is a study leading to the family/sitting room with a gas stove and double astragal doors to the kitchen. Beyond the kitchen is a rear hall with utility room, adjacent store room, gardener's wc and the door to the rear garden. To the front, and off the vestibule, is a side hall leading to a large cloakroom with wc and access to a covered pend where there is a useful workshop/mower store and access to both back and front gardens. On the first floor there is the master bedroom with an en suite dressing room/nursery and bathroom, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. On the top floor there are two combe ceiled double bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom. To the front a stone path leads through a pretty 'cottage' garden with well established shrubs, lavender and roses. To the rear the west facing garden is laid to lawn fringed with colourful well stocked herbaceous borders. A magnificent selection of roses ramble over the rear elevation and a high stone wall ensures maximum privacy. A pedimented stone and slate building to the front provides room for one car, and the original 'donkey house' with quatrefoil bullseye window and cobbled floor offers additional useful storage.
