DescriptionShaw of Dryfe House was built circa 1800 and is described as “2 storey with a 3 bay Classical house” within the category B listing. It is constructed in whin rubble with red ashlar dressings and there is a large extension added in circa 1970s to create a large family home. There is a range of outbuildings to the rear, excluded from the listing, which would be perfect for redevelopment to other uses (subject to appropriate consents).

Internally the property benefits from many of the original period features including panel doors, a stone cantilevered staircase with decorative cast iron balustrades, column radiators, working shutters on the original sash and case windows and decorative cornicing. The accommodation on the ground floor is accessed via the solid wood door (with fanlight above) opening into the spacious entrance hallway which provides access to the two main reception rooms: an attractive drawing room with dual aspect windows to the front and side along with a feature fireplace and a formal dining room, also with dual aspect windows. To the rear of the house is a large cloakroom, a spacious fitted kitchen with AGA and central island, which is open plan to the breakfast and sun room, utility room and a study / small sitting room. The first floor accommodation comprises a generously sized principal bedroom suite with ensuite shower room and built in wardrobes, a further bedroom suite with ensuite bathroom (also accessed from the hall), four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The sixth bedroom is currently utilised as a home office.

There is a cellar under the original house which is accessed from the ground floor cloak room and provides useful storage.

The grounds surrounding the property are mature and a genuine mixture between lawned areas and wooded parcels which provide the house with shelter and privacy. There are various short pathways through the woodland areas. To the north of the dwelling house is a Dutch barn as well as a range of stone outbuildings which have fallen into a state of disrepair but would offer a purchaser the potential to create secondary accommodation or studio space, subject to statutory.
