Description

Bonners is a distinguished Grade II* listed residence set within approximately 2 acres of glorious private grounds With architectural elements dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries, the timber-framed construction, steep old red-tile roofs, and the heavy purlin roof structure with queen-posts lend a truly historic character and authenticity.

Approached through secure electric gates, the property is arranged around a charming cobbled courtyard. Inside this splendid period home has been sympathetically modernised to create a comfortable, yet elegant family residence with tremendous flexibility, perfectly suited for family life, entertaining, working from home and multi-generational living.

The impressive entrance hall, complete with a bespoke cocktail bar, opens to two comfortable seating areas, creating a striking social space. Off this, a wing of the house can function as a self-contained annexe, with two double bedrooms (each ensuite), its own kitchen, dining and large living room with fireplace.

There are three further reception rooms, all with feature fireplaces, and a superb dual-aspect kitchen/breakfast room designed for both family use and entertaining, with a large island and seating for six. From here, doors lead through to a dining room and the original well house, with doors opening to a terrace. A large utility room and boot room are also accessed on the ground floor.

Upstairs, there are five additional bedrooms and five bathrooms, including an exceptional principal suite with two dressing rooms and a stylish ensuite shower room.
