DESCRIPTION Lewiston House is an imposing Victorian detached home set within well-established gardens of 0.66 acres. Located within the popular village of Brimscombe, the property is situated within walking distance to many amenities the village has to offer. Constructed as the mill house to Lewiston Mill in the 1840s, the striking elevations include a rear bay window spanning over three floors while internally the property has retained much of its original features including elm and oak floorboards, sash windows with shutters, servant bells, and a magnificent balustrade curved staircase. Despite this well-preserved character, the property benefits from not being listed and in previous years has had planning to construct a separate dwelling within the large grounds.

Internally, the accommodation extends in all to 3,875 sq.ft arranged over four floors boasting good room proportions and ceiling height typical to the era. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, three reception rooms and shower room. Both the living room and dining room have traditional fireplaces whilst the dining room also features a spectacular corniced ceiling with decorative gold flowers. The kitchen is located on the lower ground floor and is arranged across two rooms; a breakfast/family room with a 4-comparment gas Aga, and a further kitchen with a range of fitted appliances including a dishwasher, washing machine, two fridges, gas hob and oven. Also on the lower ground floor there is an inner lobby with side access which leads to a utility room and three versatile store rooms, two of which were previously used as a recording studio, offering excellent scope to create a home office. The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the first and second floors comprising six bedrooms. The family bathroom is located on the first floor and has a roll-top bath while both the top floors bedrooms benefit from en-suite shower rooms. In addition, the top floor has been designed to be a self-contained suite with a spacious landing fitted as a kitchenette/living area, perfect for teenagers, a live-in nanny, or guests.

Lewiston House sits within a mature large plot of gently sloping gardens. The front is screened by high hedging creating a good degree of privacy and has an off-road parking area for numerous vehicles at the side. The gardens are laid predominately to lawn with well-established trees throughout including productive fruit trees and a grape vine. Within the garden there is a large timber store shed.
