The Coach House – A Unique Blend of History and Modern Living
Step back in time with The Coach House, a beautifully restored residence that is steeped in history and located on the historic Lunsford Hall Estate. Originally part of a grand Manor House and farm built just prior to 1840, The Coach House shares its heritage with the adjoining Housekeeper’s Cottage and stands as a testament to the charm and character of its era.
Historic Charm Meets Modern Comfort:
The Coach House, which first appeared on the 1870 Ordnance Survey map, once served as a vital part of the estate’s operations. Its ground floor originally housed a coach house, stables, and even a pigsty, while the first floor functioned as a laundry complete with copper boilers, ironing room, and hay loft. Over the years, it has been sensitively converted into a comfortable, character-filled family home.
Accommodation Highlights:
The property underwent significant restoration in the late 1990s, transforming it into a stunning residence with modern conveniences while retaining its original character. Key features include:
A split-level two-storey extension, completed in 2002, which incorporates a wine cellar and additional living space.
Oak-framed garden rooms and veranda, added in 2020, perfect for enjoying the tranquil garden setting and evening sun.
An air source heat pump, installed in 2020, providing an efficient and eco-friendly heating solution for the extensions and hot water.
Gardens and Grounds:
Set within beautifully landscaped gardens, The Coach House offers a sense of privacy and serenity. The West garden, which was extended significantly in 2011, has been terraced and includes:
A charming shed for garden equipment.
Mature trees, including two apple trees planted as part of the original estate.
A covered veranda, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining.
A Rich History
The property has witnessed significant historical changes, from its connection to Lunsford Hall during the 19th century to its survival of the 1987 hurricane. Over the decades, it has evolved from its utilitarian beginnings into a warm and inviting family home.
Prime Location
The Coach House is located within a sought-after area, offering a unique opportunity to own a piece of history while enjoying all the conveniences of modern living. The property is well-connected, with easy access to local amenities, nearby villages, and transport links, including the M20 motorway.
