Coney Weston House is a superb village home, with an extensive range of outbuildings, set in the middle of approximately ten acres of mature parkland.
The house is a substantial, Grade II listed former farm - latterly the dower house to Coney Weston Hall.
The house dates from the early 17th Century with later additions over the centuries.
It is part timber-framed with attractive red brick and rendered exteriors and an elegant `gentrified’ Georgian reception.
There is also great family living space making it a fine home for childhood days.
There are many original period character features and it has been well maintained by the current owners, yet there is still scope for further updating.
The grounds and outbuildings are a particular feature, providing plenty of scope for private facilities - ideal for those with equestrian interests or perhaps a classic car collection.
There is also ample space for the creation of a home business or additional annexe accommodation, if needed.
The main house has an entrance hall, opening to the reception hall which has an impressive staircase with a split-level `pulpit’ landing.
There is a study and a double aspect drawing room has a deep bay window and an open fireplace with a decorative moulded fire surround and mantelpiece, moulded cornicing and wall light points.
The dining room is a double aspect room with three pairs of French windows leading to the terrace and garden, exposed and chamfered beams and an open fireplace with a moulded fire surround and mantelpiece with an inset cast-iron bird’s nest fire grate.

The sitting room has exposed timbers and studwork, with a shelved recess, and a superb hidden fireplace with blue and white Delft tiles and a fitted woodburning stove.
