A Substantial And Gracious Grade II Listed Country House

Luton House is a fine country property set at the heart of the rural village of Selling. Despite its significant stature, the house is remarkably discreet in its location, being tucked away within enchanting grounds. Owned by the same family for some 60 years, the house has the wonderful feel of a home that has been cherished and enjoyed, catering to needs of family living and entertaining. Now awaiting its next custodian, the house is blessed with some exceptional reception rooms, well-appointed bedrooms, ancillary accommodation and the other spaces so important to the day-to-day functioning of a country house.

The house is Grade II listed having evolved over the years, with Georgian and Victorian input on likely older origins. Although the property has worked beautifully in its current layout, there is also scope to update and remodel, subject to any necessary consents.

The front door opens to a generous hall which provides an elegant entrance to the centre of the house and the formal reception rooms. Either side sit a study/library and the drawing room, both of which are full of light having large, double aspect sash windows. The drawing room enjoys an easterly aspect across the garden, as do the sitting room and dining room, all of which benefit from grand proportions. There is also a further study.

The kitchen occupies the rear wing and is a practical space arranged around an Aga with plenty of room for a large table and bolstered by a generous laundry/boot room, utility and pantry.

As with the ground floor the primary bedrooms are arranged facing south and east, providing bright, pleasant spaces. The principal bedroom has a large bay window, a generous en suite shower room and an interconnecting door with bedroom 2. Bedrooms 3 and 4 are set either side of a further generous shower room. With three other bedrooms on the first floor, a further two on the second floor and four additional bath/shower rooms the facilities are well balanced.

A cellar provides useful storage space, together with wine cellarage and the boiler room. There is also an attic store.
