This beautiful country house dates originally from the late 17th century, with
later additions. Rightly listed Grade II*, the house is of great architectural
merit and shows a fascinating mix of styles. The main front is Regency, dating
from c. 1824, with elegant sash windows and a curved porch having a Venetian
bow window above. The Regency part of the house has typically elegant rooms
with excellent ceiling heights and fine plaster cornices. The drawing room and
dining room are on either side of the hall which has a beautiful cantilevered
staircase. In addition to good entertaining space, Atcombe Court has well -
balanced family living space with a separate sitting room, a study and a well -
equipped kitchen/breakfast room. The main house has seven/eight bedrooms and
four bathrooms, spread over the first and second floors. A self - contained
three bedroom wing is ideal for guests or family, or to generate letting
income.

Atcombe Court is approached via a long driveway leading up
past the ponds to the south east façade. To the rear of the house are various
period outbuildings. These include extensive garaging and other outhouses. A
pretty Grade II listed detached stone building, known as The School House,
provides a large home office on the ground floor with a useful apartment on
the first and second floors. The house sits within lovely mature gardens and
grounds. The south west façade is covered with a large wisteria and beyond is
a large lawn with mixed borders. The vegetable garden includes a 30’
productive asparagus border and two period greenhouses. To the north east is a
well - maintained hard tennis court. To the rear of the house are two grass
paddocks, edged by mature woodland and to the side of the driveway are two
large ponds.
