2 BROADLANDS A mellow fine and substantial country house constructed circa1926 in Cotswold stone under a heavy handcrafted Welsh slated roof set in extensive formal gardens and mature grounds bordering to open countryside with delightful open aspects. Broadlands really is a gem of a house and internal inspection will reveal a house of beautiful proportions rich in character, the like of which is rarely offered for sale on the open market; without question, one of the most endearing houses we have seen in recent years, amongst the finest houses we have offered for sale in recent times and arguably one of the most outstanding in this part of the county. HISTORIC NOTE When the house was originally constructed circa 1926, it was featured in County Life having been originally designed by a Mr Cyril S W Haseldine for Mr Gustav Reddan who wished to replicate the architecture of the typical Cotswold house, and it is understood that the construction stone originated from a quarry overlooking Broadway in Chipping Camden. Over the years, the house has been improved with a sympathetic regard for it s original character and quality and the new owners will become custodians of a unique house with a charm and appeal all of it s own. Particular reference is made to the calibre of the internal joinery and the magnificent oak staircase and handcrafted oak doors throughout. The original stone mullioned windows remain and the casements have been replaced by the present owners with high grade sealed unit double glazed leaded replacements by Messrs Vale Garden Rooms of Grantham. PRICE GUIDE 895,000
