Ayot St. Peter

Listed Grade II of being of architectural and historic importance, Ayot Bury is a handsome early 18th century family home constructed of mellow red brick under a pitched clay tile and slate roof. The central façade has a perfect symmetry with later 19th century additions to the west and east. Internally the house combines elegant light and spacious reception rooms with comfortable bedroom accommodation on the first and second floors. Of particular note is the magnificent ballroom measuring 42ft x 28ft and centred on a beautifully carved marble fireplace. Equally majestic is the drawing room with hand painted silk panels, a hardwood floor and fine views through the mullioned windows to the parkland beyond.

Ayot Bury has been carefully restored over recent years with enormous attention to detail. In addition to new heating and electrical systems a sympathetic programme of redecoration has been undertaken throughout the house; the kitchen is hand built and finished in a soft white under black granite worktops with access to the family room, second kitchen and walk-in larder.

On the first floor are five substantial principal bedrooms each with en suite facilities whilst on the second floor there are three additional bedrooms and a treatment room. Accessed through the house or independently is the annexe cottage; a very comfortable, self contained house ideal for a dependent relative or staff.

This property has 41.67 acres of land.
