History
In 1993 the present owners set up the Bishopsland Workshops. Converting two of the outbuildings, they designed and ran a highly regarded one-year residential silversmithing course, providing silversmiths and jewellers with design, technical and commercial experience. Since its inception, more than 270 students have taken advantage of the scheme.

In 2023 Oliver and Penelope Makower/the present owners were awarded a lifetime achievement award, in recognition of their considerable contribution to the art of silversmithing, by Goldsmiths' Craft and Design Council.

Description

The house dates to the 16th century with later additions. It is thought that the timber framed barn, now the old stable workshop, predates the house bearing the date 1576. Totalling just under 12,900 sq ft Bishopsland presents myriad opportunities. The creation of a beautiful family home from this Elizabethan farmhouse/house, and/or the scope for a commercial development.

The tall, typically Tudor, chimneys tower over the roofline with red brick walls, mellowed by centuries, providing the bones for a wonderfully characterful family home. Elizabethan oak panelling, ancient beams, oak and quarry tiled floors, a huge fireplace to the drawing room and a beautiful galleried landing all still feature.

The reception hall opens to the dual aspect drawing room with its large square bay window, fireplace and ancient oak panelled wall. The study is directly off. The dining room connects to the reception hall and to the kitchen and overlooks the pretty gardens. An inner corridor leads down to the rear hall where it opens to the main and secondary kitchens as well as to a covered porch outside, making for a pleasing flow to the ground floor rooms. Off the corridor is a walk in pantry and a bathroom. The large cellar is accessed from the reception hall.

The main staircase from the reception hall rises to a lovely galleried landing, with exposed beams and far reaching views to the front and rear of the house. The principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom. There are four further bedrooms (one with a cloakroom) and two further bathrooms to this floor. A second staircase drops from the end of the landing to the rear hall by the kitchens.

To the second floor is a sixth bedroom with a shower and a self-contained flat with two bedrooms, sitting room, kitchen and bathroom.

The Stables, provides 1,890 sq ft of space over three floors.
