Having extensive frontage, originally constructed in the 17th century with a later Georgian façade, this six bedroom Grade II listed country home represents a superb opportunity. Set within it’s own grounds, close to all facilities. A Georgian pediment porch on Doric columns creates an impressive entrance on carriage driveway with secondary gated entrance to coach house and formal gardens. L-shaped entrance hall provides access to principal reception rooms, staircase to first floor and stairs to wine cellar. The double aspect drawing room has views to the front, extending to backwaters in the distance and walled garden to the rear. Opposite this room is a formal dining room with a recessed Minster-type fireplace and exposed beams. Gently rising dogleg staircase to first floor.
The kitchen, which connects to the Victorian rear wing, is fitted with a comprehensive Smallbone kitchen set under Corian work surfaces, having an Aga cooker positioned within range fireplace. The kitchen opens onto a breakfast room and rear service lobby containing storage room, utility room and saddlery, together with WC and door to internal courtyard. To the rear of the kitchen is the rose garden with a patio suitable for a conservatory addition, subject to consent.
The first floor comprises a large master bedroom with feature bay window overlooking the walled gardens and door to dressing room fitted with a range of units. Five further bedrooms are located on the first floor, four being doubles. There are two well fitted family bathrooms
Grounds extend to approximately seven acres and comprises a formal walled garden, sweeping lawns, a small lake, a part walled swimming pool garden, woodland and paddocks containing an American barn with 10 stables and also secondary field shelters. To the front of the house is a substantial frontage, having two gated entrances with principal gravel drives to each. The property is well secluded by mature hedging. Immediately to the rear of the house is the private walled garden, maturely planted, laid to lawn with a feature rose garden and box hedge parterre.
The second drive leads directly to the Victorian coach house and garaging which has a hay loft at first floor level and a substantial brick built dairy parlour immediately to the rear. Whilst providing superb storage facilities, this could, subject to relevant consent, be converted to a fantastic annexe facility / separate home. The remainder of ground comprises well maintained paddocks with a post and fence.
