Description

Set in an idyllic spot nestled in beautiful rolling countryside, the property is
approached along a private driveway set behind tall iron gates. With delightful
woodland walks, manicured lawns and fabulous views, the property enjoys a high
degree of privacy. Designed with a gentle nod to the Arts & Crafts style with
exquisite detailing, this is a handsome home with accommodation approaching
9,000 sq ft including the superb leisure complex.

This is an impressive and welcoming home featuring flexible accommodation
arranged over two floors. Perfect to suit a variety of family dynamics whether a
growing family seeking a forever home or for those who are looking for
accommodation to suit multi-generational living.

Double doors open into a lengthy and bright entrance hall which spans the front
of the building leading to the two wings of the house and makes for a fine warm
welcome for guests and family. Overlooking a pretty courtyard there is a most
impressive vaulted grand hall which measures over 34 feet and provides a
stunning backdrop for elegant entertaining on a majestic scale. An inner hallway
opens onto a bright and airy drawing room with a fabulous feature fireplace; an
ideal venue for cosy winter gatherings or relaxed family get togethers.
Set quietly away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the house is a
generous sized gentleman’s club style study with a wall of fitted library
shelves and tall windows providing a bright and cheery working environment.
There is a charming country kitchen with a comprehensive range of cabinets
arranged around an island unit. Adjacent the breakfast room has a four oven Aga
which is complemented by independent cooking facilities for the summertime in
the kitchen. Leading from the kitchen is one of the two utility rooms which
features a useful walk-in larder. Easy stepped access leads down to the cellar
which has ample storage for the largest of wine collections.
The games room, which is currently used as a snooker room, is a
well-proportioned room which could be put to alternative uses to suit one’s own
needs. With doors leading into the grand hall this adds to the superb
entertaining space this home has to offer.

At the rear of the property is a ground floor bedroom suite with sitting area
and dressing room with separate bathroom. This could be used for a privately
situated guest suite or simply a teenager’s den with space to have friends stay
over.

First Floor
On the first floor there are four bedroom suites with an additional guest
bedroom with a range of fitted cupboards.
The principal bedroom suite is an indulgent space with windows on three sides
and has the benefit of two separate en-suites, each with their own dressing
areas. There is a further bedroom suite with its own sitting room and bathroom
which has independent access from the breakfast room via a spiral staircase.
Overlooking the grand hall from an internal balcony is another suite which has a
dressing room and vaulted ceiling with roof lights making for a bright and airy
haven.

Gardens, Land and outbuildings

Leisure complex
This superbly appointed space consists of an indoor heated pool which has two
sets of steps and a Jacuzzi, steam room/shower and a separate sauna. French
doors lead out to the gardens making this an ideal setting for a summer party.
The landscaped gardens and grounds are a striking feature to the property and
include a small mature woodland which provides a perfect play area for a game of
hide and seek. There are rolling lawns and several seating areas including a
substantial sheltered gated courtyard which is bordered by the grand hall. With
a pair of verandahs this makes for a perfect place to host casual suppers and
summer lunches.

There is a fenced paddock set to the south of the gardens with a useful gated
access onto Pickford Road, ideal for bringing in agricultural machinery and
horse boxes. There is also a manege with lapsed planning permission to convert
into a tennis court.
Set slightly further afield meadowland meanders from the gardens towards the
east down to a lightly wooded copse in a shallow valley.

Services
Mains electricity and water. Oil fired central heating and private drainage
system.

Easements, Wayleaves and Rights of Way
The property is offered for sale subject to any public or private rights of way
and all easements and wayleaves, referred to in these particulars or not.
