{"primary_description": "A rare opportunity to acquire a nearly 5-acre estate in the heart of historic Hurley, including an existing outbuilding with development potential, subject to the necessary planning consents. Positioned approximately 100 metres from the High Street, the property enjoys remarkable seclusion within its own private gated grounds, with panoramic views over the gardens, grounds and hills beyond.

Extending to approximately 6,000 sq ft, The Retreat is an elegant colonial-style home offering bright and spacious accommodation of excellent proportion. It combines privacy, scale and versatility in an exceptional village setting, with scope for further enhancement including the addition of a conservatory, swimming pool or tennis court.

Accommodation - Approached via a private gateway and a gravel driveway of approximately 200 metres, the house sits within mature grounds that include a wildlife pond, expansive lawned areas and a substantial connected ground-floor annexe.

Inside, the property is filled with natural light, with high ceilings, solid oak parquet flooring throughout the ground floor, and an abundance of windows and doors overlooking the grounds. The house offers a versatile range of reception and family spaces, including formal and informal living areas, dining space, an office and gym, all making the most of the setting and views.

The kitchen is arranged around bespoke solid oak cabinetry and a central island, with adjoining dining and family spaces creating an easy flow through the house.
