The Property

The property benefits from 4/5 reception rooms and a large studio, a kitchen to the south of the property and a master suite with loft room in addition to two further bedrooms and a wet room off the main landing. A separate staircase gives access to a self contained staff flat. To the side of the house and at a lower level there is a swimming pool changing area, plant rooms and workshop.

Outside
The property is approached over a long driveway from the lane ensuring privacy. In front of the house there is a large parking area with garaging and stabling. Directly to the rear of the house there is a swimming pool (disused), while to the far side (east) there is a disused tennis court. Beyond the tennis court there is an area of mixed woodland filled with bluebells. The land benefits from views to the south over open farmland. To the north of the house there is a gently sloping paddock with stable block complete with power and water. Beyond the paddock there is an area of woodland filled with wildlife and providing further views over the surrounding open countryside.
