ACCOMMODATION
The house offers expansive and versatile accommodation, perfectly suited to modern family living, entertaining, and multi-generational use. A welcoming entrance hall leads to a series of impressive reception rooms, including a formal drawing room with a feature fireplace and French doors opening onto the gardens; an elegant dining room with French doors leading to a generous paved terrace, perfect for al fresco dining and enjoying the tranquil surroundings; and a well-appointed library, which opens via French doors into a delightful morning room.

At the heart of the home lies a remarkable open-plan living space incorporating a family room, dining area and kitchen, thoughtfully arranged around a striking central feature wall with a double-sided fireplace, creating both a visual focal point and a sense of cohesion throughout. French doors from the dining area lead into a bright conservatory, which in turn opens directly into an exceptional indoor leisure complex. This includes a swimming pool, Jacuzzi and dedicated changing facilities with two shower rooms, creating a private and luxurious environment for relaxation and entertaining.

The kitchen is complemented by a separate utility room, which provides access to the integral triple garage and to an upper-level self-contained one-bedroom apartment, offering ideal accommodation for staff, guests or independent living.

Upstairs, a spacious landing, enhanced by a striking cupola that draws in natural light, creates an inviting additional sitting area and leads to six generous double bedrooms. Four of the bedrooms benefit from en-suite facilities, alongside a further family bathroom. The proportions throughout the house are impressive, with large rooms, excellent natural light and a carefully considered layout.

Externally, the beautifully landscaped grounds provide a superb and peaceful setting, surrounded by mature woodland and offering a high degree of privacy. The gardens are well established, with sweeping lawns and a variety of features including a tennis court, orchard, large greenhouse, summer house, vegetable garden and multiple useful outbuildings. A charming island feature forms a focal point within the grounds, accessed via a bridge and complemented by a timber gazebo - an idyllic spot for relaxation. The property also benefits from being ready for electric gate installation, offering added convenience and security potential.

Sustainability and efficiency have been carefully considered, with features including underfloor heating, an oil-fired boiler, air source heat pump for the pool, and solar photovoltaic panels with the benefit of the original Feed-in Tariff agreement. Traditional sash and case double-glazed astragal windows complete the overall specification, reinforcing the quality and attention to detail
throughout.
