Beyond this a series of beautifully proportioned Reception Rooms enjoy an abundance of natural light from the southerly aspect, together with delightful views across the private gardens.

The Study is dual aspect and bathed in natural light with a contemporary log burner providing a striking focal point, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Adjacent to this is the elegant Sitting Room with French doors that open directly onto the terrace, seamlessly connecting the interior with the lovely surrounding grounds. Undoubtedly one of the home's most impressive spaces is the vaulted Drawing Room, rich in character and impressive in scale, this wonderful space features exposed oak beams, a substantial Inglenook fireplace and a window seat perfectly positioned to enjoy the lovely outside view.

The Kitchen/Breakfast Room is modern and bright with a range of contemporary units, integrated appliances and a walk-in Pantry.

The property offers five generous bedrooms, providing excellent flexibility for a variety of living arrangements. Three bedrooms are situated within one wing of the house, all benefiting from fitted wardrobes. The Principal Suite is particularly impressive, featuring a luxurious En Suite Bathroom and a private dressing area accessed via an attractive spiral staircase. Occupying the opposite side of the property are two further bedrooms, one of which is currently arranged as a Playroom. This area lends itself perfectly to guest accommodation, independent family living or a potential annexe arrangement, making it especially well-suited to multi-generational households.

Set within approximately 3.25 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and paddocks, Bucks Head presents a rare lifestyle opportunity in a highly desirable semi-rural setting. Adjacent to Mannings Heath Golf Club and surrounded by picturesque countryside, this impressive country residence combines privacy, space, and an exceptional range of leisure and equestrian facilities. Accessed by two secure gated entrances, the property is approached by a sweeping driveway providing extensive parking. The grounds have been thoughtfully designed and wrap elegantly around the house, creating a private and tranquil environment. The heated swimming pool enjoys a secluded sunken position, complemented by a spacious paved terrace and charming Summer House, providing the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining. The enclosed tennis court is perfectly positioned and ideal for family time.

Equestrian buyers will be particularly impressed by the extensive facilities, including two sizeable paddocks, a stable block, tack room, and a range of useful outbuildings for feed and equipment storage.
