Set within around 1.6 acres of beautifully designed and landscaped gardens, is this stunningly extended and fully refurbished to an extremely high specification, four/five bedroom Grade II listed country house. The original part of the house dates back to the 15th century, whilst the impressive new addition adds a contemporary and luxurious feel bringing the square footage to about 4,500 over three floors. Access is gained via electric gates with ample parking on both driveways, the second access and driveway being at the rear.  Approaching the house you'll fall in love with this imposing family home, filled with original oak beams. The restoration and beautiful extension was designed and built by specialist craftsmen McCurdy and Co Ltd. Internally, Harrods Interior Designers have sourced gorgeous bespoke fittings, together with Lutron lighting systems and Creston sound system.

The front entrance door opens into a bright hallway. Making up the ground floor is a useful utility room, large office, family room/bedroom 5, two cloakrooms with one benefitting from a shower cubicle, plant room, generous Chalon hand crafted kitchen/breakfast room, with Gaggenau and Liebherr integrated appliances, a three oven LPG gas fired Aga, open fire and centre island. Completing the ground floor is a sitting room with inglenook fireplace and patio doors leading to the rear garden, and a cosy dining room that's perfect for those family get togethers. Climbing the oak staircase to the first floor you'll notice the wonderful feeling of natural sunlight pouring in to the long and wide landing. The extended part of the house upstairs offers a stunning guest bedroom suite with a shower room and decked balcony with pool view, where you can enjoy a morning coffee or evening glass of wine. The original part of the house upstairs gives two further bedrooms with pretty oak beams and an impressive master bedroom with vaulted ceiling and luxurious en-suite bathroom with copper free standing bath, separate shower, bespoke fitted cupboards and leather lined drawers. The large basement level offers potential for a gym and wine cellar (no longer arranged like this).
