Description
Description
Pembroke House is a magnificent property which the current owners have upgraded to create a most stylish family home with every thought given to satisfy modern day living requirements.
Constructed in 1996, it has the advantage of well-proportioned generous accommodation.
Approached via electric wrought iron gates, there is a sweeping driveway leading to an impressive turning circle with water feature, ample parking and flanked by formal gardens with attractive topiary on each side. The interior is elegant and stylish throughout, with natural light cascading in, enhanced by a neutral colour palette and complemented by wood and tiled floors. The rooms are generous with high ceilings and large windows, the latter framing beautiful views of the gardens from all aspects. Most of the reception rooms are dual aspect, with each vantage point having a different view onto the spectacular outside spaces.
Pembroke House is a seven bedroom home arranged over three floors, the accommodation extends to over 5200 sq ft (over 8,700 sq ft including outbuildings), affording ample space for both entertaining and relaxing as a family. A spacious and light entrance hall with feature staircase leads to the principal reception rooms, namely the drawing room, dining room, family room and dedicated office space. The kitchen is a stunning room with stylish cabinetry and integrated appliances, including an AGA range cooker. An open plan breakfast area opens onto the garden and provides access to the nearby pool house. There is also a laundry room, cloakroom and two WCs on the ground floor.
The first floor accommodation is equally as light-filled and spacious as the living areas, with all of the five bedrooms being of generous size, with en suite bathrooms or shower rooms. The south-east facing bedrooms at the rear of the house have French windows with Juliet balconies. The impressive principal bedroom is worthy of particular note, featuring a range of fitted wardrobes, a large beautifully appointed en suite bathroom with shower and with the most stunning views over the gardens and surrounding countryside. The remaining two bedrooms on the second floor are served by the family bathroom.
Above the garage there is a first floor space, currently fitted as a gym, with an adjoining shower room, which could potentially provide an excellent annexe (subject to obtaining the necessary consents). There are also two spiral wine cellars built into the garage floor each 3 metres deep.
There are a number of premium additions throughout the home, including Fibre Broadband (FTTP), Managed WIFI Solution internally and externally and integrated sound system, IP CCTV and a monitored digital security system.
Outbuildings
Accessed from the driveway is a triple garage with a sizeable room over with adjoining shower room. This is currently fitted as a gym but offers potential to create an annexe (subject to the necessary consents).
The pool house is detached and set between the house and the tennis court, with ample space around the pool for relaxing on loungers. The pool house encompasses a swimming pool, shower and changing facilities and with doors which open on a hot day.
The tennis court is discreetly located to the rear of the pool house and has an attractive wooden pavilion.
To the rear of the formal garden sits a detached five bay oak barn with workshop with a large parking area in front of it and separate vehicular access for garden machinery.
Outside
The beautifully tended and landscaped grounds are quite exceptional and extend to approximately 13.8 acres, encompassing around five acres of gardens and around nine acres of woodland.
The gardens to the front have formal sweeping lawns, established flower borders and a wide variety of shrubs and trees offering texture and colour.
To the rear is a large terraced area, featuring striking Italian porcelain, with numerous seating/dining areas and an elevated outside kitchen area, exquisitely situated under mature tree cover. Centrally located, there are gracious steps down to a further area of expansive lawn. A detached 5 bay oak barn serves as garaging or storage space for garden machinery with a workshop. There is a generous additional parking area as well as double gates offering separate vehicular access. At the base of the garden, beyond mature hedging and a 5-bar gate, is a most attractive established orchard boasting a variety of fruit trees, a productive kitchen garden and chicken pens.
To the south-west side of the property is a wonderful area of woodland which has been managed and coppiced to provide clearings and various areas of interest including an adventure playground. There is also an elevated seating area and a further large rustic circle/seating area, perfect for sitting around the firepit. A zip wire offers hours of fun.
There is a further brick built wood store to the front of the house, and the ground also benefits from an irrigation system alongside a large water tank.
