Description
This 19th-century timber and red brick building has been extended and meticulously renovated over the years, preserving its original character while incorporating state-of-the-art amenities. Its unique design and architectural significance have earned it national recognition, including features in The History of Britain in 100 Homes.
This extraordinary home offers an impressive 6,800 sq ft of living space, including underfloor heating, an integrated SONOS sound system, and Cat 5 cabling for home office convenience. Families will be captivated by the grand scale, while the extensive garden and outdoor areas offer a private haven for relaxation and entertainment.
The private, gated driveway leads to a triple garage, ensuring ample parking for residents and guests alike. The plot extends to a generous 0.7 acres, featuring lush lawns, enchanting watercourses, and a fabulous outdoor terrace designed for luxurious alfresco dining.
Accommodation
The modern country aesthetic of this grand home perfectly complements the original timber elements. High ceilings, vast open spaces, and impeccable craftsmanship provide a sense of opulence and grandeur throughout.
Ground Floor
Upon entering the home, a striking industrial-style staircase takes you down to the heart of the ground floor. This leads to a stunning open-plan family living space, featuring a contemporary kitchen, dining area, and snug. The dark ceramic tiled floors, exposed beams, and red brick accents harmonize with the neutral palette, while floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light.
Sun Room
The south-facing sunroom boasts vaulted ceilings, exposed trussed beams, and panoramic garden views through floor-to-ceiling glazing. This elegant room offers a casual yet sophisticated seating area, with a focal-point log burner and stainless-steel flue, perfect for cozying up on cool evenings.
Kitchen
At the heart of this home lies a Steven Christopher designed kitchen, exuding luxury with Rempp cabinetry, Dekton surfaces, and a stunning chef’s island. Equipped with Siemens appliances and a separate AGA, the space was refitted in 2021 and offers both beauty and functionality, complemented by an industrial lighting scheme.
Bedrooms
The ground floor offers two beautifully appointed double bedrooms, each benefitting from its own en-suite or nearby facilities, including a generously sized shower room. One room also boasts access to extensive cellar storage.
First Floor
An imposing vaulted-ceiling sitting room commands attention with its wood paneling, exposed beams, and grand open fireplace. Triple-aspect views over the streams and gardens create a serene atmosphere.
The principal bedroom, an elegant retreat, features French doors leading to an exquisite en-suite with a freestanding bath and built-in storage.
Second Floor
The top floor hosts three additional double bedrooms, nestled under original beams, all sharing a luxurious three-piece shower room.

Outside
The exterior of this property is just as remarkable. A gated, granite-chipped driveway leads to a Mediterranean-style terrace complete with towering palm trees, a bar, and an open fireplace – perfect for lavish entertaining. The terrace's pergola, draped with grapevines, adds a sense of European elegance.
The gardens, which back onto open farmland, are bordered by tranquil streams, creating a peaceful and private sanctuary. A summer house at the far end provides a picturesque spot to take in the stunning views.
