Heritage
Believed to date back to the 17th Century, this period gem benefits from a plethora of period features including mullion windows, open fires and wooden beams. The grounds were originally laid out in the 1920’s by the eminent ‘Arts and Crafts’ architect Norman Jewson, who also extended and renovated the house during this period.

Outside

This private paradise captures every season and mood. From long framed views to luscious lawns and well planned and maintained foliage, the grounds are a triumph.
Originally planned and laid out by Norman Jewson in the 1920’s, the current owner wanted to recapture some of the original feel of the grounds. With guidance from Italian garden designer Lorenzo Volini, they have created a wonderful mix of formal gardens with year-round interest, large outdoor entertaining spaces, and long open views whilst retaining complete privacy. The shape of the house has lent itself to excellent indoor/outdoor access and the formal outdoor dining area has an enclosed feel with the house as a stunning backdrop.
The land continues, predominantly to the south of the house, over the formal gardens and onto the level meadows and pasture beyond. This is largely fenced paddocks with some mature woodland and post and rail fields. There is a recently finished wild swimming lake, for those intrepid swimmers as well as an indoor heated swimming pool (with air conditioning) and sauna, for more leisurely swims.
There are a range of outbuildings, providing five stables, tack room and large store room as well as more recently constructed garaging with four car garages and up and over doors
In all 57.5 acres with stunning gardens, stabling, outbuildings and garaging.
