Description
Beyond the drawing room is a well-appointed dining room with parquet floor and a circular wine cellar with a glass electronic trap door lid. From this room is the beautifully presented kitchen/breakfast room with top quality Poggenpohl units with Gaggenau appliances, parquet flooring and a breakfast area to one end.
Over the first floor, approached off the great hall/drawing room, are five bedrooms with five bathrooms/shower rooms all offered in immaculate condition with the majority having open southerly views over the beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds.
The brick-built garage has been replaced by a stylish 1,030 sq ft cottage comprising of a kitchen, sitting/dining room and cloakroom downstairs with a large double bedroom and shower room upstairs. In addition, and across this quiet lane, are the paddocks and pasture, machinery stores and a brick-built three stall stable block.
These have been meticulously created to the highest degree and hugely compliment the property. There is a large south-facing terrace running along the entire rear of the property which in turn leads on to the beautifully manicured lawns and herbaceous borders which lead you down to the lake, tennis court and woodlands walks beyond. These majestic gardens and grounds offer privacy and solitude, and one feels very close to nature.
Within the village of Highclere is the parish church of St Michael and All Angels, a flourishing village hall, private junior prep school, Thorngrove and The Red House pub.
