Sitting proudly on the best road, boasting exceptional curb appeal from its elevated position, its circa one-acre plot is private, south facing with beautifully manicured gardens.

Internally the property spans just shy of 10,000 sq ft, over 4 floors with potential to expand further.

The leisure suite is a very tranquil space with a swimming pool, jacuzzi, gym and sauna.

The entertaining space is vast and versatile with a large games/cinema room and bar, not to mention a unique wine room with seating space.

Windy Howe is architecturally notable as an Arts & Crafts style residence, built in 1903 by architect F. W. Mee, using characteristic features such as clay tiled gables, roughcast rendered walls, and stone window surrounds, and details.

It is a striking property recognised for both its historic charm and modern features, it ranks among the village's most notable properties.

Set in an elevated position, the property is accessed via stone gate pilars and electric gates, with a sweeping driveway and turning circle leading to a quadruple garage.
Surrounded by mature trees for complete privacy, the grounds include an expansive lawn, a south-facing stone terrace accessed from the kitchen, dining room and games room.

To the rear of the property, a tennis court which is currently used as a football pitch, has planning permission to transform it into a paddle tennis court. This space could just as well be utilised as a further private rear garden that simply adds to the already impressive grounds.

The sweeping drive also leads you to the rear of the property where there is additional parking for at least 5 vehicles and a rather grand back entrance and additional door into the utility and family entertaining room.
