Description
The spacious and bright handmade country kitchen is the hub of the home and overlooks the garden and entertaining terraces. It features luxurious Calacatta marble tops, underfloor heating and warm wooden floors. There is also a comfortable sitting area with wood burner and fender seat and then up a few steps to an elegant breakfast room with vaulted ceiling and striking glass arched doors to the southern terrace. Like everything in the house, the kitchen design displays a careful attention to detail including bespoke shutters and sliding mesh inserts to allow air flow without bugs. There is a utility space off the kitchen and down some steps, a cloakroom and separate utility space which doubles as a washing room, wine store and pantry. The rear entrance door leads straight into a boot room, perfect for dogs and wellies and then along a glazed walkway to the wood panelled study, currently used as a snug. It's full of character and has a window seat with views down to the river. The principal reception room is aptly named 'the Long Room' as it runs the depth of the house in the north wing with a triple aspect and fabulous views. This impressive entertaining space is where the current owners host formal dinners and parties. There is another stone fireplace as well as French doors leading out to a garden terrace.
Up the graceful, curved staircase from the entrance hall, there is a mid level, on which the current owners' study/sitting room is located to enjoy the wonderful views. This room's position, original features and unusual decor really need to be seen to be appreciated. There is a 'Juliet' balcony and a secret cocktail bar. The fine oak floor boards add to the sense of elegance. The principal bedroom suite enjoys the same spectacular south and westerly views. Occupying its own portion of the first floor, the suite includes 'his and her's' dressing areas, a spacious bathroom and a stunning feature wall in the bedroom as well as another 'Juliet' balcony. Along the corridor, there are a further two immaculate, ensuite double guest bedrooms. The children's zone is currently located on the second floor and configured as two bedrooms with a play room and family bathroom plus a separate nanny suite with its own smaller staircase.
The attractive landscaped gardens wrap around the principal house and are completely private. They consist of a variety of stone terraces and entertaining spaces facing south and west with several lawns, topiary plants and trees. There is an orchard and productive vegetable garden. The land sitting below the main house also includes a small woodland and has its own river frontage onto the River Dikler, with wild trout. The property enjoys riparian rights.
