A distinguished former coach house reimagined for modern multi-generational living

Description

The Coach House is an exceptional country residence, set within approximately two acres of grounds and extending to around 9,963 sq ft of beautifully appointed accommodation. Originally constructed circa 1856 as the coach house to the neighbouring estate, the property has been thoughtfully remodelled and extensively enhanced by the current owners to create a home of rare quality, ideally suited to multi-generational living.

Blending period character with contemporary luxury, the house incorporates a number of unique features including concealed doors, dimmable LED lighting, a bespoke cinema room, CCTV, Starlink connectivity and EV charging points. Recent works include replacement windows, new carpets, Amtico herringbone flooring and the addition of two timber canopies, lending further charm to the façade.

A striking arched entrance leads into a grand reception hall, centred beneath an impressive roof lantern and a bifurcated staircase. Either side sit two well-proportioned home offices, providing versatility for modern working arrangements.

The south wing is arranged around a superb kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with an extensive range of bespoke cabinetry and integrated appliances. Bi-folding doors open directly to the private courtyard, creating an effortless flow for al fresco dining and entertaining. Subtle gold accents and plinth lighting add refinement to the finish. Adjoining is a practical boot room and cloakroom, linking to a gymnasium within the garage and a well-equipped workshop.

The reception spaces are elegant yet flexible, comprising a large sitting room with wood-burning stove and ample space for dining, flanked by two cosy snugs. One enjoys double arched windows, while the other has its own independent entrance and staircase rising to a bedroom suite.

To the north side, the property reveals a series of lifestyle amenities, including a magnificent games room with fitted bar, recessed ceiling and fireplace. A state-of-the-art cinema room, with star-effect lighting and full surround sound, lies alongside a staircase to another bedroom suite. Further service areas include a laundry and utility room.

Upstairs, the bedroom accommodation offers excellent privacy. The generous principal suite is complimented by a walk-in dressing room, concealed storage and a large en suite. A second bedroom also benefits from an en suite and fitted wardrobes, whilst a sumptuous dressing room, with en suite, could readily serve as a further bedroom.

An independent annexe provides excellent guest or family accommodation, comprising a kitchen/sitting room, shower room and bedroom above. This overlooks the courtyard, where a terraced patio, timber pergola and hot tub create a sheltered retreat.

The landscaped grounds are a particular feature, with sweeping lawns, mature trees and a woodland walk leading to a Scandinavian-style garden room. Approached via a private driveway, the property offers ample parking for several vehicles.
