Greenway House is an impressive country residence with south facing views overlooking extensive gardens.

Description

Dating from the 1930's Greenway House is a substantial country house with south facing views overlooking extensive gardens. The property is constructed principally of brick with rendered elevations under a hipped roof. It has been much improved and enlarged over the years to provide exceptionally light and spacious accommodation of over 8,000 sq ft. A portico on the south front forms the main entrance.

The property is entered via an impressive entrance hall, with a wood burning stove and curved oak staircase to first floor. Leading off the hall are the sitting room, snug, study and dining room. The bespoke Aga kitchen/breakfast room lies to the rear of the hall with a large island, fitted appliances and a range of base and wall mounted units with granite work tops. There is a secondary staircase and double doors out on to the terrace from the kitchen with the utility room off to one side.

The annex is reached via a linked passage at the rear of the property accessed from the dining room. The downstairs space is currently used as an impressive cinema room. Next to the cinema is a cloakroom, kitchen and first floor games room which extends to 37 ft in length. The annex has potential for multi purpose uses such as secondary accommodation/office space.

Above the principal reception rooms of the main house, with access via two separate stairs, lie the principal bedroom suite which benefits from fitted wardrobes and a stylish en suite. There are a further four bedrooms, three en suites, a family bathroom and a separate WC.

Outside
Double, electric gates give access over a sweeping driveway which leads to the front door. The beautifully landscaped gardens are surrounded by mature trees and hedging providing a high degree of privacy and seclusion. At the far end of the drive, next to the house, sits an oak frame cart lodge with bays for three vehicles and beside it lies the tennis court. An entertainment pavilion has been built alongside the cart lodge and is fitted with an integrated entertainment system, ambient lighting, a wide terrace and has a kitchen area —ideal for relaxing or entertaining.

The property features beautifully landscaped lawns and beds that extend from the house towards a tranquil pond, complete with a wooden bridge and a delightful summer house.

A separate drive branches to the right from the main entrance gates, running alongside the lawns and providing access to additional garaging/workshop space, a stable block, and useful storage units.
