EXTERNAL
Stainton Cotes occupies an exceptional rural position, reached via a discreet 1½-mile track which opens into a formal tarmac drive with electric gates. A stone-paved driveway leads to ample parking beside the main entrance. A secondary gated entrance provides additional access to the east side. A newly constructed detached garage (62'0" x 26'6") offers extensive secure parking, together with an adjoining potting shed and workshop. A further agricultural building sits unobtrusively within the grounds. The formal gardens are a standout feature — sweeping lawns with remarkable open views across parkland-style countryside, framed by mature woodland to the north and east. Beyond the gardens, several paddocks provide excellent space for equestrian or livestock use. In total, the property extends to approximately 7.22 acres.

PROPOSED EXTENSION AND REFURBISHMENT
Planning permission has been granted for an impressive leisure wing, designed to link to the main house via a contemporary glazed walkway. The approved plans provide for a substantial extension incorporating a swimming pool, dedicated hot tub area with changing facilities, a gym, a new games room and a cinema room. The scheme also includes alterations to the existing layout: the dining room and drawing room are to be opened up to create a large family living kitchen, the current kitchen repurposed as a lounge, the sitting room redesigned as a snug, and the games room reconfigured as a dining room. The first-floor layout is to remain unchanged. Full details can be found on the proposed floor plans. Initial groundworks have started to the north side of the property; however, construction has paused to allow future buyers the opportunity to adapt the design to suit their own preferences, subject to the necessary consents.

SERVICES
The property is connected to mains electricity and benefits from a private septic tank for drainage, along with its own borehole water supply. Heating is provided via an oil-fired system, complemented by underfloor heating in selected areas. Fibre broadband is available, delivering download speeds of around 100 Mbps.
