The house occupies a superb elevated position on Blackdown boasting astonishing southerly views over its own land and beyond over the countryside of Surrey and West Sussex

The house flows beautifully and offers a series of well-proportioned reception rooms with impressive ceiling heights. Of particular note are the spacious drawing room, elegant dining room and pool room. The open plan kitchen/breakfast room includes white granite surfaces, an AGA and partially vaulted breakfast area, with floor to ceiling Crittall door windows which accentuate the views even further.

The first and second floors offer spacious and well designed bedroom accommodation, including a superb principal bedroom suite, an additional bedroom suite, six further bedrooms and six bathrooms.

The property has a number of substantial outbuildings to the west of the house, one of which ‘The Annexe’ has been converted to a two-bedroom self-contained annexe, ideal for staff and guest accommodation. Other outbuildings include two garages, a workshop, a large storage room, a further large barn and storage space, a gym & yoga/dance studio and a large home office. Overlooking the pool is a wonderful pool house with kitchen area, home cinema and outdoor dining terrace.
