The Gables offers exceptionally spacious and versatile accommodation extending to an impressive 8000 sq ft, thoughtfully arranged to suit both family living and entertaining on a grand scale. Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by two substantial entrance halls, the second of which is so generously proportioned that it could easily serve as an additional reception room, setting the tone for the scale and flexibility found throughout the home.

The ground floor provides an excellent balance of formal and informal living spaces, including an elegant dining room, a well-proportioned drawing room, a dedicated office room, and a large kitchen/breakfast room designed as the heart of the home. Supporting areas include a utility room and cloakroom. A discreet internal door leads to a later addition, offering superb flexibility—this area can function as a fully self-contained annexe, complete with its own kitchen, bedroom, shower room, and sitting room, or alternatively be seamlessly incorporated into the main residence as an additional wing.

On the first floor, the principal suite enjoys a private position to the rear of the property, featuring double-aspect windows that frame attractive views over the garden. This suite is notably generous in size and is complemented by a spacious en suite bathroom. The remainder of this floor comprises of three further well-appointed bedrooms and three bathrooms, providing ample accommodation for family and guests alike.

The top floor presents a particularly versatile and characterful space, currently arranged as office space, a shower room, and a large central reception room. This level is ideal for those working from home, yet it could equally serve as a dedicated retreat for teenagers or younger family members, offering both independence and privacy.

Outside, electric gates open onto an expansive driveway, a highly desirable feature that provides parking for up to ten vehicles—an increasingly rare and valuable asset for a property of this kind. In addition, there is a double garage with a cloakroom below and a useful room above, offering further potential for storage, office use, or conversion (subject to permissions). The driveway extends around to the side of the property and leads to a generous rear terrace, perfectly designed for alfresco dining and entertaining.

The rear garden is beautifully established, featuring a variety of mature trees and shrubs that create both privacy and a picturesque setting. Additionally there is a hot tub, making this outdoor space equally suited for relaxation and social occasions throughout the year.
