Find Out A Little More... - Forming the heart of the home between the east and west wings, the kitchen/breakfast room provides extensive dining and living space, illuminated by windows and glazed doors on both sides opening onto the garden terraces. Ceiling speakers are integrated within the timber-clad, double-height vaulted ceiling, creating an ideal setting for both everyday family life and larger-scale entertaining.

The kitchen area flows naturally into a defined dining space and sitting area, providing a unified yet zoned arrangement that allows the space to function both as a whole and in distinct parts.

The kitchen features a substantial island unit with banquette-style breakfast seating forming a natural focal point. Exceptionally well appointed, the kitchen is fitted with granite worktops and a comprehensive range of appliances including two integrated electric ovens, two dishwashers and a six-oven gas-fired Aga across two units.

A striking glass link connects the kitchen/living space to the sleek and modern principal rooms within the west wing. This glazed space doubles up as a garden room, featuring bifold doors opening fully on both sides to create an exceptional indoor/outdoor dining and entertaining area.

The west wing provides the family accommodation, including a family sitting room, cinema/games room and a walnut-panelled library. The upper floor offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms and an office featuring a striking section of reinforced glass flooring. Of particular note is the principal bedroom suite, complete with dressing area and circular marble wet room. The family bathroom is luxuriously appointed with two freestanding baths, a double floating vanity unit and an integrated Aquavision television.

The east wing is dedicated to leisure and guest accommodation, featuring a 25 ft billiards room, a cloakroom with a television and a fitted wine cellar with spittoon. On the upper floor is a self-contained two-bedroom guest annexe complete with shower room.

Outside - Electric gates open onto a sweeping tarmac driveway that curves through lawns to the house before continuing on to the garaging, stable yard and paddocks, passing an apple orchard along the way.

Paved, south-facing terraces extend across the house, the larger enjoying an outlook over lawned gardens with a central water feature, framed by colourful rock gardens. These terraces provide a variety of seating and entertaining areas to enjoy the sun throughout the day.

The extensive outbuildings, including the former mill, are arranged to the eastern side of the house. An open-bay garage/machinery store includes two plumbed rooms, and an EV charging point is installed.

The former grain mill, rebuilt in 2007 using original bricks, now requires some renovation. Arranged over four floors, it enjoys panoramic views over open countryside and offers significant potential for alternative use or income generation.
