An exceptional Grade II listed property, beautifully combining period charm with refined contemporary living. Immaculately presented throughout, the property showcases an abundance of character features including striking arched leaded windows, elegant fireplaces and generous proportions, while having been thoughtfully enhanced and extended by the current owners to an exacting standard.
Occupying a private and secluded setting within approximately five acres, the property enjoys beautifully landscaped wraparound gardens, a picturesque lake with fountain, private woodland and superb equestrian facilities, making it an outstanding country home.
The welcoming reception hall sets the tone for the accommodation, featuring attractive oak herringbone flooring which flows throughout much of the ground floor. The impressive drawing room provides an exceptional entertaining space, enhanced by vaulted ceilings with skylights, timber-framed bi-fold doors opening onto the terrace, and stunning views across the lake and gardens. A well-appointed office offers an ideal space for home working, with direct access to the garden and potential for use as a fourth bedroom or annexe accommodation, complemented by an adjacent contemporary shower room.
Further reception space includes a charming sitting room with feature fireplace, a formal dining room with attractive red brick fireplace, and a separate playroom discreetly positioned off the main living areas. The bespoke kitchen has been thoughtfully designed to combine style and practicality, featuring fitted wall and base units, quartz worktops, a traditional butler sink and integrated Neff appliances, while a delightful bay window seat enjoys panoramic views across the grounds.
To the first floor, the generous principal bedroom suite benefits from extensive built-in wardrobes and a luxurious en suite bathroom complete with mosaic tiled flooring, bespoke double vanity unit and roll-top bath. Two further well-proportioned bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower.
Externally, secure electric gates open onto a substantial driveway providing ample parking for numerous vehicles. The grounds have been meticulously maintained and include expansive lawns, mature trees, colourful planted borders, extensive flagstone terraces and private woodland, all enclosed by a post and rail fencing. A dedicated children's play area further enhances the family appeal.
The equestrian facilities are particularly impressive, comprising eight stables including a foaling box, a tack room, large store, paddocks and a floodlit 20m x 40m sand and rubber ménage. The property is ideally positioned for access to local show centres and excellent woodland hacking routes.
