The property has been thoughtfully designed to provide a seamless flow between the principal reception rooms and the landscaped gardens beyond, creating a wonderful environment for both entertaining and day-to-day living. Of particular note are the impressive leisure and equestrian facilities, including a professionally constructed manège, private carp lake, stabling, and extensive grazing land, making the property ideally suited to those seeking an equestrian lifestyle or a peaceful rural retreat.

Property Description - Approached via a shared private road with a grand, brick pillared entrance with the 2nd property on the left being 2 The woodlands. Parking up on a spacious driveway, the property then opens into a welcoming entrance hall leading to a series of elegant and characterful reception rooms. The principal sitting room is centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace with log-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting focal point, whilst a bay window frames attractive views to the front aspect.

Glazed double doors connect seamlessly to the garden room which provides direct access to the garden, and an open archway leads through to the library with bespoke cabinetry, allowing excellent versatility for family living and entertaining.

A separate sitting room, complete with a stone inglenook fireplace and log burner, provides a cosy retreat and could equally serve as a study, snug, or playroom. The beautifully appointed kitchen/breakfast room features modern units, a central island, double Rangemaster oven, and ample space for informal dining. Adjoining the kitchen is a practical utility and boot room with direct access to the gardens.

The impressive garden room enjoys panoramic views across the rear gardens and provides an exceptional entertaining, dining or relaxation space, flooded with natural light throughout the day and kept warm and cosy with underfloor heating on cooler days.

To the first floor are four generously proportioned double bedrooms, including a lovely main bedroom with an impressive ensuite bathroom featuring both bath and separate shower. A second bedroom also benefits from ensuite facilities, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish contemporary family bathroom with freestanding bath and walk-in shower.

The property further benefits from extensive equestrian and leisure facilities including a professionally constructed 46m x 26m manège, four stables, tack and feed storage, and excellent grazing paddocks extending across the estate. The larger grazing paddock may also lend itself to the creation of a private cross-country course, subject to any necessary consents.

A particular highlight of the property is the beautifully positioned and well-stocked private carp lake, complete with island and circular walk, creating a tranquil haven for wildlife, fishing, and relaxation which adjoins the larger grazing paddock.

Gardens And Grounds - The gardens and grounds extend to approximately 11.29 acres in total, with the formal landscaped gardens occupying just over 1.1 acres surrounding the house. These have been thoughtfully designed and carefully maintained to provide year-round colour and interest, featuring sweeping lawns, mature borders, ornamental pond terraces, azalea beds, and an impressive collection of unusual and non-indigenous trees and shrubs.
The grounds provide a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion whilst enjoying uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside. Beyond the formal gardens lie extensive grazing paddocks with separate access, ideal for equestrian use or smallholding purposes.

Garage And Workshop - The detached double garage benefits from electric doors and incorporates a useful garden store and laundry area. Above the garage is a converted first-floor office space, offering excellent flexibility for home working, hobbies, or potential ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.
The building also benefits from solar panels, enhancing the property’s overall efficiency and practicality.
