A wonderful example of a late Georgian house set deep within the undulating countryside.

Description

High Pale is a handsome late Georgian residence surrounding by mature trees and a sweeping driveway. The house sits within beautifully stocked gardens, benefits from its own woodland and enjoys far-reaching views across the paddocks and countryside beyond.
The entrance hall is bright and welcoming with large sash windows and a wood burner currently functions as a snug and provides access to the first-floor landing.
The drawing room is the principal reception: an impressive, light-filled space with very high Georgian ceilings, ornate cornicing, with a Jetmaster fireplace fire. Original sash windows and double Georgian bay French doors open onto a terrace with steps down to the lawns.
The kitchen nestled in the center of High Pale whilst being light is vast in size with wall and base units, dual aspect windows, Aga along with integrated electric oven and hob. The kitchen includes a generous larder, utility and further storage cupboard. Off the kitchen a door leads down to the large wine cellar.

Beyond the kitchen is a large utility room with butler sink. Leading on is a office/ study / further reception with French doors to outside. This could lend itself to be a self-contained space if required.

The formal dining room enjoys dual aspect windows overlooking a lawned area, creating a bright and inviting setting ideal for entertaining, this generous space could easily be adapted for more relaxed, everyday use if preferred.

At the front of the house, a dedicated study/office offers an elegant working environment with high ceilings and built in storage, making it both practical and characterful.
The first floor of this striking Georgian home features a timeless galleried landing with two staircases and enjoying part stained-glass windows that introduce character and light.

High Georgian ceilings and large sash windows continue throughout offering sweeping outlooks across the surrounding views, creating an airy, elegant atmosphere throughout.

There are six double bedrooms, including a principal suite that benefits from panoramic views, en-suite bathroom with shower, and a separate dressing room.
The property also offers two further bathrooms providing flexible accommodation for family and guests.

Approached via a five bar electric gate. The sweeping driveway leads to the front of the property where there is a cartlodge and a square yard of four stables, feed/ tack room and large storage area.

The oak frame cartlodge is a great addition with three open bays for cars and storage with stairs leading to first floor accommodation. This space enjoys vaulted ceilings and Velux windows. On entering you have a kitchen area with cloakroom and storage room which opens up into a large reception room with double doors creating a Juliet balcony. This space is currently used as an office but could lend itself to be auxiliary accommodation

The gardens are beautiful and extend to approximately 2 acres (sts) and offer a mixture of vegetable gardens and secluded areas to enjoy. The paddocks are of well-maintained, quality meadow grazing, with post and rail fencing. There is also a small wooded area.
The second garage sits on the opposite side of the property and currently houses the bio-mass system.
