Agents Comments - The quality of Benn Hills Farm is evident not only in its scale, but in the care and craftsmanship seen throughout. Bespoke cabinetry, substantial internal doors, deep architraves, detailed cornicing and finely finished joinery give the house a sense of permanence and individuality, while the accommodation balances formal elegance with relaxed family living. The result is a home that feels both impressive and highly usable.

Its breadth of appeal is equally notable. The property would suit a family seeking space, privacy and multigenerational flexibility, a buyer requiring substantial home-working or leisure accommodation, or those drawn to country living with guest, staff or ancillary provision. Few properties combine this level of presentation, versatility and seclusion in such a well-connected setting.

Main Residence - Ground Floor - The main entrance opens into an elegant reception hall, setting the tone for the scale and refinement found throughout. Formal sitting and dining rooms lie to either side, both beautifully proportioned with high ceilings, detailed cornicing, substantial fireplaces and tall sash-style windows overlooking the front grounds. Beyond, the accommodation becomes more relaxed and family focused. The family room adjoins the bespoke kitchen, which is arranged around a central island and supported by a pantry, utility room and boiler room. The standout conservatory creates a bright setting for informal dining and relaxation, with extensive glazing and views across the rear gardens. A separate study provides a private home office or library, while the adjoining leisure wing includes a generous games room and an exceptional indoor swimming pool. Tall arched windows, glazed doors and a large roof lantern fill the space with natural light and the paved surround creates space for loungers and informal seating, with a shower room, WC and plant room completing the suite.

The side entrance connects with the adjoining garage, above which is a substantial multi-purpose room.

First Floor - The main staircase rises to a broad central landing, with the bedroom accommodation arranged across the first floor. At one end is the main bedroom suite, comprising a spacious bedroom, separate dressing room and en-suite bathroom. At the opposite end lies a second generous suite, also incorporating its own dressing room and en-suite facilities, giving both of the larger bedrooms a pleasing sense of separation and privacy. Three further bedrooms complete the accommodation. One benefits from an en-suite shower room, while the remaining two are positioned to either side of the family bathroom, creating a practical and well-balanced arrangement.

Garaging And Courtyard - Arranged around a substantial paved courtyard to the rear of the main house is a useful range of ancillary accommodation, centred around a large garage block measuring approximately 34'1" × 18'11" and approached through three individual garage doors. The courtyard provides generous parking and manoeuvring space, while a separate personnel entrance gives convenient everyday access. Above the garage is a substantial first-floor room, measuring approximately 38'1" × 15'10", providing flexible additional space for working, leisure or occasional accommodation, subject to the relevant planning and building regulations.

Outside, Gardens And Grounds - The property is approached along a private drive which opens onto an impressive newly laid circular driveway, creating a strong sense of arrival in front of the house and providing generous parking and turning space. A separate branch of the drive leads to the rear courtyard.

The gardens and grounds are extensive and beautifully established, combining broad formal lawns, mature specimen trees, richly planted borders and more natural areas of woodland and meadow. To the rear, a paved terrace adjoins the house and overlooks a wide expanse of lawn, while further areas include productive garden space with a substantial greenhouse, a timber garden pavilion and secluded pathways through the planting. There is an extensive pioed watering system around the gardens and grounds.

A particularly attractive private lake forms a focal point within the grounds, edged by mature willows and waterside vegetation and approached by a timber walkway. Beyond, the arboretum and parkland contain an impressive variety of established trees set across sweeping grassland, creating a private and exceptionally tranquil setting, set within 19.30 acres.

Stable Block - Set separately within the grounds is a detached red-brick stable building divided into two principal sections, comprising a stable/workshop, measuring approximately 28'5" × 12'1". This is a versatile space that could accommodate further stabling, feed and tack storage, workshop use or estate equipment, depending on requirements. Adjoining it is a separate stable, measuring approximately 14'1" × 12'1". Both sections have independent external access, with additional windows providing natural light and ventilation.

Immediately outside is a secure, fenced and gated yard, offering a practical turnout, handling or working area directly beside the building. The stable block is surrounded by mature trees and lawns, giving it a secluded position within the grounds with access to pasture land.

Detached Cottage - Set separately within the courtyard grounds, this detached property provides self-contained two-storey accommodation extending to approximately 976 sqft. The cottage is entered through a central entrance hall, from which the principal ground-floor rooms are arranged to either side. To the left is a comfortable sitting room, with windows to two elevations and a particularly attractive exposed-brick fireplace incorporating a freestanding wood-burning stove.

On the opposite side is the kitchen/diner which is fitted with a broad range of wall and base cabinetry, timber work surfaces and integrated cooking appliances, with space at the centre for a dining table. A tiled floor runs throughout, while the window above the sink provides natural light. A door leads into a separate store. Completing the ground floor is a useful shower room, fitted with a shower enclosure, wash basin and WC, together with a separate adjoining store off the kitchen.
