The Accommodation
The ground floor accommodation opens via a warm and inviting reception hall featuring traditional quarry-tiled flooring, exposed wall timbers, and a prominent wooden staircase rising to the first floor. Positioned off the hallway, at the heart of the ground floor is the expansive open-plan kitchen and breakfast room, lined with flagstone flooring and heavily beamed ceilings. The kitchen is equipped with Plain English, handcrafted and bespoke cabinetry, dark worktops, built-in display shelving, and ample space for a large central dining table. Directly connected to the kitchen is a practical utility room fitted with additional wall and base units, space for American-style refrigeration, and side access out to the grounds.
A generous sitting room filled with period charm, highlighting an impressive red-brick inglenook fireplace, heavy ceiling beams, and dual-aspect leaded windows. Directly adjoining is an exceptionally spacious drawing room, framed by timber-framed walls and exposed ceiling beams, providing a versatile formal living and study area with space for a grand piano. The ground floor layout extends into a series of practical day-to-day spaces, including a versatile family room/study, a cloakroom/WC, and a convenient boot room with direct external access.
The first-floor accommodation is centered around a central landing displaying exposed timber framing and wooden balustrades. The principal bedroom suite offers a generous double bedroom enhanced by a decorative feature wall and built-in wardrobes, leading to its own private en-suite bathroom.
Arranged along the remainder of the first floor are three additional well-proportioned double bedrooms, all showcasing characterful sloped ceilings, exposed structural timbers, and leaded windows overlooking the grounds. Serving these rooms is a family bathroom off the hallway, as well as an integrated en-suite shower room to one of the guest bedrooms. The layout is completed by a dedicated dressing room located adjacent to the guest bedrooms.
The self-contained annex provides light-filled living spaces arranged across a single level featuring tiled flooring, exposed ceiling beams, and French doors that open directly onto the patio and gardens. At the centre of the accommodation is an open-plan sitting and bedroom area, complete with bi-folding glazed doors leading outside. The bedroom area includes room for a double bed and freestanding furniture, with a folding door partition allowing optional privacy from the main living area. Completing the annex is a well-appointed shower room.
Outside
Set within extensive private grounds approaching 2.9 acres including three paddocks/meadows, one includes an orchard, framed by mature trees and countryside views, the outdoor area features expansive South West facing manicured lawns and a paved terrace ideal for alfresco dining adjacent to the house.
A key highlight of the garden is the outdoor swimming pool, which is fully paved and surrounded by vibrant plant borders and seating areas.
Further extending the grounds are dedicated equestrian and agricultural facilities, including a timber stable block with loose boxes and tack storage, an enclosed sand menage, and a fenced paddock area.
