Lions Gate is a bespoke new home dating from 2017, designed in the Georgian style with a quality specification both inside and out. The traditional style elevations are all finished in Flemish bond brickwork with large painted sash widows and cast iron rainwater goods.

Inside, the well-proportioned rooms benefit from traditional features including ceiling mouldings, deep skirting boards and a fine Chesney's marble fireplace in the sitting room fitted with a wood burning stove. The main entrance hall is fitted with limestone flooring which extends through to the impressive kitchen/dining/family room, and has been designed with a wonderful, traditional style turn staircase which rises up centrally through the house to the two floors above.

The kitchen is by Martin Moore with stone worktops, a large island unit and extensive cupboards and drawers, as well as display cabinets. This is focused around an electric three oven Aga, plus a conventional Miele oven and Siemens hot plate. There are also integrated Miele fridge and freezers plus a wine fridge and a dishwasher. The bath and shower rooms are equally well appointed, as are the fitted wardrobes in various bedrooms.

The house is triple glazed featuring sash style windows and enjoying mobile app controlled underfloor heating on the ground and first floor, with radiators to the top floor. Also, the security includes mobile app controlled cameras and an alarm system.

Outside, to the front, the house is set back from the road with an electric, gated drive leading to a wide turning and parking area. To the rear, there is a superb southerly terrace accessible from the kitchen and sitting room, running the full width of the house and overlooking the garden, with extensive, secure under-croft storage, including the plant room for the central heating. There are a generous number of outbuildings supporting the house, including the detached garage block with two open bays, with lockable workshop to the ground floor and staircase to a studio room above. Also, the property benefits from a detached office building with cloakroom and shower, plus the extensive under-croft storage below the rear terrace, a garden shed and a larger garden barn, currently used as a children's play area or garden room and log store.

The delightful lawned gardens are interspersed with a variety of mature trees, including four beautiful magnolias and two acers, with further hydrangeas to the boundary, along with some park rail estate fencing to the neighbouring field. The total plot in all is approximately 1.1 acres.
