Dating from the early 20th century, Abbotswood is a substantial and impressive family home in an Edwardian style and retains all the characteristics typical of that period.

Note-worthy characteristics include the very generous panelled reception hall and elegant oak staircase, feature fireplaces in several rooms and the attractive stone-mullioned leaded-light windows. High ceilings in the principal rooms and large windows create a tremendous impression of space and light drawing the eye to some wonderful garden views.

The bright and spacious kitchen/breakfast room benefits from a recently refurbished Smallbone kitchen and will undoubtedly become the family centre of the home.

Generous reception areas and garden access make Abbotswood ideal for entertaining on a grand scale when required whilst being equally well suited to comfortably informal family living.

The property currently provides up to eight bedrooms including potential staff accommodation and beyond the main ground floor accommodation a service wing provides extensive storage areas and internal access to a garage–workshop with space for up to four cars.

Abbotswood also benefits from a spacious three-bedroom staff or guest cottage with attached double garage workshop. The accommodation of Abbotswood is well laid out and is illustrated on the floor plans included in this brochure.

In total, the main house offers eight bedrooms, four reception rooms and six bathrooms. Annex one offers one bedroom, one reception room and one bathroom with annex two offering two bedrooms, an open plan kitchen living room and one bathroom. The separate cottage has four bedrooms, one reception room, one bathroom and a separate w/c.

Gardens and Grounds
The superbly maintained gardens and grounds are a key feature of this property and will amply reward and delight the enthusiastic gardener.

The property is approached from the private lane over a cattle grid onto a spacious gravel forecourt with space for several cars and the drive continues behind the house to the garages and further parking.

The formal gardens surrounding the house are mainly laid to level lawn with numerous meticulously tended beds and borders where a wide variety of planting provides year-round colour and interest. A most attractive Wisteria-clad pergola leads away from the house to an ornate water feature, whilst to the rear a productive orchard leads to an area of kitchen garden and several glass houses.

Beyond the formal gardens the grounds merge into areas of pasture and well managed woodland with numerous specimen trees whilst beyond this again the grounds comprise mainly further woodland.

Grass paths lead over the lawns to the pool with pool house and changing rooms nearby.
