An impressive and imposing country residence set within about 16.21 acres (6.55 hectares) of grounds and gardens, with equestrian and leisure facilities and staff/guest accommodation
Believed to date back to the 19th century, this exceptional residence combines period elegance with later additions, creating a home of remarkable character and scale. The striking white-rendered façade, tall sash windows, and portico entrance set the tone for the grandeur within. Approached via a sweeping driveway behind electric wrought iron gates, the property is set back from view and offers substantial and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors.
Inside, the house boasts a wealth of period features, including high skirting boards, decorative cornicing, ornamental architraves, and picture rails. Many of the principal rooms feature original fireplaces, adding warmth and charm throughout. The impressive reception hall, with its polished marble floor and double-height arched window, creates a stunning first impression. The ground floor offers elegant reception rooms, including a refined drawing room and dining room with tall sash windows and deep bays that open onto a magnificent 37-foot conservatory. This space features a marble floor, bespoke oak bar, and French doors leading to a raised terrace. Additional rooms include a study with bespoke oak cabinetry, a sitting room with silk-lined walls and a tented ceiling, and a superb billiard room with a raised ceiling, central skylight, and original marble fireplace. A versatile ground-floor area offers potential as a self-contained annexe.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a true highlight, measuring over 22 feet and opening onto a 37-foot roof terrace. Five further double bedrooms provide ample space, all with fitted wardrobes and bespoke storage, and three benefit from en-suite facilities. The bathrooms are finished to a high standard, blending classic style with modern convenience.
The property also features an enclosed walkway leading to an impressive indoor leisure complex. This includes a heated swimming pool measuring approximately 48 by 23 feet within a fully glazed enclosure, a sitting area, and a bar. Five sets of sliding doors open to the gardens, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. The complex also includes two changing rooms with showers, a separate WC, and a gym overlooking the pool.
The extensive grounds include formal gardens, paddocks, and leisure areas. A stone-paved terrace with balustrades overlooks two ponds and enjoys far-reaching views. Additional features include a pagoda with a bespoke brick-built barbecue, a hard tennis court, and multiple paddocks, including a manège. There are numerous hard-standing areas suitable for parking and equestrian use. Outbuildings include two modern stable blocks with a total of 14 loose boxes, tack rooms, and groom's room, two double garages with electric doors, two workshops, and a modern barn with roller door and covered bays.
A modern detached building provides flexible accommodation for staff or guests, currently arranged as two spacious apartments. Each offers two double bedrooms, a sitting room, kitchen, and bathroom, with a private garden and parking for several vehicles.
