Seawards was originally one large Edwardian country house, later split into two substantial residences. As the west wing, the house enjoys lovely sunny gardens and excellent natural light throughout its beautifully presented accommodation. The house is surrounded by mature gardens and attractive countryside, over which there are pleasant views. Internally there are a range of excellent character features, such as cornicing, picture rails, elegant fireplaces, a handsome staircase and elegant leaded windows. The principal bedroom, with its four-metre-high barrel-vaulted ceiling is a particular highlight, and has the added benefit of its own roof terrace screened by an impressive wisteria. Where improvements and modernisations have been made they have been done in a way that complements the original character of the home, and the décor sympathetic and classically appointed throughout.

The main house, pool house and garaging combine to provide a substantial property of over 5,800 sq ft. The main home is set out over four floors, with excellent spaces for formal entertaining as well as functioning brilliantly as a family home. A grand entrance opens to a fabulous dining hall and onwards to a formal drawing room, open plan kitchen and breakfast room with adjoining utility, a study and a cloakroom. There are also useful cellars for storage on the lower ground floor. The first floor accommodation comprises the principal suite, a further en suite double bedroom and an additional bedroom, with the final bedroom and family shower room on the second floor.

Separate to the main house within the grounds is the pool house/annexe, which is ideal for visiting guests and comprises an open plan kitchen/reception room, a cloakroom and en suite bedroom.

Outside
Seawards is set in a plot of about 1.9 acres, split between formal gardens, a pool area and woodland beyond. The gardens are traditionally laid out, with formal areas of landscaping to the front including box parterre and lavender borders, which are wonderfully fragrant and colourful, expansive lawns bordered by mature trees and hedging and a number of terraces perfect for alfresco entertaining. Situated in a secluded, separate area to the main house is the pool house and its adjoining swimming pool, inset within a sizeable terrace which is partly shaded by the annexe. The house is accessed by a grand entrance and a sweeping driveway shared with the neighbouring house, and has extensive private parking in addition to a detached triple garage. Further still, there is a lovely area of woodland to the west of the garden, leading to a public footpath to Marlow.
