A distinguished Grade II listed Georgian home of exceptional character and versatility, set within approximately 5.4 acres, with ancillary accommodation and extensive garaging.
Constructed of Flemish bond brick beneath a tiled roof, the property displays the classic proportions, symmetry and balance of Georgian architecture. Extending to around 4,885 sq ft, it occupies a private rural setting and has been meticulously restored to combine historic character with the practicality of modern family living.
The estate is complemented by an impressive collection of outbuildings, self-contained accommodation and leisure facilities, making it ideally suited to multi-generational living, guest use, home working or recreatieuonal pursuits. Features include substantial garaging, a lake and a private helipad, creating a highly versatile country property.
Approached via brick entrance pillars and electric gates with intercom access, a sweeping gravel driveway leads to the principal house, garaging and courtyard parking. The mature grounds provide a strong sense of seclusion, further enhanced by a separate paddock with a grass helipad.
Inside, the principal residence retains a wealth of original features. A striking double-height inner hall forms the heart of the house, illuminated by a large arched window and enhanced by stone flooring.
A graceful central staircase rises to the first floor, creating an elegant focal point. Throughout, sash windows with working shutters, carved fireplaces, exposed beams and well-proportioned rooms contribute to the home’s character and warmth.
The ground floor offers a balanced arrangement of formal and informal spaces. The drawing room overlooks the gardens, while a refined dining room is ideal for entertaining. A comfortable sitting room, study with fireplace and a traditional wine cellar provide additional accommodation.
The triple-aspect kitchen/breakfast room forms the hub of daily life, opening directly onto the gardens and adjoining a family room with French doors to the terrace. A utility room and original servants’ staircase add practicality.
Upstairs, the principal suite includes a generous bedroom, dressing room and luxurious bathroom. A guest bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room, while two further double bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
A notable feature is the converted coach house, which provides two self-contained apartments. The ground-floor apartment includes a sitting room with garden access, kitchen, double bedroom and en suite bathroom. The first-floor apartment, with its own entrance, offers a double bedroom, an open-plan living area and a bathroom, providing flexible accommodation for family, guests or staff.
Additional outbuildings have been carefully restored and offer further flexibility for uses such as a gym, games room, studio or office suite, subject to consent. The substantial brick-and-flint garaging complex accommodates up to nine vehicles and includes office space, a kitchenette, cloakroom, wash area and inspection pit, making it particularly well suited to collectors or home-based business use. External stairs lead to a self-contained living space.
Further buildings include a workshop with storerooms and an attractive barn-style outbuilding, all overlooking a charming lake with a wooden jetty.
The grounds are a defining feature of the property, with mature trees, herbaceous borders and expansive lawns creating a peaceful setting.
A sunken lawn adjoining the drawing room provides an ideal space for outdoor entertaining. Leisure facilities include a swimming pool with pavilion and a newly resurfaced tennis court, both screened by hedging with the paddocks sitting behind.
To the north, an established kitchen garden features herb, vegetable and cut-flower beds, along with a greenhouse and potting shed. Surrounding paddocks to the east and south enhance the sense of space and rural character that define this exceptional home.
