    About this property

    • The Rookery is a highly impressive and substantial period home which is not listed and has therefore been extended and modernised by the current owners. Offering superb family accommodation approaching 6000 square feet, the property must be viewed to be fully appreciated and is being sold with the advantage of no onward chain.

      The ground floor consists of six reception rooms including the formal sitting and dining rooms, both complete with attractive fireplaces and doors out to the gardens. A library room is a modern addition which perfectly contrasts to the rest of the property by containing full height glazing and therefore making the most of the outward views over the garden. The heart of the home is the bespoke kitchen which emphasises a country lifestyle with its quintessential AGA and exposed beams and overflowing into the scullery which makes for a bakers dream. Set around a central island unit the kitchen is a sociable environment and demonstrates perfectly its scope as a family home by having a useful snug off it which could be utilised as a play room if desired. An essential home office makes for ideal working from home and a large games room could be utilised as a home gym/further living space or subject to the necessary permissions be incorporated with the two bedrooms above into annexe accommodation with its very own access. The ground floor is completed via a useful boot room and cloakroom.

      Of particular note is the cinema room which the owners have created in the cellar of the property. This hidden area is a family delight and with its ambient lighting it really achieved bringing cinema into the home.

      To the first floor are eight bedrooms. The principal room features a generously proportioned en suite and the guest bedroom also benefits from en suite facilities. The remaining rooms are served via three family bathrooms. Usefully a laundry room is on this floor for convenience.

      Outside
      The Rookery is approached via secure electronic gates and leads to an area of ample off road parking as well as the double garage. The garage building features additional store rooms as well as a loft space for exceptional storage. The property stands within gardens of about 1.7 acres which are mainly laid to lawn with several mature trees in situ aiding privacy. A large patio terrace provides very good outdoor entertaining potential and there is an attractive and wildlife encouraging pond.

      A swimming pool complex complete with changing room, boiler room and shower room is in place giving both excellent exercising facilities and family leisure opportunities.
