Mockley Wood Farm is a rare find, nestled within
beautiful countryside and offering a fantastic array of leisure facilities – it is the house that has everything.

The leisure facilities are vast and include a swimming pool and squash court.

The elegant and light-filled accommodation is arranged in two parts: the main house and the leisure wing. The property is accessed via a stunning atrium which leads to the ‘Lake Room’, a large reception room overlooking the lake that has its own bar, fitted seating and far-reaching views over the lake. There are two kitchens: a formal space with professional-standard facilities and a breakfast/dining area, and an informal kitchen with integrated utility area. There is also a wonderful light-filled conservatory, with views over the lake and gardens. Additional reception rooms include a drawing room, dining room and study. Upstairs, the six bedroom are beautifully appointed, most notably the principal suite which is outfitted in Versace furnishings and features a raised dais, French windows opening to a private balcony, a dressing room, bath/shower room and separate cloakroom.
