Description
Beyond a welcoming entryway with incorporated cloakroom, the accommodation flows from the grand reception hall with oak flooring and marble fireplace into the main four reception rooms. The first of which is a delightful 23ft, dual aspect sitting room containing three sets of French doors, flooding the room with light and leading to an outdoor dining area. A spacious office features elegant, wall to wall shelving with underlit display cases and a luxurious bespoke desk with a stone fireplace and a further two sets of French doors accessing the western gardens.
A tailor made semi-open plan kitchen/dining/ utility room features characterful limestone tiles complemented by cream wall and base units. Calcatta Macchia Vecchia style Marble worksurfaces in gold, white, grey, and cream tones surround a central island/breakfast bar featuring a solid wooden worktop. An Aga offers three cast-iron ovens for roasting, baking, and simmering and two hotplates. The styling of the kitchen continues into the fitted utility area which provides further storage space, as well as a farmhouse style walk-in pantry. The dining room offers bountiful space for a good-sized family dining table and chairs, with the character of this room being offset by a designer glass cabinet that is sleek and stylish.
Leading off the kitchen is a quaint garden room that looks out to the chicken coop and North gardens, providing an ideal space to prepare or conclude for the day. Adjacent to this is the luxurious vaulted pool complex with heated pool, original timber framed beams and flagstone flooring. A mezzanine level with French doors open out to a private balcony, which provides the perfect place to unwind whilst enjoying the far-reaching countryside views.
To the southerly wing, you will find the superb drawing room, formerly a cinema, which exudes a more modern feel, creating an ideal entertaining space whilst enjoying views of the exceptional private courtyard. Interconnecting double doors lead through a sizeable hallway onto a room currently used as a dance studio with a fitted mirror covering the entire rear wall. This room would be especially suitable for conversion to a home bar or gaming area, if so inclined. Accessed via a separate stairway just off the hall is the 24ft. home fitness suite with three Velux windows.
Upstairs, there are five generous bedrooms, including the palatial dual aspect principal suite with built in wardrobes and a substantial modern en suite bathroom with dual his/hers washbasins, freestanding bath and large walk-in shower. French doors lead from the en suite out to a large, private balcony with exceptional views of the lush, secluded gardens.
The fourth guestroom also has the added benefit of a staircase leading to an exquisite overhead dressing area, complete with an abundance of fitted storage. Concluding the main house first floor is the family bathroom with Moroccan style floor tiles, freestanding roll top bath and separate shower enclosure.
The detached guest cottage provides further useful accommodation for multi-generational living, staff accommodation or a potential holiday-let. It comprises an attractive open plan sitting room/bedroom with a freestanding wood burner and exposed beams, a kitchenette and a cloakroom. A footpath leads through the front gardens to the main house. A third gated entrance provides exclusive access to the cottage and its large, independent parking area, placed conveniently alongside the allotments.
