General Description
The Main House
The accommodation inside this superb high-quality Georgian home extends to an impressive 7,357 square feet (including a cellar). The interiors are full of beautiful period features with living space over three floors. The volume on offer is rarely found, with 12’ high ceilings and a super ‘flow’.
Thoughtfully designed and sympathetically remodelled for family life, expect to find accommodation comprising, in brief, an entrance vestibule, no less than nine generous reception rooms with a host of ancillary ‘working’ rooms including a butler's pantry, boot rooms, and stores, and a generous high-grade family kitchen. Upstairs, laid across the first and second floors are six large bedroom suites, all with separate en-suite facilities. There is also an office and dressing room to the first floor, a further dressing room and a useful kitchenette to the second floor.
Of note are the main reception rooms including a drawing room, a formal dining room, and a more recent orangery extension offering south-facing access onto a large entertaining terrace. There is also a bar room that directly feeds to the orangery and drawing room.
Gardens and Grounds
The grounds are stunning. Set behind wrought iron electrically operable gates, there is a lantern-lit sweeping tarmac-laid driveway leading to the right-hand side of the main house. The Hall enjoys an elevated position behind tiered lawns with manicured borders. There are several entertaining terraces, and of note is the large terrace to the front of the main house with views of the beautiful front elevation and back across the gardens. There are further lawns to the south side of the grounds, and an enclosed west-facing courtyard to the rear. There is private parking for a number of vehicles behind the property with a useful double carport.
By separate negotiation is a second gated driveway, two brick-under-tile two-bedroom cottages, and a large garage and workshop block. In total, the buildings afford in the region of 2,500 square feet of floor area. The cottages would be excellent for a purchaser seeking annexe, nanny, or rental accommodation.
