First impressions are superb, with a large and elegant entrance hall giving access to the principal reception rooms. The wealth of reception rooms at Haygrass House ensure it is both an ideal family home and perfect for entertaining and the proportions, ceiling heights and original features are impressive. The drawing room faces due south over the extensive formal gardens and grounds with a bay window ensuring plenty of natural light. Opposite is the dining room, an equally generous room with floor to ceiling sash windows and an open fire. The entrance hall continues into the inner hall from which the beautiful cantivered staircase with roof light above rises to the first floor. There is a library off the inner hall, with south facing floor to ceiling windows and double doors giving access to the gardens. The kitchen forms the heart of the home and is fully fitted with modern appliances as well as a central island and AGA. A pantry sits off the kitchen and there is a secondary kitchen with a door leading directly into the dining room, ideal for preparation when entertaining.Also on the ground floor are a cinema room, family room and study / home office. Beyond this and towards the back of the house are the practical elements including a large laundry / utility room and two store rooms. There is access to the rear courtyard from the back of the house. There is an extensive basement including a wine cellar and storage rooms.
Haygrass House has the unique feature of a ballroom, cementing its place as the consummate entertaining house. The ballroom measures 40 ft by 18 ft and is ideal for parties.
The grand proportions continue to the first floor, where a generous front landing leads to the main bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive with a double aspect giving elevated views over the gardens and a beautifully finished en suite bathroom. There are two further bedrooms at the front of the house, one with an en suite bathroom. There are six further bedrooms, and four bath / shower rooms all of which are of generous proportions.
There is a three bedroom lodge and two bedroom flat providing ancillary accommodation to the main house.
A number of majestic trees including Scots Pine, Yew and Beech, together with large expanses of lawn provide a perfect setting for such an imposing period property.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
