A wonderful Grade II listed country house with fabulous far

Description

The Grove is a wonderful Grade II listed country house
set within lovely gardens and grounds with the addition of
adjoining paddock land. Thought to date back to the 16th
century, today, the house represents a stylish and extremely
spacious family home, which has over more recent years
undergone an extensive programme of works including the
fantastic kitchen/diner/breakfast room.

Whilst many of the rooms through enjoy wonderful views, the kitchen has been designed to take full advantage of the far reaching aspects over both its own paddock land and farmland views.

The house boasts over 4,200 sqft of living space over two floors with a good degree of versatility throughout.

There are five elegant reception rooms on the ground floor and five bright bedrooms on the first floor.

The Grove is approached via automated front wooden gates to the house where ample parking can be found along with an electric car charger point. The formal gardens run predominantly to the front and side of the house and from almost anywhere in the gardens one can stand and admire the fabulous views.

NB from agent: Equestrian facilities available by separate negotiation, please speak with the agent.
