This is an exceptional, five bedroom family house situated in the Wyfold Country Estate. The current owners have recently refurbished the property providing beautifully presented light and spacious accommodation.
The property is entered via a spacious reception hall, with doors leading to the reception rooms, and stairs to the first floor. The beautifully decorated reception rooms include a study with a large bay window looking out to the front garden, a spacious sitting room with an attractive stone fireplace and a large bay with French windows opening out to the rear terrace and garden. There is also an excellent dining room, great for entertaining.

To the left of the reception hall is the magnificent kitchen/breakfast room/family room. The kitchen has a range of wall and base units beneath a quartz worktop and a range of integrated appliances, including a range oven, microwave, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. The breakfast room/family room is in the conservatory, with ample room for a dining table and sitting area with a door to the garden. From the kitchen is a utility room with a range of fitted cupboards and a deep sink unit, ideal for washing dogs. Continuing through the utility, the current owners have converted one of the original two garages into a playroom and boot room which leads to the remaining single integrated garage.
The first floor comprises four luxurious bedrooms, all beautifully decorated with large windows overlooking the gardens. Three bedrooms have fitted wardrobes; two have en suite shower rooms, and also a family bathroom. The current owners installed the second floor eighteen months ago, accessed via a custom-made staircase with natural light from a roof light above into the spacious first-floor landing. Here, the outstanding principal bedroom has a range of built-in storage/wardrobes and a fantastic en suite with a standalone bath and walk-in shower. Velux windows allowing daylight to flood throughout the second-floor and offer views over the woodland canopy.

The property is approached via a private road through the parkland estate. The driveway has parking for several cars and a garage for additional parking or storage. At the rear is an attractive garden, mainly laid to lawn and bordered with a mixture of wooden fencing and beech hedging. Over 180 acres of private estate woodland can be accessed via a gate in the garden, hosting an abundance of wildlife and laced with footpaths for the enjoyment of residents. To the back of the garden is a newly built state-of-the-art garden office with electricity, heating, wifi and air conditioning – everything you need to work from home.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on October 31, 2022

    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
