The sitting room/library provides an inviting space for comfortable family living while the oldest portion of the house's more casual family room adds charm with its original beams and a fireplace. The large family kitchen features custom cabinets, a centre island, an AGA and has access to a utility room, laundry room, cloakroom, and additional storage space.
The first floor's principal bedrooms are located around the galleried landing and are reached by an ornate wrought iron staircase. Seven bedrooms, including three with en suite bathrooms, as well as two additional family baths are located on the first floor. A balcony off the front two bedrooms provides an excellent vantage point to take in the property's stunning surroundings. On the second floor there is one more bedroom and bathroom, accessed by a second staircase.
An office and a spacious one-bedroom flat, perfect for staff or guest accommodation, are located in the adjacent courtyard of period outbuildings. A set of stables, tack room, workshop and two garages are among the many traditional storage areas in this courtyard complex.
Winterbourne Manor is approached through attractive private gates with the gravel drive curving to open onto the courtyard of outbuildings next to the house. There are several stables, a tack room, three garages, and a workshop in the courtyard of outbuildings. Four additional stables are located in the paddock adjacent to the house. To the north, there is a wonderful timber-framed, thatched party barn along with a small orchard.
Attractive mature yew trees and hedges are scattered among the 32.18 acres of grounds that surround the house. To the west of the house, a well-manicured lawn runs from the sheltered terrace area up to the ha-ha, with the property's paddocks and mature woodland beyond. Also in the parkland is a sizable vegetable garden, greenhouse, and tennis court that is well-screened from the house by mature hedging. The property's outdoor swimming pool is surrounded by a superbly landscaped walled garden, and a charming pool house with convenient kitchen, changing room and bathroom.
