7 bedroom detached house

The house itself offers a superb clock tower in its centre; the large archway opening beneath the clock tower allows vehicular access through to the courtyard and to the current front door. The main building is presently divided into three sections of accommodation, the main house, three bedroom apartment and a separate two bedroom apartment. The versatile accommodation means this can be kept separate or opened up and used as one.

The Lodge and The Cottage are both positioned at the head of the long private driveway leading up to the main house. The Lodge is a single-storey spacious three bedroom property with a private garden and garaging.

The Cottage is a three bedroom, two-storey property with its own private garden, garage and further outbuildings. Our clients purchased the back drive after securing the main house. They purchased this for protection and privacy and to avoid any potential building on the land. This has never been explored but could be an option (subject to planning permissions).

The stunning parkland is Grade II* listed and was formed by William Eliot and landscaped in the 1750s by Philip Webb. The current land comprises streams, lakes, woodland, paddocks and some formal gardens as well. The gardens and grounds are home to some of the most exceptional trees, particularly the stunning sequoia, tulip tree and plane trees, amongst many others. The follies or antiquities are exquisite and offer a fantastic look into the true history of the once 1,300-acre estate. A number of these are separately listed in their own right.
