The remaining three double bedrooms on this floor all have en-suite shower rooms. The second floor is given over to three further double bedrooms and a bathroom, plus a large storage room, which also houses the heat recovery system.
To the front, the house is approached via an electrically operated gate, which open on to a sweeping drive, leading to a wide parking and turning area. The detached triple garage includes two open bays and has stairs leading to a first-floor store room. Sitting within approximately 32 acres, the landscaped gardens are laid out over approximately 4 acres and include sweeping lawns, two natural ponds and herbaceous borders. The walled swimming pool is heated by an air source heater and employs a Hypocell salt system for cleansing, negating the need for chemicals and has a summer house with a pump room behind.
To the rear is a wide terrace traversing the house which is ideal for outdoor entertaining. Beyond the gardens is approximately 20 acres of Ancient Woodland with two further ponds, which have an abundance of bluebells in the spring and through which woodland walks meander. Additionally, there is a large barn and a large paddock covering about 8 acres.
