This characterful 18th century family home was refurbished in recent times and has a heated swimming pool, cinema and billiard room, period features including inglenook fireplaces and exposed beams as well as a contemporary annex. It is approached via a long driveway with entrances from both Highstead and Boyden Gate Hill and flanked by a large lawn, mature trees, high hedging and leads to the garages and off road parking. The front door opens into a lobby with cellar access and leads to the beamed ‘snug', utility room and bathroom.

The contemporary kitchen includes underfloor heating, units housing a variety of appliances and is open to the breakfast room with matching cupboards. There is a wide archway to a seating/dining area with a brick fireplace, a spiral staircase and a further arch to the drawing room. This has access to the conservatory, original oak flooring, a beam and ornate coving that all continue into the adjacent billiard room with its full size billiard table and a beautiful inglenook fireplace.

The spacious dining room opens onto a courtyard and has a door down to the stunning cinema room. Another pair of multi-pane French doors open into the contemporary annex kitchen/breakfast room with access to the garden and stairs to a shower room and two double bedrooms. The spiral staircase from the seating area leads to the beamed main bedroom with mirrored wardrobes, a large dressing room, an en suite bathroom and access to the flat roof. There are three further double bedrooms and a single as well as a staircase down to the bathroom.

The secluded swimming pool complex has a summer house with a toilet and shower. The rear garden includes a terrace, a large lawn with fishpond, mature trees and shrubs, a log store/stable and a paddock.

What the Owner says:
This has been our family home since before I was born. It is a wonderful country house in an idyllic location and provides me with a raft of happy memories. Over the past few years we have been delighted to update parts of the house and provide excellent leisure facilities for all our family and friends, however we feel that it is time to start a new chapter in our lives and hope new owners will be able to enjoy everything this special home has to offer.

Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on October 4, 2022

Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. 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

The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on October 4, 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

Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on June 13, 2023 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
