Dating to the fifteenth century with later alterations, historic St Marys Grange is an exquisite property which showcases a wealth of period character whilst also providing a substantial living environment perfectly suited to entertaining and as a family home. Period attributes including lofty mullion windows, ancient exposed timbers, intricate wood carving, panelling, parquet flooring and feature fireplaces are sympathetically complemented by stylish interior design. There are five versatile reception rooms including an elegant drawing room, a beamed dining room, a snooker room with part-vaulted ceiling and French doors to
the garden. The stunning Smallbone kitchen/ breakfast room is fitted with high quality, cabinetry, topped by stone work tops featuring
edge detailing, and offers an island unit with breakfast bar extension, plus Wolf and Sub-Zero
appliances. Ancillary space is provided by a fully outfitted utility room, designed with pets in mind, and a boot room, whilst the cellar is a brilliant offering to wine lovers.

The ornate timber stairway rises to the first floor
landing which gives access to six bedrooms. The generous principal bedroom provides an opulent retreat with a luxurious en suite bathroom and access through to a shower room and dressing room. There are two family bathrooms with freestanding tubs, one on the first level and a second at attic level on the floor above. Additional accommodation is provided in the enchanting, converted coach house which can be accessed across a paved courtyard from the main house.

The gardens and grounds at St Marys Grange are extensive, impeccably landscaped and interspersed with mature trees. The garden features include an ornamental lake with jetty stocked with carp, an orchard, tennis court and an outdoor pool with paved surround and pergola. A formal garden lies closest to the house with clipped hedging, rows of
specimen trees and planted beds, whilst a paved courtyard garden with beds containing rose bushes and a timber pergola offers opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation.
