6 bedroom detached house for sale

Withens is an outstanding detached residence of considerable scale and presence, occupying a highly private position within approximately 1.8 acres of beautifully tended gardens and grounds. Included within the title is a parcel of land that may be available by separate negotiation, offering further scope for those seeking additional space or future potential (subject to consents). Further details available on request. Additionally, the property could appeal to developers with various options available with the main house and triple garage (again, subject to relevant permissions and consents). Approached via a long private driveway, the property offers a rare combination of seclusion and convenience, being situated within easy reach of excellent local amenities and transport links.

The accommodation extends to over 6,000 sq ft and has been thoughtfully designed to provide a harmonious balance between elegant formal entertaining spaces and versatile family living areas. Retaining an abundance of original character alongside high-quality contemporary enhancements, Withens is an exceptional family home of rare quality.

The entrance hall sets the tone for the property, leading to a succession of five principal reception rooms. The formal sitting and dining rooms, each with fireplaces and high ceilings, enjoy views over the gardens, while a dedicated home office and a bespoke cinema room provide additional flexibility for a modern lifestyle.

At the heart of the house lies a magnificent open-plan kitchen, living and dining space, fitted with a bespoke range of cabinetry, an impressive central island, extensive work surfaces and premium integrated appliances. A wall of bi-folding doors extends seamlessly onto the substantial decked terrace, ensuring an effortless flow between indoor and outdoor living. A separate utility room offers additional practicality without compromising the aesthetic of the principal living areas.

The first floor offers six/seven well-proportioned bedrooms, each finished to a high standard. The principal suite is particularly noteworthy, comprising a substantial double bedroom, a luxurious en-suite bathroom, and a generous walk-in dressing room (with the potential to reconfigure into two separate rooms if desired). A number of the additional bedrooms benefit from en-suite facilities, and the second bedroom enjoys the rare advantage of a private balcony overlooking the gardens. Bathrooms throughout are appointed to an exacting specification, with the principal bathroom enjoying a spa-inspired design incorporating a sauna and steam room.

A further highlight of Withens is the fully self-contained annexe, located on the top floor and accessed independently via a private entrance with lift access via the main house. Offering highly flexible living arrangements, the annexe comprises a sitting room, fully fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms (one en-suite), an office/study, and a further bathroom. This space is ideally suited for multigenerational living, guest accommodation, or potential rental, subject to any necessary consents.

The grounds of Withens provide an exceptional setting, offering large level lawns, mature trees and planting, and a substantial decked terrace complete with an outdoor kitchen, perfect for entertaining on a grand scale. A triple garage and extensive driveway parking add to the practical advantages of the property, whilst the secure gated entrance ensures privacy and security.

Furthermore, within the grounds lies a parcel of land which previously secured planning permission (Reference: 03/02157/FUL) for the construction of a detached three-bedroom dwelling. Although this permission has since lapsed, the site offers scope for future development, subject to reinstating consent. Please note, this parcel of land is not included within the main asking price and is available by separate negotiation.

Withens represents a rare opportunity to acquire a property of exceptional quality, offering an unrivalled combination of scale, privacy and versatility. Its outstanding accommodation and magnificent setting will undoubtedly appeal to the most discerning of buyers.
