Set amidst the unspoilt beauty of the English countryside, this elegant detached period residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of exceptional character and provenance. Discreetly positioned on the edge of a charming rural village and enveloped by approximately 6.5 acres of private grounds, the property exudes timeless appeal, where historical architectural detailing is thoughtfully complemented by sympathetic modern enhancements. Occupying an elevated position, the house enjoys far-reaching views over gently undulating farmland, creating a palpable sense of seclusion and serenity. A long, private shingled driveway, accessed through handsome wrought iron gates, leads gracefully through a mature, park-like woodland garden, home to stately oak, sycamore, horse chestnut, and lime trees. This approach imparts an immediate impression of grandeur, privacy, and enduring charm. To one side, a discreet courtyard arrangement reveals substantial garaging, ancillary outbuildings, a tack room, and a small paddock — an ideal setting for equestrian pursuits or a variety of lifestyle uses, perfectly suited to the discerning buyer seeking a versatile country estate. The residence itself is meticulously designed to harmonise refined living with exceptional leisure facilities. It comprises four to five elegantly proportioned reception rooms alongside a bespoke kitchen, all crafted to the highest standard. At its heart lies an impressive indoor heated swimming pool complex with an adjoining sauna and jacuzzi, offering unparalleled year-round wellness and relaxation. Complementing this, a distinguished snooker and games room provides an elegant space for entertainment and leisure. The principal bedroom suite is a sanctuary of luxury, featuring a sumptuous en suite bathroom and an extensive dressing room. Set within immaculately maintained grounds, the estate is further enhanced by a private tennis court, epitomising the pinnacle of sophisticated country living. At the heart of the grounds lies a walled garden of remarkable beauty, a true haven for the horticultural enthusiast. Richly planted with tall climbing shrubs, clematis, wisteria, magnolia, and a selection of heritage climbing roses, the garden offers a spectacular and ever-evolving seasonal display against the mellow tones of aged brickwork. Beyond the ornamental borders, a productive enclave houses mature fruit trees and established fig trees, combining aesthetic pleasure with quiet practicality.
