5 bedroom country house for sale

The Meadows is a substantial five-bedroom detached property offering over 5,000 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation, together with a detached double garage and office above. Extensively renovated by the current owners, the property is approached a long driveway with turning circle. Standing in approximately 8.5 acres (subject to measurement), The Meadows has been thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of modern family life, with generous living spaces, practical layouts, and excellent outdoor facilities.

A spacious reception hallway with a bespoke solid oak staircase and a striking contemporary spiral staircase provides an impressive introduction to the home.

An adjoining vaulted living/dining space, with bi-fold doors to the terrace, creates a fantastic setting for family gatherings and entertaining. The flow of the ground floor accommodation is both highly practical and perfectly suited for hosting, offering seamless transitions between formal rooms, relaxed family areas, and outdoor terraces.

The property is surrounded by formal lawned gardens and paved terraces, ideal for entertaining or relaxing outdoors. In total, the grounds extend to around 8.5 acres (subject to measurement). One paddock, with independent access, hardstanding, and a tractor store, is currently mown for practical use, while the second is enjoyed as a wildflower meadow with a natural pond. The detached double garage with office space above provides excellent flexibility, whether for home working or hobbies.
