6 bedroom house for sale

Adjoining pretty, local countryside and set along a quiet, private access lane, a fine country house of character and great charm. Approached by a sweeping drive with its gardens and grounds spreading out before it, the house is a spacious and light-filled home with elegant reception areas and sociable family living and entertaining space alike. Possibly originating from the eighteenth century, the property has had various additions over time, but more recently has been expertly extended and refurbished by the present owners. Exteriors are of white painted brick and tile handing under a pitched, tiled roof, whilst windows are very attractive leaded light casements with those on the upper level being of an earlier, single glazed vintage. The bright and spacious accommodation is laid out over two floors, extending to approximately 4,191 square feet – together with 2,552 square feet of outbuildings - and features sophisticated styling throughout. Warm, honey coloured oak has been used for the internal doors, staircase and architraving with large, marble floor tiles laid throughout the reception and lower halls, as well as in the kitchen/breakfast room and utility having electric under floor heating. Leading off from the reception hall with vaulted ceiling and galleried landing, reception areas are gracious and include a fine double reception room - where there is a double-sided wood burning stove shared with the dining room and a fabulous orangery, with under floor heating and is the perfect spot to take in the views over the grounds. The characterful dining room has floor to ceiling oak book shelving which contains a concealed door opening to a side hall with access to bedroom 6 (with a separate access) and a further smaller reception room. Handmade cabinetry and a large central island in the kitchen/breakfast room is in light oak with substantial, bevelled edged granite work surfaces and integrated appliances by Neff. Arranged over the first floor are five bedrooms supported by four well-fitted bath/shower rooms, three of which are en-suite. The principal bedroom is a large space enjoying a dual aspect and has a walk-in closet along with the en-suite shower room.
