5 bedroom house for sale

High Lane House is a substantial Horton stone period home with mullion leaded windows, dating in part from the 1600s. Extending to over 5,000 sq ft across two floors, the light-filled accommodation includes a separate annexe and has been meticulously renovated over the past 15 years, retaining a wealth of original features such as exposed beams, oak floors and doors, original brickwork and cast iron radiators, complemented by integrated sound systems.

The ground floor offers a well-balanced arrangement of reception rooms, including a large family room opening onto the terraces and gardens, a double-aspect kitchen/breakfast room fitted with hand-built Wycliffe oak units, granite worktops and an Aga, and a series of interconnecting dining, drawing and reception rooms, many enjoying garden views and access to outside. Feature fireplaces, including an inglenook, add further character throughout.

A notable feature of the house is the impressive indoor spa complex, comprising a swimming pool, jacuzzi, wet room and changing facilities, with direct access to a sun terrace and lake beyond. Above, a mezzanine level incorporates a fully equipped gym and sitting area with bar and balcony overlooking the water, with scope for further bedroom accommodation if required.

The principal bedroom suites are arranged in the east wing, including three double bedrooms, all with en suite facilities. The principal suite benefits from a dressing area and freestanding bath, while a further study or additional bedroom is located off the galleried landing. The house is comprehensively protected by a Chubb security system and CCTV throughout.

Set above the detached double garage, the annexe provides independent accommodation with a double bedroom, en suite shower room and open-plan kitchen/living space overlooking the lake, making it ideal for guests, staff or ancillary use.
