Gated from the lane, a sweeping gravel driveway leads up to the front and side of the house where the is ample parking and a double garage.
The house is approximately 5,698 square feet in total, not including the garage, the room above it or the pool rooms.
The accommodation is arranged around a particularly impressive reception hall with a galleried oak staircase that stretches all the way up to the second floor. The principal reception rooms are all an excellent size, the dining room complete with elaborate ceiling plasterwork and the drawing room focusing on an attractive working fireplace also linking back around to the kitchen/family room so creating a pleasant flow.
The well appointed kitchen has been extended to create a large versatile room that can be zoned to create clearly defined dining and seating areas. Bi-folding doors lead out onto the patio and ceiling lanterns make the room naturally light. There is under floor heating throughout the ground floor with radiators on the first and second floors.
On the first floor, there is a large principal bedroom with a bank of built-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom with twin basins, a separate shower and bath. There are three more guest bedrooms on this floor, two of which are en suite and a family bathroom all of which have been recently replaced.
On the second floor, either side of a large central landing, there are two very generous double bedrooms both with impressive vaulted ceilings, en suite shower rooms and the one having a walk-in wardrobe.
Set away from the principal reception spaces there are practical utility rooms, cloakrooms and additional showers as well as two rooms that could be used as studies, sitting rooms, further bedrooms or the whole area could be split to create a self-contained annex.
The gardens are enclosed by mature hedge and tree boundaries, very private and wrap around all sides of the house. Overlooking the pool is a fantastic outdoor bar and dining room accompanied by a compact secondary kitchen and a cloakroom or changing room. Bi-fold doors on two sides of this room allow this room to be opened up to the garden again, creating a wonderful entertaining space.
Services: All mains services are connected. Air source heating for the pool.
