High ceilings, wide hallways and a magnificent open staircase give a light, uncluttered feel. This is THE place for Celebrations.
There's a deliciously inviting kitchen with the largest work island and superbly kitted out and, on cooler days you can cosy up and chat to the cook here by the wood stove. This house is perfect for families travelling together with that big kitchen in which to cook and chat or cosy up by the fire.
Glide up the generous ok staircase and follow the stream of light to bedrooms. Six bedrooms and a dressing room with a sofa bed fan out across two floors; all are bathed in natural light with a sprinkling of antiques, good art, pretty fabrics.
Warm colours and an eclectic mix carry through to the dining and drawing rooms. The Drawing Room and Snug is a roomy space with access to the outside (please note that the fire is not available until 2026 due to an issue with nesting birds in the flue). The snug section has a massive TV and the sliding doors can create a cocoon for film nights. A handy WC cloaks is in the corridor right next door. The dining room is a grand old place for celebrations with a resplendent window and a vast table.
It is not short of a few bathrooms either. The first-floor master bedroom ensuite bathroom is vast and has a huge old bath and a sparkling shower and great views. There is a “jack and Jill” ensuite for the green and pink bedrooms and another ensuite in the mustard room.
Trot up the winding stairs to the top floor to find a dressing room area with a sofa bed (double) and a single trundle. Both can be added on, and the children will love this space. should the group need more space. There are two panelled bathrooms up here – one with a bath up in the Gods.
Outside are sloping lawns, a walled garden and meadows. A graceful wrought-iron gate leads you to the sheltered walled space – this is your own Secret Garden. Wander through the walled doorway through to lush green walks around your estate. Or drink in the fragrance of the summer flowers and rest. Please note the gardens are not secure for dogs
Pack a yoga mat - there's a space to use, take a walk in the oak filled woods or grab a snooze in the walled garden.
Explore acres of grounds while the kids tumble about safely. Ancient trees provide shade, birds twitter and you can stroll for ages looking for red squirrels. You can sip a cool drink by the fire and never go out.
