Whilst this is first and foremost a family home, from the moment you enter the Reception Hall you are aware this is a special property with retained features of architectural and historic interest. The original fireplace in the Hall has carved timbers bearing The Tudor Rose with Arrows and panel and high ceilings abound with exposed wall and ceiling beams.
The current owners have lovingly refurbished it with a clever juxtaposition of preserved original features and contemporary fittings.The layout has also been improved to allow for family living.Beautifully decorated throughout this a stunning home.
To the left and right of the Reception Hall with welcoming fireplace are two further receptions rooms used a a study and cosy sitting room
A grand Drawing Room to the rear with high ceilings sits adjacent to a beautiful contemporary kitchen with its granite island and state of the art units together with breakfast bar and bi-folding doors which can be fully opened onto a large sun terrace with the most glorious views over the gardens and surrounding countryside.
Internal steps lead down to a lower level where there is a studio/gym/entertaining area again with bi-folding doors opening onto another sun deck with heated swimming pool.
Easy rising stairs from the Reception Hall lead onto a large first floor landing where you will find 5 double bedrooms with a gorgeous en-suite and large beautifully appointed family bathroom. Bedroom 5 is currently used as a dresing room which could easily be converted back if required.
The gardens are a delight backing onto a wooded backdrop and lawned with an orchard and two paddocks with stables and separate vehicular access.
