Approached along a long, private gated driveway, Saxons is an individual, architecturally designed house of much character, constructed in the late 1980’s and occupying an elevated position, with panoramic views across its own grounds and towards neighbouring countryside. With a most attractive façade, the main house features an impressive entrance with an oriel window above a pillared porch. Adorned with fine oak panelling, this inviting library/drawing room features a comforting fireplace and most impressive oak staircase with a double height window, an ideal place to relax into the evening. The overall layout of the house lends itself to allowing a family various spaces to ‘break-away’ with a triple aspect sitting room on the opposite side of the hallway and on opposing sides of the house, a formal dining room with conservatory with access to the basement TV/cinema room and at the other a large kitchen/breakfast room and utility room. Fitted with an aga, the kitchen includes a range of units, some integrated appliances and enjoys a breakfast area in the glazed extension with access onto the terrace.
Upstairs, there are five bedrooms, of which two are ensuite, with a further family bathroom. The loft space is also noteworthy, being boarded to parts and in one section offering a window, perhaps, subject to planning, allowing scope to increase the size of the property further. The whole house is served by a highly efficient, ground source heat pump system.
Away from the main house, there is also a detached annexe. With triple garaging to one end, this area would well lend itself to occasional guest accommodation, having two bedrooms and two shower rooms, a sitting room and kitchenette area, whilst a vaulted room to the far end makes an ideal home office, with views over a natural wildlife pond.
Falling away to the River Mole, with a section of river frontage, the grounds, of just under 9 acres, provide various areas of formal gardens, which have been well nurtured, places to perch and enjoy the views to the South, established woodland and paddocks, offering scope for equestrian useage which include mature apple trees and are an attraction for local wildlife. Closest to the main house, there is a large terrace, part covered with a pergola and trailing wisteria, which also includes the swimming pool and hot tub. There is also a well maintained and enclosed tennis court.
