House For Sale £6,500,000
Exceptional luxury.
Description
Access to the property is reached via a pair of substantial electric gates and a long driveway leading to the house, which is set back from the lane in mature, secluded grounds of approximately 6.9 acres and protected by a bank of mature trees. It is a substantial house, constructed around 23 years ago to an exceptionally high standard and its design echoes the proportions of an Elizabethan manor house.
Over the past three years the entire house and grounds have been the subject of a comprehensive programme of remodelling and refurbishment, completed to an extraordinarily high standard and very rarely seen. The extensive programme of works has included the installation of replacement aluminium windows in the Crittal style by The Heritage Window Company, a stunning Roundhouse-designed kitchen with Gaggenau appliances and an impressive and very elegant air-conditioned principal bedroom suite occupying the entire top floor.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors overlooking the gardens and private woodland. The ground floor rooms include a beautiful reception hall and magnificent staircase leading to a galleried landing, a wonderful kitchen/breakfast room opening out into a contemporary orangery and family room/snug, a south-west facing drawing room, a dining room with a stylish Chesney fireplace, a billiard room and champagne bar and an office with bespoke furniture. A laundry room and indoor pool complex with doors giving out on to the outside pool and entertaining area are situated at the other end of the house.
The first floor is of reinforced concrete construction and provides five principal bedroom suites, (including two guest suites) and a family bathroom. The second floor extends to over 1,600 square feet and is configured as a luxurious principal bedroom suite incorporating a dressing room designed and installed by Orwells of Ipswich, a generous Salvatori marble bathroom and a private rooftop balcony.
Other facilities include an outstanding indoor pool and spa complex with multi jet spa, eefe Body Love steam room and sauna, biofuel fire and heated loungers, a splendid outdoor pool with Tikki bar, outdoor shower and a large composite deck giving on to a substantial terrace with a sunken fire pit and lounge area with Paloform remote controlled fire and a Grillo outdoor kitchen with pizza oven, BBQ and chef's anvil. This terrace leads onto extensive lawns (with pop-up sprinkler system) which are enclosed by a delightful area of woodland including a Highlife treehouse with zip wire, rope bridge, play area and in-ground trampoline. A re-surfaced all-weather tennis court lies to the north-east and a synthetic putting green and bunker to the south-west.
The adjoining coach house-style garage with bell tower includes a studio flat providing ideal accommodation for extended family, guests or staff and there is also a detached two-bedroom bungalow on the western side of the grounds. Other buildings include a purpose-built gym and a three bay cart lodge on the eastern side.
