House For Sale £3,775,000
Rushmore Hill House is an attractive brick and flint country house believed to date back to the early 19th century with later extensions. The house is believed to have been a coaching inn, replacing a seventeenth century inn known as the 'The Porcupine Inn.'
The house has been refurbished and modernised to a high standard by the current owners, ideal for modern family living. The accommodation extends to over 6,700 sq ft arranged over two floors, the space is well balanced between formal and informal living, and the rooms feature impressive ceiling heights throughout.
The principal reception rooms are accessed off the impressive entrance hall and comprise a dining room, drawing room, sitting room, wood panelled billiard room and the family room. Also on the ground floor is the study. From the family room a set of steps connects through to the leisure complex which has a large swimming pool with bi fold doors that lead out to the terracing. There are two changing rooms and a sauna along with plant and store rooms. The large Smallbone kitchen/breakfast room is well equipped with a central work island. Situated next to the kitchen are the expansive utility room with fitted storage areas and the wine room.
The first floor is approached via a sweeping staircase and offers excellent bedroom accommodation, with a sumptuous principal bedroom suite that consists of a large bedroom and sitting room with French doors opening out to a private balcony overlooking the gardens and ponds, a dressing room and an impressive en suite bathroom with large bath and walk in shower. There are three further bedrooms with en suite bathroom and a further bedroom and family bathroom.
Sitting within the grounds of Rushmore Hill House is the detached two bedroom Gate Cottage, complete with a vaulted reception room, kitchen and bathroom. There is also a double garage attached.
The gardens and grounds are exquisite and an important feature of Rushmore Hill House, complementing the house extremely well. Rushmore Hill House is approached via a pair of tall, wrought iron gates which open up onto an extensive parking area.
Wrapping around the rear of the house is a paved terrace that connects the garden to the house and provides an excellent setting for al fresco dining. From the terrace, steps lead down to the glorious gardens and grounds with mature specimen trees, a walled garden with climbing plants and box hedging. There is also a tennis court which is concealed behind tall hedging and not visible from the house, plunge pool and ponds.
Sitting within the grounds is the former Shooting Lodge which has been fully renovated and has a wood burning stove, the space is very flexible and would work well as a gym building or additional work or living space.
In all the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 5.8 acres.
