DESCRIPTION: These two substantial sized link detached modern bespoke built family country residences combine to make up an idyllically located and a uniquely secluded small country estate, which benefits from the most fabulous mature landscaped gardens and grounds that are understood to total approximately 11.5 acres (to be verified), as well as having parts of the grounds encapsulated by delightful and alluring water features.
Both properties are approached through an imposing private entrance that is set off a quiet country lane. Once through the electrically operated elegant metal gates which are encompassed by two impressive brick built pillars, you are immediately enchanted by an almost magical and secret oasis of stunningly beautiful mature park style grounds, which include a variety of delightful long established water features, in addition to a meandering and extensive tarmacadam driveway which leads you on through these beautiful parklike grounds and beyond past the treeline and to be greeted by an incredible vista of two large bespoke modern country family residences, which are centrally located within this fascinating and unique bespoke modern country estate, which is considered also perfect for a joint, or extended family purchase.

Beyond the substantial formal gardens are two large potential grazing paddocks, one of which already has some existing stabling, making this country setting also perfect for future equestrian use. Especially, as there is ample land space, subject to planning for a menage to be created, as well as other additional equestrian facilities if ever required by future potential owners.
Beyond the main gardens and grounds are further views of adjoining farmland and woodlands.

1. To enhance the two existing properties into one large conversion with perhaps more modern exterior and interior finishes.

OUTSIDE: This impressive and substantial sized modern family residence enjoys a long tarmacadam driveway, originally starting a considerable distance away from the main residences, beginning at a pair of elegant and substantial sized metal electric private entry gates, which have imposing twin brick pillars either side. After which, then this long tarmacadam driveway meanders through the fabulously created stunning and mature park style grounds, as well as including the passing by, between and over a number of beautiful long established water features. This splendid and intriguing private driveway, then leads out beyond the treeline and the additional mature shrubbery, to be met by a fabulous vista of two large and unique modern bespoke very impressive country residences, built originally in the 1960’s, both of which have parking areas for a number of vehicles directly in front of their own double garages located beyond an intricately designed and eye-catching feature manicured central boxed hedged island.
This particular detached five double bedroomed family residence, also benefits from a large side sun terrace, which can easily cater for a number of sun loungers and which is encapsulated by rustic retaining walls that abutt the manicured lawns and shrubs beyond.
The entire gardens and grounds linked to this particular property and indeed also in conjunction of the adjoining bespoke second residence, are understood to total approximately 11.5 acres (To be verified). Furthermore, some of the grounds beyond the beautiful established park styled landscaping, could also be considered suitable for grazing horses, if ever required. Indeed, there are already existing stables in the first area considered suitable for grazing.
Furthermore, the rear gardens and grounds beyond the stunning wisteria walk and numerous specimen trees, in addition to the extensive lawned areas, are graced by both an outdoor swimming pool, as well as an all-weather tennis court.
Also forming part of the rear landscaped gardens and almost as if secretly hidden away, is a delightful detached old rustic brick-built pavilion building located near the old lake and the associated stream, which still fuels the properties idyllic existing water features. In actual fact, we are informed that these beautiful waterways are also frequented by wild brown trout.
Historically, this bespoke and private modern country estate, was originally created by two renowned and well-respected builders who quite clearly enjoyed both gardening and fishing. This being the case, and so much so, they had in addition to establishing fabulous gardens, also constructed a once quite sizable fishing lake located to the far-left hand side of the rear gardens. However, unfortunately over the decades, this lake has ceased to exist, although there are a number of photographic records which are able confirm the lakes previous existence, especially if a keen fisherman were to be enthusiastically interested in purchasing this bespoke country estate to reinstate this particular large water feature.
