A classical Grade II listed country house set in an elevated position overlooking its own land and with the benefit of a two bedroom cottage. This is a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional house, which the current owners have been living in for the last 32 years, and has been a much loved family house. The house is Grade II listed dating from the late 18th century with its classical symmetrical north west front of two storeys with a brick porch with parapet. There are also substantial additions in the early 1900s. The property is constructed of brick walls of Flemish bond under a tile roof. There are lovely sash windows creating excellent light to the rooms, as well as giving views of the gardens and grounds. The house is approached by a long drive, leading past the annexe, rising to a sweeping circular parking area with a circular lawned area with an ornate water feature. There is a wealth of period features throughout the house and the well-proportioned accommodation is arranged over three floors and can be seen on the floor plans. Situated to the southwest of the house, with a separate access from the main drive, is the courtyard of outbuildings, constructed of brick and flint with a tile roof, and comprise a collection of stores, stables and garages. There is also the very useful recently renovated two-bedroom stable cottage, ideal for family or staff use. The garden and grounds are one of the features of the property and create a stunning backdrop. They are mainly lawned with a variety of well stocked herbaceous borders and mature trees. There is a hard tennis court. To the front of the house and beyond the driveway are well established post and railed paddocks, which are ideal for horses, as there is a shelter in the paddock below the house.
