DESCRIPTION Cogshall Grange is an elegant country house built in the same period as the neighbouring Cogshall Hall, in the Georgian style. It is constructed of mellow Cheshire brick, sitting on a sandstone plinth under a grey slated parapet roof with octagonal cupola. The Grange has large original style sash windows puncturing the elevations and a large arch-topped picture window to the drawing room. These windows flood the exceptional quality interior with natural light. The front door, with large fan light above, opens to an elegant entrance hall, with oak boarded floor reaching to the drawing room and dining room, and a sweeping cantilevered staircase. To the right of the hall, double doors lead to the huge drawing room, with open fireplace with carved stone surround and painted bookcases. To the left, a second set of double doors lead to the large dining room with coved ceiling, with door to the inner hall. This hall leads to the utility room, WC and kitchen/ breakfast room. The kitchen is stunning with painted units, surmounted by granite worksurfaces, with a two oven Aga and Belfast sink. There is a large central island unit with breakfast bar. Open-plan to the kitchen is an amazing morning room and garden room, constructed of glass and sheeted bronze, designed by the leading architect Jamie Fobert. This is a really fabulous space, with a glazed west-facing wall with sliding doors allowing views of and access to the walled garden. This stunning tranquil area has stone flooring and a high ceiling, with a dividing wall segmenting the morning room from the garden room. The garden room links to the entrance hall of the office suite/ancillary accommodation. To the rear of The Grange sits a cobbled courtyard, with Cogshall Cottage to the north side and the office and party suite to the west. COGSHALL COTTAGE Cogshall Cottage forms part of the rear section of the courtyard that lies behind Cogshall Grange. It has been beautifully fitted with an abundance of oak, having solid oak doors and staircase, with stunning stone flooring. The kitchen/breakfast room has a burr oak kitchen with granite worksurfaces and a two oven Aga. There is a cosy sitting room with oak floor and a wood burning stove built into a large inglenook fireplace. Also on the ground floor is a utility room, two WCs and a second reception room with its own access off the courtyard. At present this room serves as an office. The first floor has three good sized bedrooms, two bath/shower rooms, with a study/library area on the first floor landing.

OFFICE SUITE The west-facing side of the courtyard comprises the office suite, with entrances both off the courtyard and integrally via the garden room of The Grange, giving a high degree of flexibility on how this space can be utilised. The ground floor has a WC and communication room off the hall, with a magnificent boardroom with an arch-topped picture window overlooking the courtyard. The first floor has two double bedrooms, both of which are en suite. This space is, at present, used as offices to the ground floor and overspill accommodation to the first floor, but could easily become another cottage/staff accommodation.

PARTY SUITE The party suite is superb, again accessed off the rear courtyard, with its own entrance hall with oak flooring and oak stairs leading to the first floor. To the ground floor there is a catering kitchen with burr oak units, granite worksurfaces, Lacanche range and a WC. The massive party room is located on the first floor, with impressive king-post trusses, oak floor, surround sound and a large arch-topped picture window to the gable end, overlooking the gardens.

GARDENS & GROUNDS The gardens at Cogshall Grange have been the subject of a sympathetic scheme of restoration. RHS Chelsea multi gold- winning garden designer Tom Stuart-Smith was commissioned to create a contemporary garden setting for the property and what a totally breathtaking job he has done. The Grange is encompassed by its wonderful gardens and grounds, providing a very secure and private environment in which to reside. The gated entrance opens into a long driveway, flanked by mature oak trees and lawns to one side and a beautiful ribbon lake with specimen trees draping the banks to the other. Behind the lake is an orchard with large specimen trees, under-planted by wildflower gardens which can be viewed from mown pathways. The crowning glory of the gardens is the south and west facing walled garden, which has been the main focus of designer, Tom Stuart-Smith. The garden has an innovative mix of modern planting within the formal setting of the walls. Upon opening one of the three modern bronze leaf motif gates is a glimpse of eleven cloud pruned hornbeam trees, beneath which is dense foliage rich planting. These overlook a long rectangular reflection pool, with a matching rectangular space planted with grass, giving the garden a free and organic feel. Gravel paths wind their way through a paint box full of colour provided by the abundance of herbaceous borders, all encompassed by a mellow red brick wall, that itself is adorned by trained fruit trees and wisteria. Overlooking this serene and contemplative garden is Jamie Fobert’s garden room and morning room, which form part of The Grange, and a pavilion made from sheets of bronze, which provides a covered barbecue/seating area in which to enjoy the garden. To the rear of The Grange is a beautiful cobbled courtyard, formed by The Grange, the cottage and the office suite. To the centre of the courtyard is an ornamental pond. 43.0m
