Quornden Quornden, positioned at the head of a long sweeping drive is a fine example of a handsome Georgian style country house that dates back to the early 20th Century. It is a very well-built house, constructed of brick under a tile roof. The accommodation extends to over 7,500 sq ft arranged over three floors. The current owners purchased the property over 20 years ago and have since carried out extensive work including the addition of a stunning orangery in 2012. The principal reception rooms are accessed off the reception hall, filled with light from the large French windows that lead out onto the south facing formal terrace which is flanked by grand columns. Quornden offers a great balance between formal and informal accommodation with consistently good ceiling heights. The formal reception rooms' proportions allow entertaining on a grand scale and their large windows give glorious views over the gardens and grounds. The vast Chamber designed kitchen/breakfast room is well equipped with a central work island and fitted Gaggenau appliances and a oil fired Aga. There is also a secondary oven and fridge freezer that can be found in the utility room. The addition of the orangery provides an impressive central core to the house, being triple aspect and with access to outside, connecting the house to the garden and grounds. Beyond the kitchen is a family/ sitting room that leads to a study and cloakroom. Also accessed via the ground floor is the wine cellar.

The first floor is well served with exceptional accommodation. There is a generous principal bedroom suite with a bedroom, en suite bathroom and extensive bespoke wardrobes. There are four further bedrooms on the first floor, all serviced by their own bathrooms. The second floor provides versatile space, currently arranged with four further bedrooms, store rooms and attic space.
