Exploring the inside

This former 1950’s cottage has been transformed to create a five bedroomed family home. The property comes with a wide range of sporting and leisure facilities and is set in 5.22 acres (stms).

‘We developed this home to suit a family. It’s a real party house and you have all of the facilities you need on your doorstep.’

The games room is great. It has a bar and plenty of room for indoor games. It has direct access to the outside courtyard. ‘One of the features of this house is that all of the rooms have access to one of the courtyards.’ The kitchen is large, has a breakfast bar and is great for cooking and conversation. There is plenty of space to put a table if you wished but there is a walk through directly to the dining room. This has plenty of space for a grand family occasion or for entertaining friends.

The lounge is T shaped and is of a really decent size. The central feature is the inglenook fireplace, now housing a wood burner. ‘This keeps us warm on chilly days and we love it.’ There is an office downstairs, and this has good storage as well as access to the outside courtyard. The garden room and conservatory are additional reception areas, and they link to the pool complex.

Everything looks out and has access to the inner courtyard. Upstairs you have five bedrooms, three with en-suites and a family bathroom.

The master bedroom has a great steam shower en-suite and triple aspect views. The other bedrooms are large and airy, two have storage but all have magnificent views. You are spoilt for choice in this house.

Looking around outside

The wrought iron railings and large gates give you access to the gravelled driveway. There are four garages, one of which is used as a workshop. They have electronically controlled doors. This area is like an outside courtyard and is most welcoming. A centrepiece of the plot is the avenue of brick weave block paving with its French avenue style lights. This leads to the lawned areas and the carp lake, which is well-stocked. The lake has a summer house and pontoon and is surrounded by lawned areas. ‘We also have clay pigeon and archery facilities which we set up in the garden.’ A magnificent feature to one end of the lake is the Canadian maple trees. There is an orchard of fruit trees including apple, pear and plum and a walnut tree. This leads to another lawned area with a beautiful mulberry tree as a centrepiece. The vegetable and herb gardens are close by. The avenue also leads to an all-weather tennis court which has a summer house of its own and a raised patio area with fountain that gives splendid views of the court.

The inner courtyard is accessible from most of the downstairs rooms in the house and has a BBQ area and gazebo. ‘This is a great area for entertaining and catching the sun which is here all day long.’ The swimming pool has bi-fold doors which open out into the inner courtyard, as does the garden room and conservatory, the latter housing the sauna and hot tub.

This house has something of everything to keep you entertained and active or simply to soak in the countryside atmosphere and relax in the glorious grounds.
