The reception hall welcomes you with an oak staircase featuring barley twist spindles that leads to the galleried first floor landing and then to the second floor. The formal dining room has a round bay window and bi fold doors connecting to the hall and kitchen, creating a great space for entertaining and parties. The graceful drawing room has an open fireplace and stairs down to the lower ground floor where you can find the office/gym, wine store and cinema room. The kitchen/breakfast room is spectacular featuring a bespoke Mark Wilkinson kichen, with a wide range of cupboards, drawers and dressers with contrasting granite worktops and oak breakfast bar. It has integrated appliances including an an Aga with companion, twin dishwashers, microwave, waste disposal, and ‘Quooker’ hot water tap. The kitchen has a bay window with overlooks the garden with room for a table and chairs for casual dining, and a family area to sit and relax. The study area leads off the kitchen and has limestone flooring and bespoke Mark Wilkinson fitted furniture. A charming octagonal shaped conservatory overlooking the terrace links to the leisure facility, which is filled with natural light from the large windows and roof lantern. The indoor swimming pool offers a wonderful area for fitness and relaxation with a Jacuzzi and changing facilities at one end; space for a gym can be found on the lower ground floor,
The master bedroom suite is superb, with two fully fitted ‘His and Hers’ dressing rooms and a luxurious en suite bathroom. There are three more bedrooms on this floor, one with an en suite shower room and the others sharing a ‘Jack & Jill’ bathroom. The second floor landing has a large apex window that gives panoramic views over the Misbourne Valley. There are two more bedrooms on this floor, both with well appointed en suite facilities.
Accessed through electric gates leading to the forecourt area in front of the two double garages, there is ample parking for several cars. There is a large terrace with stone balustrade running across the rear of the house, perfect for outdoor entertaining. The terrace overlooks the spacious lawn with many mature trees and shrubs, such as poplars, spruce and cypress, and a wooded dell in one corner. There is a charming folly thought to date from 1813 at the end of the garden, as well as a fish pond with fountain. The property enjoys stunning views across the Misbourne Valley
