The existing L-shaped layout offers significant scope for upgrading and remodeling, or, alternatively, there is approved planning permission to build a stunning new home with a gross internal area of approximately 16,300 sqft (about 1,514 sqm), along with a replacement garden cottage of about 940 sqft (around 87 sqm), ideal for staff or guest accommodation.
Upon arrival, the grand entrance features twin brick pillars supporting ornate black metal gates that open to a sweeping driveway. Flanked by mature trees and manicured lawns, the driveway leads to the main residence. A glazed conservatory on the side of the house offers picturesque views of the surrounding landscape.
Inside, the property spans an impressive 6,599 square feet, offering flexible accommodation over three floors. The ground floor features an elegant drawing room bathed in natural light, a formal dining room with French doors leading to the gardens, and a kitchen and breakfast room with a traditional design. A utility room, study, and family room complete the ground floor.
The first floor offers four generously sized bedrooms, each with ample storage and natural light, a preparation kitchen and four well-appointed bathrooms/en-suites. The second floor is dedicated to living, with a large bedroom suite and a further bathroom.
