A hangar barn is home to indoor stabling. The barn has seven stables with water, wash bay, solarium and a tack room, with a store at first floor level and non-slip rubber matting throughout. The barn extends to over 5,000 sq ft.
There is also a large outdoor all-weather arena. There is elapsed but previously approved planning permission to build a 30x50m indoor school and stable complex with a tractor and hay store.
This property sits in a total of 26 acres with some post and rail paddocks.
There are two entrances into the estate, both with electric gates. The first accesses the southern side of the estate, passing between two lakes to the hangar barn with stables. The main entrance opens to a large courtyard in front of the house. The gardens lie to the south, predominantly laid to lawn with an adjoining split-level terrace. To the east there is mature parkland.
The main house has a Palladian façade with four Corinthian-style, full-height columns to the entrance. A hall extends the full depth of the house and includes a bifurcated staircase.
The south wing includes a drawing room with twin double doors leading onto a stone terrace and overlooking lawned gardens. To the rear is a sitting room also overlooking the gardens.
The north wing, adjoining the hall, includes a kitchen/breakfast room and an inner hall leads to a fitted study and the plant room, a utility room and a cloakroom.
The lower ground floor provides a pool room with in-ground heated pool, steam room, shower room and jacuzzi hot tub.
The first floor has a galleried landing, plus a principal bedroom suite, with en-suite bathroom and dressing room. A stone retained balcony runs along the entire first floor. On the opposite side of the landing are four further bedrooms all of which have en-suite facilities including underfloor heating and a snug.
In addition, there is a traditional brick-built Coach House, which is immediately accessible from the house across a courtyard. Within it are two old stables and a store room to one side and a games room on the other with a groom’s flat above. An inner courtyard separates garaging and workshop.
There is also a detached two-bed cottage, which is situated on the northern edge of the estate.
