About this property
A sweeping driveway introduces the home in dramatic fashion, gradually revealing the full scale of the property through a canopy of trees. At the heart of the estate sits the main residence: A stately, light-filled home designed for both grand entertaining and refined everyday living.
The reception hall, with its soaring ceilings and rear-facing windows, sets an impressive tone. Every detail - from the picture-lit corridors to the heritage-inspired finishes - has been thoughtfully curated. The formal living room enjoys dual-aspect garden views through a spectacular bay window, while the study offers a peaceful space for work or retreat.
The ground floor features a series of beautifully connected living spaces, including a character-filled dining room with exposed oak beams, a welcoming family room, and a stunning south-facing sunroom that opens onto manicured lawns via French doors. At the centre of it all is the grand country kitchen, complete with a cast-iron aga, oak beams, and stained-glass doors - the perfect hub for family life.
An internal corridor leads to one of the estate’s most extraordinary features: A private leisure and entertainment wing. A heated indoor pool stretches the full length of the east wing, framed by a vaulted oak-beamed ceiling and Ackworth stone. Adjacent spa facilities include a sauna, steam room, and changing suites. Above, the snooker room - complete with full-sized table and private bar - overlooks the pool, creating a truly unique entertainment experience.
Upstairs, seven generously sized bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for family and guests. The principal suite is a true sanctuary, featuring garden views in two directions, a luxurious en-suite with twin vanities, and a spa-style bath. Three bedrooms have private en-suites, while two additional bathrooms serve the rest of the floor.
Beyond the main house lies a charming self-contained annexe with its own kitchen, living space, two bedrooms, and bathroom - ideal for extended family, guests, or staff. The gated courtyard includes extensive parking, a double garage, carport, stables, and outbuildings.
The grounds are as impressive as the interiors: Landscaped lawns, a large ornamental pond with fountain, a resurfaced tennis court, and a productive orchard filled with apples, pears, cherries, and plums. A ha-ha and arched bridge lead into the wider parkland, with woodland trails and a fenced paddock completing the estate.
Discreet, distinguished, and designed for a life well lived, this is not just a home - it’s a private country retreat of the highest calibre. A rare opportunity to acquire a truly special property that balances grandeur, comfort, and lifestyle in perfect harmony.
