Description
The House
Woodham Mortimer Place is an elegant Grade II listed Georgian house, approached through wrought iron gates set within stone piers and along a sweeping driveway which winds through the grounds to the house.
The property has a handsome Georgian façade, constructed in Gault brick and stucco, and is surrounded by mature gardens, paddocks and well-maintained agricultural land, creating a private and peaceful rural setting.
The origins of the house date from the 17th century or earlier, with the original building being timber framed and plastered beneath a pitched slate roof. Formerly the home of the Parker family, the property was subsequently extended and used as offices before undergoing substantial refurbishment and returning to use as a private family home.
The accommodation is beautifully proportioned, with light-filled reception rooms and generous bedroom accommodation arranged over the first and second floors. The principal reception rooms include an impressive reception hall, drawing room, dining room, library, study, kitchen/breakfast room and sitting room.
The drawing room is particularly attractive, with an open fireplace, decorative cornices and a charming bay formed by three French doors opening directly onto the gardens. To the rear of the house is an extensive leisure wing, comprising a sitting room, billiards room, games room, gym and studio.
The principal bedroom suite is generously appointed and includes twin dressing rooms and bathrooms. A further guest bedroom benefits from an ensuite dressing room, while four additional bedrooms are served by two family bathrooms.
The accommodation provides considerable flexibility for family living and entertaining, with the scale and arrangement of the house lending itself equally well to both formal occasions and relaxed country living.
The leisure accommodation includes an indoor swimming pool, billiards room, games room, gym and studio, while outside there is a tennis court, all-weather ménage and summer house.
The property also benefits from a separate one-bedroom cottage, a stable block, traditional barn, garages and additional storage, providing a versatile range of ancillary accommodation and outbuildings.
Gardens and Grounds
The house is set within approximately 16.66 acres of mature gardens, grounds and paddocks. The approach to the property is particularly impressive, with the long driveway providing a sense of privacy and arrival as it winds through the grounds towards the house.
The gardens are established and well maintained, with mature planting and lawns surrounding the principal house, together with a pond and paddocks extending into the wider grounds.
The combination of formal and informal areas, extensive leisure facilities and open countryside creates an exceptional setting for outdoor recreation, entertaining and family life.
Services
These include mains water and electricity, with a private drainage system and oil-fired central heating.
