If you value privacy and accessibility, this is a fabulous lifestyle property
from which to base your family. It has an outdoor swimming pool complex and
full - size tennis court whilst, for equestrian enthusiasts, there is stabling
for six horses with associated tack facilities and public bridleways and good
hacking countryside close by. Indeed, it is a past recipient of a National
Hunt Licence. For flight enthusiasts, there is a helipad and 3 - bay steel
portal frame hanger and the property currently lies within unrestricted
airspace. For golfers, Elton Furze Golf Course is just half a mile from the
property.
Accommodation
The house layout was designed for conviviality and for its flow. Double doors
open to the principal reception rooms off a spacious hardwood entrance
stairwell hall. The dining room is dual - aspect. The drawing room the full
width of the house, with two sets of French doors to the swimming pool terrace
and an Ancaster stone fireplace. The study has fitted bookcases, whilst the
spacious kitchen/breakfast room has a solid oak suite beneath granite
worktops, a double oven Aga and separate hob and oven appliances. The sitting
room, alongside the kitchen, has French doors to a terrace and pathway to the
tennis court.
Beyond the drawing room, the games room has a large inglenook housing a wood
burning stove. It adjoins the office and the integral triple garage. Whilst
planning would be required, these rooms were designed with an annex in mind.
The garage is constructed with house joints, whilst the plumbing and
infrastructure is in place beneath the floors.
There are five first floor double bedrooms, three of which are en suite, and a
modern and well appointed family bathroom. A lapsed past planning consent
permitted a first floor bedroom extension over the drawing room.
Outside
A long tarmacadam private lane provides access from Bullock Road to the
property’s electric double gates and continues past the paddocks to the west
of the house and the stable yard beyond it.
The garden lies to the south of the house and swimming pool. Lawned, it
adjoins the post and rail fenced paddocks. With mature trees and shrubs,
pathways lead to the tennis court, and to a naturally fed pond. The swimming
pool is to the south of the house, framed by it u - shaped wings. A stone built
pool room, with a bank of sliding glazed doors, is ideal for alfresco dining
and entertaining, and houses the changing facilities and sauna.
The land wraps around the house and garden to the west, south and east in a
ring - fenced block. There are no public rights of way across the property. With
mature hedgerow boundaries, the paddocks are largely post and rail fenced,
with tapes to sub - divide. The property extends to 35 acres, or thereabouts, in
total.
