Hartwell House is a substantial contemporary country residence set in about 6.7 acres, quietly positioned with open farmland views. The main house extends to roughly 5,000 sq ft and was built in the 1980s, remodelled in 2010 and improved more recently, combining modern fittings with character features such as engineered oak floors and three wood-burning stoves.
The layout suits a large family or multi-generational living. The principal accommodation includes generous reception rooms, a high-spec shaker kitchen with integrated appliances, a games room and home office. An attached annexe — previously used as a holiday let — is finished to the same standard and offers independent living or rental potential. Extensive gated parking, double garage, a detached barn, tack room, six loose boxes and post-and-rail fenced paddocks make the estate particularly well suited to equestrian use or small-scale hobby farming.
Practical points that matter: heating is oil-fired with two separate systems (house and annexe), the EPC is D, and broadband is reported as slow despite an Ofcom superfast apex reference. Council tax is high (main house Band G; annexe Band A). The property is offered freehold with no onward chain, but buyers should allow for ongoing estate maintenance given the size of the house, outbuildings and grounds.
Overall this is a private, high‑quality family home with significant outdoor facilities and versatile accommodation. It will appeal to buyers seeking country living with space for horses, guests or a small income stream from the annexe, and who are comfortable with traditional rural running costs and maintenance.
