• Leisure wing with indoor pool, jacuzzi, gym, sauna and cinema

Set within approximately five acres on prestigious Lindrick Common, this 10,850 sq ft detached house combines grand, formal rooms with a contemporary leisure wing. The main house offers flexible living for a large family: multiple reception rooms, a dining kitchen with high-end appliances, and six bedroom suites across three floors. A self-contained one‑bed studio in the converted outbuilding gives useful guest or staff accommodation.
For family life and entertaining the property excels. The leisure wing includes an indoor pool and jacuzzi, gym, sauna, cinema and extensive terrace overlooking terraced lawns, ornamental ponds and woodland. Grounds include a fenced tennis court, paddock, mature trees, secret garden and a treehouse — plenty of safe outdoor space for children and pets.
Practical details to note: the house uses oil-fired central heating and sits in a very affluent, low-crime area with excellent mobile signal but slow broadband speeds. Council tax is very high, and the overall upkeep and running costs of a property of this scale will be significant. The property is offered freehold and has no flood risk.
This home will suit a large or multi-generational family seeking privacy, leisure facilities and rural living within commutable distance of major routes and stations. It will also appeal to buyers who understand and budget for the running and maintenance demands of a historic-style estate with modern additions.
