West Riddens is a grand, Georgian‑inspired country estate set in about 28 acres of formal gardens, paddocks, orchard and woodland. The principal house (1930s with later additions) offers exceptionally large rooms, high ceilings, numerous fireplaces and generous southern-aspect reception rooms that maximise light and views across the grounds. The estate includes a detached three‑bed cottage, a coach house with a two‑bed flat above and substantial garaging, creating flexible accommodation for family, staff or rental income.
The accommodation suits an extended family or buyers seeking a multi-unit country property: nine bedrooms and six bathrooms in the main house, five principal reception rooms, a superb walnut kitchen/breakfast room with AGA and high‑end appliances, and a principal suite with dressing room. On the estate are an indoor swimming pool complex, tennis court, natural spring‑fed lake and a variety of outbuildings arranged around a courtyard — all providing privacy and country leisure on a large scale.
Energy is supplied primarily by two ground source heat pumps and an air source heat pump, with an oil boiler as backup. The property benefits from full fibre broadband and fast internet speeds for modern connectivity. Practical considerations include private drainage, average mobile signal and a council tax band noted as very expensive (Band H). The house’s original cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, so buyers should factor potential energy‑efficiency improvements into any refurbishment plans.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well‑proportioned country estate close to local amenities and good schools, ideal for multigenerational living, a family seeking substantial outdoor space, or a purchaser wanting a lifestyle property with ancillary income potential. The scale and age of the buildings mean routine maintenance and sympathetic updating may be required to suit contemporary standards.
