Set behind private gates on about three acres, this newly renovated Grade II listed country house blends historic grandeur with contemporary comfort. More than 8,600 sq ft across four floors provides formal reception rooms, family living spaces, an impressive orangery and a substantial spa complex—designed for large-scale entertaining and everyday family life alike.
Period detail is exceptional: sash windows, cornicing, ornate fireplaces, a Corinthian-columned entrance portico and a dramatic Great Hall with sweeping staircase. The bespoke shaker kitchen, extensive terraces, secondary family wing and multiple bedroom suites—including a principal suite and versatile attic/loft accommodation—deliver flexible living for multigenerational households or frequent guests.
Leisure facilities are a major draw: a lower-ground spa with endless pool, gym and sauna; an outdoor swimming pool with hot tub; a summer house and a floodlit tennis court. Practical features include a double garage, workshop, extensive parking and fast broadband—useful for remote working or running a household of this scale.
Buyers should note the material responsibilities that come with an estate of this type. Its Grade II listing preserves exceptional features but imposes constraints on alterations and may complicate repair work. Running and maintenance costs will be high (very expensive council tax, extensive grounds upkeep, and higher utility/servicing budgets). Overall this is a rare opportunity for a purchaser seeking a restored architectural landmark with private, countryside living rather than a low-maintenance property.
