This magnificent Victorian country house was built in around 1884, possibly for a wealthy Dutch family owing to a number of characteristics, which include the belfry and stained glass windows, some of which are believed to date back to 1665. The house itself, which is not listed, is in imposing Bargate stone with hanging tiled elevations and broad window bays taking full advantage of the elevated aspect this property enjoys.
In addition to the three impressive main reception rooms, there is a grand central staircase hall and a fabulous large open plan kitchen/breakfast room with doors out to the extensive terrace. Leisure facilities include a 15m x 10m indoor pool with a spa, steam room, shower room, and changing rooms, together with an excellent first floor games room/gym.

The grounds extend to approximately 2.7 acres and are laid mainly to lawn and bounded by mature trees, with a bridleway and a large belt of woodland, affording the property greater privacy. There are 3 ponds in the main garden, with the largest stocked with numerous mature lilies, Koi carp, and other freshwater fish, fed by a filtering pond with a mini waterfall and draining through a larger boulder-clad waterfall into a fully pumped drainage pond.
A further pond lies in the grounds and a further mature rockery garden/ornamental stream is well stocked with herbaceous beds, shrub beds, and mature horse chestnut and Douglas firs, leading to the garages via a flight of stone stairs and a ‘hidden‘ secondary external stairway.
