About this property
*SALE AGREED BY HAMPTONS* A major portion of an impressive Arts and Crafts country house that has been fully renovated to an exceptional standard with the added charm of a wealth of original features.
Superbly located in a tranquil rural setting and within 16 acres of parkland and formal grounds. The North Wing is the major portion of the house and located on the side with its own private entrance at the front of the property but spanning the whole depth of the house to the back.
On entering you are greeted by a bright entrance hall with cloakroom and 5 stained glass windows depicting birds; believed to be by the famous Victorian stained glass window artist Charles Eamer Kemp and which are a feature throughout the house. Continuing up there is a larger reception hall with seating area and dramatic oak and painted staircase and the reception rooms lead off from here. A superb drawing room is located at the rear of the property with stunning built in bookcases and cabinets and a huge floor to ceiling bay provides patio doors to the large private terrace and garden. The ceiling of the drawing room is painted with an original period fresco depicting cherubs and there is an impressive fireplace. To the front is a snug TV/sitting room with large built in period cupboards and high ceilings. A further cloakroom is situated off the large reception hall. The kitchen dining room is a striking room with a large stone mullion bay window with original oak seating and 10 Kemp stained glass windows in the form of virtues; like honesty and wisdom. As well as the incredible bay window there is the original ornamental plasterwork ceiling which is a very unique feature of this otherwise modern kitchen/dining room. The kitchen is Clive Christian oak and painted with a large central oak island and black granite top. There is integrated Sub-Zero fridge freezers, dish washer, hob, Miele/Gaggenau microwave, steam oven and coffee machine. The kitchen also has a black economical electric Aga for additional cooking. Patio doors lead onto the private terrace. On the first floor there is a master bedroom with built in Clive Christian wardrobes and a beautiful modern marble ensuite bath/showe
