Privately located within a small country estate, Field House is surrounded by rolling greenbelt countryside yet is within 1 mile of mainline rail and local facilities. Originally built as a leisure complex for the main house in Skeynes Park, the property was converted in 1995 resulting in a superb barn style residence offering truly versatile living. With lofty vaulted ceilings and the ability to easily alter the room layouts in the main house, together with a detached cottage and an office/studio, the expansive accommodation offers very flexible space, suitable for families of all ages. Inside, the generous hall gives access to the cloakroom and the principal reception rooms. The main reception area is a magnificent space, having a vaulted ceiling, with a minstrel’s gallery overlooking the room. Currently utilised as a sitting/dining area, there is a door to the kitchen, which offers potential to expand the space if more open plan is required. The dual aspect kitchen/breakfast is well fitted with a range of bespoke Harvey Jones cabinets and gives access to the utility room. Also on the ground floor is the family room, a guest room with en-suite bathroom, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom, both bathrooms having underfloor heating. Stairs rise to the first floor where two exceptionally spacious rooms are linked by a large minstrels galleried landing. Each has large windows spanning the area, flooding the rooms with light and affording views over the beautiful gardens and surrounding countryside. Luxuriously appointed, the main bedroom has a walk-in dressing room and a recently refitted en-suite bathroom. To the other side of the gallery is the capacious, double aspect drawing room which enjoys further garden and countryside views. Outside, the property is approached over the Skeynes Park drive which leads to the property’s private driveway. Attractively paved in herringbone brick, the drive leads past the triple garage block (which has loft storage above) and a machinery shed/workshop, into a gated courtyard which provides parking and turning for numerous vehicles. To the side of the drive is a detached, two-bedroom single storey cottage with a living/dining room, bathroom and kitchen, perfect for guests or a possible income stream.
Adjacent to the house is a useful detached annexe/studio, with a kitchenette and WC, ideal as a home office. Surrounding the house, the beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds form a particularly desirable feature. Predominantly south facing, they were designed by Nigel Phillips, a Chelsea Flower Show medalist garden designer and offer cleverly planned paths, delightful seating areas and an Amdega summer house, all interspaced with formally planted beds and borders. From here, the sweeping lawns flow to the large pond, which has a decked seating area from which to enjoy the wildlife and the more naturalised gardens beyond

Situated in a splendid rural location enjoying delightful far reaching views across surrounding countryside.
