Unexpectedly re-available. Exceptional equestrian house situated on grounds of about 5.24 acres.

Description
The property is approached over a long tree-lined driveway leading up to the property and into a parking and turning area in front of the house and garaging. The accommodation is approached through a large welcoming reception hall with central galleried staircase opening to the dining room, doors to kitchen/breakfast room and drawing room. The drawing room is a magnificent room with feature fireplace with fitted wood burner and two pairs of double doors that lead out on to the rear terrace; the decking of which has been recently installed. The dining room is a very good size, again with double doors on to the rear terrace. There is a large kitchen/breakfast room fitted with a range of Shaker style units with granite work surfaces and a central island with a wooden work surface and breakfast bar. The kitchen has room for a large table, sofa area, double doors to outside, a large pantry and a door through to the utility room which has a stable door to the garden at the side. A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation. On the first floor is an office/observatory, the principal bedroom suite with dressing room and adjoining bathroom, a guest suite with shower room, three further bedrooms, family bathroom and a first floor sitting room.

The main house also benefits from an annexe which can be separately approached from outside, or from the first floor of the main house. The doorway on the ground floor could be easily opened up; which would incorporate the annexe fully into the main residence. This is an incredibly versatile set up. The ground floor of the annexe comprises a WC and a kitchen/living room with feature fireplace with stairs up to the double bedroom of the annexe with its adjoining shower room.
