A truly impressive and striking country house, Willow House is set within an oasis of 12 acres (stms) of established, well-landscaped grounds including the most magical lake and woodland. Accommodation in the main house extends to approximately 6,000 square feet.
Approached via a fine sweeping driveway, the striking and unique façade stands proudly and is a joy to admire.
Upon entering Willow House the spacious reception hall sets the scene, with a glimpse of the impressive cantilever staircase. To the left, you will find the most atmospheric semi-circular dining room, which makes a perfect entertaining space with stunning views of the magical lake. Meandering through the house you will find the fine drawing room with a central fireplace, and a wonderful well-fitted kitchen/breakfast room with ample storage and workspace; a cook’s dream as well as the perfect place to entertain. In addition there is a further reception room, currently used as a sitting room, a separate office and a circular garden room with a further staircase to the first floor. As you may expect in a house such as this, you will find a good size utility room, pantry, cloakroom and internal access to the garage.
The cantilever staircase leads up to the first floor, which is home to five very well-appointed bedrooms. The principal bedroom, as one would expect, benefits from a well-fitted en-suite shower room and access to the second circular staircase turret. A lovely guest bedroom has a modern en-suite bath and shower room, and there are three further bedrooms and a dual entrance family bathroom.
Willow House occupies the most impressive setting, approached via the meandering drive leading to the ample parking and a range of outbuildings. The garaging, open cart lodge and stores make the home perfect for the keen car enthusiast.
The grounds in their entirety extend to approximately 12 acres (stms), with fenced paddocks, sweeping lawns, and wrap around covered terraces that offer uninterrupted views of the lake and sun terrace. The show stopper has to be the most magical and enchanting lake with a boat house and pontoon. Making a wonderful backdrop, it’s home to a haven of wildlife and well stocked with a variety of fish. The meandering woodland walkway takes you around the perimeter and offers enchanting views from every angle.
