The property has been finished to the highest of standards and in brief comprises an impressive reception hallway with feature fireplace, polished porcelain floors and bespoke ash staircase with glazed panels, a cloakroom, huge drawing room with fireplace and having views over the lake, a lounge, ground floor bedroom five, wonderful kitchen dining room with family area to one side and a laundry room with further cloakroom to the other. On the first floor off the spacious landing is the principal bedroom with luxury en-suite and a dressing room, three further double bedrooms, all with far reaching countryside views and an opulent family bathroom with wetroom.

Landscaped gardens surround the house and include a large stocked lake and an extensive paved terrace. There is garaging with planning permission in place to replace with a more substantial sized garage building and there is a large timber built summerhouse which could provide an office or annexe (subject to any necessary planning approval).
