Property description

A stunning Regency style country residence in a tranquil and private setting surrounded by 3 acres of it's own land, protecting the superb views to all aspects. Communications are excellent with a fast and frequent 20 minute rail service to London Kings Cross and the A10 and A1M within easy reach.
The house is approached from a private lane via double 5 bar gates and then a sweeping gravel drive between level lawns with spring bulbs and many mature trees and shrubs to arrive at a wide turning circle in front of the house giving access to the detached double garage.
The house has real presence standing in a commanding position facing over its own 2 acre meadow and unspoilt open farmland to the front.
Superb grounds of one acre surround the house as does a stone paved terrace with access from the breakfast room and orangery. From the terrace the lawns stretch away to the boundaries with a backdrop of many mature trees and shrubs. The gardens include a large duck pond and a wide variety of mixed planting that provides year round colour and interest.
Double entrance doors lead to an impressive main hall with its sweeping staircase to the galleried landing, beautifully lit by the vaulted glass dome ceiling. Attention to detail in the design is evident in all the house has to offer, through its ground floor reception rooms, formal in layout whilst versatile in use.
There are three light and spacious reception rooms, drawing room, dining room, and study/sitting room. There is also a truly wonderful bespoke kitchen/breakfast room/family room which is enhanced by the adjoining orangery with the glass architecture creating, light, warmth and ambience.
To the first floor are five bedrooms and a well appointed family bathroom all accessed off the galleried landing with beautiful views of the landscaped gardens and grounds. There is a master bedroom suite and a guest suite, both with access to a connecting balcony. There are three further bedrooms with one also having en suite access to the family bathroom.
