The house is laid out over three levels and the reception rooms have an air of cosy elegance. They include a drawing room, a dining room and a spacious family room.

Both the drawing room and the family room open to a raised terrace, which sits overlooking the mature garden, sheltered by many specimen trees.

The bedrooms are bright and airy, with high ceilings and country views, and the main bedroom is en suite.

At basement level, there’s a large utility, a playroom, a fifth bedroom and large store room, boot room and wine cellar.

The kitchen has the mainstay of many country houses – an oil-fired AGA cooker. Off the back hall, there is a guest toilet.

The yard is to the side of the house and there is a also sizeable cottage, with a large living room and three bedrooms.

Also in the yard, there are a total of seven stables in two separate blocks with associated feed and store rooms, a stone building with dog run, double garage and boiler house.

To the rear of the yard, there is a mature vegetable garden .

The lands are mainly to the front and both sides of the house and are divided into four separate paddocks, all in grass.
