Full description

---

The house, which dates from 1744 and subsequently extended in 1871, is a magnificent example of the architectural styles of these periods, benefiting from all the grace and elegance associated with properties of this era.

Many of the original features remain including decorative cornices, parquet floors, Delft tile insets to many of the fireplaces and most importantly an unspoilt feel.

Inside, the accommodation is beautifully proportioned and well balanced. The drawing room, library and dining room have wonderful westerly views over the gardens and grounds. The reception hall has a semi circular wall with a very unusual sweeping iron staircase to the first floor accommodation. There is also a large study with extensive fitted bookshelves. The kitchen is at the western end of the house, has an Aga, and is divided into two areas and is open to an informal breakfast room. There are extensive domestic quarters including Butler’s pantry, laundry, office, cloakroom and various stores.

On the first floor there are nine bedrooms and three bathrooms whilst on the upper floor there are a number of stores and a work room.

There is three bedroom gate lodge, stable block, lovely gardens and river frontage.
The area is well known for its mild climate, unspoilt countryside and the diversity of sporting and recreational pursuits.
