Description

Loth Lorien has been sympathetically updated over the years retaining the original style.
The main house is arranged over four floors. The spacious drawing room with its wide recessed period fireplace links to a large study, with a mezzanine level and doors out to a decked balcony for appreciation of the beautiful views.
A generously proportioned modern kitchen/breakfast room with flagstone flooring features a period fireplace fitted with a stylish wood burner. The adjoining dining room and the kitchen/breakfast room open out onto the wide terrace on the south side, creating a space for entertaining.
There is extensive practical domestic space off the kitchen, including a large walk-in pantry on the north side, a boot room and a lower ground floor bath/shower room/laundry.
The lower ground floor rooms below the study provide adaptable leisure space comprising a shower room, summer room and bedroom, both with access out to the swimming pool.
The bedrooms on the first floor lookout over the gardens and woodland and include a spacious master suite with a dressing room (or bedroom), a further three bedrooms and a family bathroom. There is a further en suite bedroom on the second floor and a guest suite on the east side, with its own terrace.

The property is approached via a sweeping gravel driveway leading up to a large parking and turning area
and the front door.
The formal gardens lie mainly to the south and west sides of the house where there is a wide raised Yorkstone terrace providing lovely space for entertaining, being accessed from the main living areas. Steps descend to a lawned area which falls away to a pond, a dell and an area of woodland.
Steps from the terrace lead down to the swimming pool, ideally placed for maximum sunshine.
