5 bedroom detached house for sale

A Grade II listed detached house on four floors with 4.17 acres of wraparound gardens and paddocks, with a separate cottage and lodge, driveway parking and a double garage, with rear views of open countryside. A tree-lined drive and over four acres of parkland gardens and paddock create a secluded setting for an historic village house that is also within reach of transport links and amenities. The main house was built circa 1728 as a hunting lodge, taking advantage of the wild boar and deer in nearby ancient woodland, still present in the 400 or so acres of Penn Woods.

The original George II flint and brick building is a double- fronted, three bay house with box sash windows on the ground and first floors, and second storey north facing dormers in the clay tiled hipped roof; internal arches are echoed in the ground floor arched sash windows overlooking the rear garden. Front steps lead to the original glazed front door with a fanlight beneath a pedimented portico, supported by columns with ionic capitals.
