7 bedroom detached house for sale

Willoughby House is a striking seven-bedroom period home, nestled in a peaceful rural setting at the end of a picturesque, tree-lined avenue.

One of only four properties in this exclusive enclave, the house boasts expansive, beautifully landscaped gardens, a charming stone folly, ample parking, and a double garage.

Rich in period detail and immaculately presented throughout, this exceptional property offers both grandeur and comfort thanks to extensive rennovation.


The Property:

Approached via a long, private drive framed by mature trees, Willoughby House immediately impresses with its elegant proportions and timeless charm. Inside, original features abound — high ceilings, intricate coving, and ornate fireplaces lend warmth and character.

Large timber casement windows, many with original shutters, flood the interiors with natural light and offer idyllic views across the gardens to open countryside beyond. A spacious kitchen extension adjoining the garage provides further scope for development, subject to planning consent.

The surrounding grounds are equally enchanting — a large, level lawn wraps around the house, bordered by mature trees and shrubs, and home to a picturesque stone folly and pond.

About the inside:

A grand timber front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, where warm timber flooring flows throughout the ground floor. To the left, a charming kitchen/dining room features high vaulted ceilings with a bespoke arched window. Classic cabinetry with granite worktops and fitted with a Belfast sink also incorporates an oil fired Alpha range, complemented by an electric hob and oven. A large stone fireplace with wood-burning stove creates a cosy focal point. A generous walk-in pantry and separate utility adds to the practicality.

The central reception hall showcases a stunning bespoke staircase and an elegant fireplace. Stained glass panels above double doors lead to the light-filled sitting room, with French doors opening directly to the garden. From here, double doors continue into a refined dining room, also featuring an impressive ornate fireplace. A dual-aspect music room and stylish cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the principal suite includes a private dressing room and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a freestanding slipper bath, twin basins, and a large shower. Two further spacious double bedrooms — one with its own en-suite — and a family bathroom complete the first floor. The second floor offers four additional double bedrooms and another beautifully appointed bathroom, perfect for family living or guests.

About the Outside:

A pair of timber gates open onto a generous driveway with ample space for multiple vehicles, leading to the double garage. The gardens wrap seamlessly around the property, offering space, privacy, and seasonal interest, all framed by mature planting, a serene pond, and the delightful stone folly.
