6 bedroom house for sale

An exceptional country house tucked away at the end of a magnificent tree-lined avenue off the exclusive Private Road, offering spacious and light-filled rooms with a wealth of character features

Description - Built in 1910, Greystone is a superbly proportioned Arts and Crafts house, beautifully laid out with high ceilings and an abundance of natural light.

The property retains a host of original features including stone mullion windows and original fireplaces in many of the rooms. A gated tree-lined avenue creates an impressive entrance to the property which is both welcoming and elegant in equal measure.

A light-filled and spacious entrance hall sets the tone to the remainder of the home, with carefully thought-out living spaces which work equally well for everyday living as for hosting family and friends.

The five reception rooms are beautifully proportioned and provide ample living and entertaining space. The original 'smoking room' is now used as a spacious sitting room/study and the principal drawing room is a wonderful room for entertaining with a pretty arched glazed door opening to the garden. All of the reception rooms retain the original working fireplaces with a feature raised hearth in the dining room, an ideal space for more formal entertaining. A good-sized TV room provides a useful additional reception, also working well as a teenage snug.

The kitchen with bespoke fitted units provides ample discreet storage with space for a good-sized table for informal dining and a red Aga providing a warming focal point. Doors open from the kitchen to a sheltered patio area, offering the perfect spot for a morning coffee or evening drinks.

A useful laundry room leads off the kitchen and a large cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Six bedrooms are located across the upper two floors with four good-sized double bedrooms on the first floor and two family bathrooms. All of the bedrooms have been thoughtfully laid out to provide ample storage and all benefit from pretty views of the garden. A further two bedrooms are located on the upper floor with an occasional walk-through 7th bedroom, ideal for grandchildren.

Garden & Grounds - The landscaped gardens have been beautifully designed to create various 'rooms' within the grounds. Extending to just over an acre, topiary neatly sections off areas of the garden to include an extensive kitchen garden, fruit orchard and a large lawn area, ideal for sport and ball games. A fenced hard tennis court is ideal for sporting enthusiasts.

A stone-built double carport provides parking for two cars along with ample driveway parking.

Two separate patio areas, one leading off the kitchen and the other off the drawing room, provide idyllic spots for alfresco entertaining.
