Description

The Castle is an imposing red-brick residence providing over 4,500 sq ft of attractive, light-filled living space arranged across two floors.

A welcoming reception hall with mosaic tiled flooring gives access to large reception rooms on either side. These include an approx. 33ft room featuring wooden flooring, three tall arched front windows, built-in cabinetry, a ceiling lantern, cornicing, a ceiling rose and a log burning fireplace. A further spacious sitting room provides beaded wall mouldings, a fitted storage and media unit and access to a rear bar area, creating an ideal setting for entertaining.

Additional ground-floor rooms include an office and a formal dining room with panelled walls and a cast-iron fireplace. At the rear, the open-plan kitchen and dining area features tiled flooring and French doors to the gardens. The kitchen offers shaker-style units, a central island with a breakfast bar, while the adjoining utility and cloakroom provide further storage.

Upstairs, the main home has six attractive double bedrooms, five with en suite bath or shower rooms. The principal bedroom includes a dressing room and contemporary en suite. A family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation, with an additional shower room on the ground floor, adjoining the office and providing the potential to use the room as an additional bedroom.

The Big Barn and Holiday Cottage sit adjacent to the main house but benefit from private entrances from the courtyard. Each includes a stylish sitting room, a well-equipped kitchen with dining space, and two en suite bedrooms arranged on the upper floor. An indoor swimming pool, accessible from the courtyard, features sliding glass doors and skylights that fill the space with natural light.

Dual gated entrances lead to gravel driveways providing ample parking and access to the integrated double garage. The front grounds include a central paved path flanked by neat lawns. The courtyard offers a sheltered, south-facing area for outdoor dining.

To the rear, the gardens stretch to over 150ft and border open countryside. They include patio seating areas, well-planted shrub beds, a wide expanse of lawn and a small wooded copse, creating a private and picturesque outdoor setting.
