Description

Forest House is a special house, ideal for family living. Our clients thoughtfully extended the house to create very generous accommodation, over two floors, the majority of the accommodation taking advantage of the outlook to the south over your own gardens and rolling countryside beyond.

The ground floor offers five excellent reception rooms, kitchen breakfast room, pantry, utility room, downstairs shower room and a wc.

On the first floor there is a magnificent principal bedroom suite with a balcony, ensuite bathroom and dressing room. There are six further bedrooms, two with ensuite facilities. The fourth/family bathroom is accessed easily from the main landing. The three principal bedrooms all benefit from air conditioning.

Gardens and Grounds
The property sits in an enviable south facing plot of about five acres. Set for low-maintenance these gardens are predominantly lawned and feature a tennis court and a superb, detached leisure complex.

As shown on our attached floorplan there is a large 11.5m pool with changing room and shower room and beside this, a games room and bar. A significant patio sits to the rear of the house.

The gardens back onto open land bordered by beautiful mature Oaks. To the front there is a spacious driveway with ample parking and gates giving access to the rear gardens. A detached (oversized) triple bay garage and workshop sits adjacent to the house, linked by a covered walkway.

Forest House is a superb opportunity for a new owner to find a house which sits on the edge of a popular village close to excellent walking countryside, in generous private grounds, but without being isolated or remote.
