An exceptional country residence occupying a discrete but commanding elevated position overlooking Lindrick Golf Course comprising formal terracing, lawns, woodland, a secret garden, ornamental ponds and an attractive Japanese-inspired area.
The house provides more than 10,000 square feet of beautifully presented and classically proportioned accommodation, including a host of formal and informal reception rooms with Bang & Olufson audio installation, a beautifully fitted dining kitchen with large picture windows and a range of sub-zero appliances, a fully fitted home office and a total of five bedrooms with bathrooms.
Leisure Wing
A substantial leisure wing resides to the rear of the property, incorporating an indoor swimming pool with a jacuzzi overlooking a large outdoor entertaining area and views of the garden; there is a well-equipped gym, bar/relaxation area, sauna and cinema. The garage currently houses nine cars. In addition to the main house, there is a large summerhouse with potential for a variety of uses.
The Grounds
The house is approached via a secure gated gravelled driveway, which dissects the substantial lawned gardens and leads to a large parking area at the rear of the property, giving access to a large garage block. The gardens extend to a hedged and walled boundary dotted with specimen trees, a copse of Silver Birch trees, an ornamental terraced garden, palm trees, and a Japanese-inspired pond area. To the front of the house is a secret garden with a sheltered seating area, a fire pit, and a mirrored water feature, which is screened by beech hedging. Pea gravelled pathways meander through the gardens at the front of the house. The lawns continue to the side with a fenced tennis court, and a heated summerhouse provides all-weather shelter. To the rear of the property, the lawns continue to a wooded area with timber treehouse and rope bridges. The detached summerhouse, which was previously used as stables and has been converted to a one-bedroom, self-contained studio apartment with a kitchen/living area, shower room and opening into an external seating area.
