Once empty and deteriorating, the house has been reconfigured into a beautiful family home. At its heart is a generous L-shaped kitchen, dining and living space created by opening up several former rooms, with parquet flooring and views down the drive and across the grounds.
Original features such as servant bells, traditional fireplaces and stone balustrades were carefully retained, while behind the scenes the house has been upgraded with solar panels, a battery system and extensive insulation, achieving an impressive EPC rating of C.
Formal reception rooms, a reworked principal suite with balcony, a large boot room and laundry, and a self-contained one-bedroom annexe add flexibility.
French doors open on to a covered portico and York stone terrace, making the most of the south-facing aspect and long views across manicured lawns. Mature cedar trees frame the grounds, lending a sense of permanence and grandeur. Despite its size, the layout encourages everyday use, with spaces flowing naturally for both family life and entertaining.
The property is currently for sale with Blenkin & Co for £3.5m. Call 01904 671672.
