The house has evolved to be either a large single dwelling or can be split to suit the profile of the owner, to offer comfortable multigenerational living, staff accommodation or letting diversification opportunities. A new estate office and 'Cloud Room' (a flexible multi-purpose office/yoga studio/gym/party or function room) were developed in 2021, in the adjoining outbuilding that also incorporates the garaging. In a separate building, The Old Stables, is an exquisite three bedroom self-contained guest suite.
The approach to the house is via a sweeping driveway through ancient cherries trees. The gardens with mature trees, areas of open lawn, colourful flower and rose beds surround the house; and especially important for the wildlife and ecology, a decent sized lake with connecting cascading ponds. Within the garden curtilage but discreetly positioned to one side is the tennis court and surrounding the formal gardens are wild-flower meadows teeming with life, vibrance and at certain times of the year stunning colours.
Lot 2 - Land and agricultural buildings
Positioned at the far end of the estate are two large agricultural storage barns, one includes a secure workshop and machinery shed and open hay/cattle/sheep shed and the other has great flexibility with hay storage, officing, bathroom facilities, stables and tack rooms, plus an open fronted modern cattle shed, linking directly to the brand new cattle handling system. The barns and yard have their own access to the public highway and there is ample parking for large vehicles if required. The barns were previously used as racing stables and there is an old gallop that runs along the far edge of the estate and up the west facing bank. The current owners run a mixed farming enterprise of native cattle and sheep, farming with soil and biodiversity at its core, managing the grazing to improve the resilience, setting and the natural capital value of the whole estate, whilst producing outstanding grass-fed meat and pedigree breeding stock.
The land comprises numerous fenced and watered fields as well as a broad belt of mature and very beautiful semi natural ancient woodland that runs along the ridge down the middle of the estate. The present owners have invested in 1500m of additional water main, bringing water to all fields, new fences and hedging have been installed to improve livestock management and add further wildlife corridors.
Lot 3 – Keepers Cottage
A one bedroom cottage stands guard at the southern entrance to the estate. Currently used as a successful holiday cottage, but with full residential status, it benefits from planning permission to replace with a brand new three bedroom 1800 sq ft house, ref M/22/00940/FUL. It is offered with 1.6 acres of land being garden and paddock.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
