Built in 1792, Storthes Hall is a Grade II listed Georgian property occupying a private elevated position with spectacular views out over a parkland setting and beyond. The property is approached by a long driveway taking through well managed woodland and up to the front door. The current owners have completely transformed the property in recent years bringing the interiors up to date while retaining all of the properties wonderful period features and in some cases enhancing them.

The ground floor has four principal receptions feeding off the impressive entrance hall with eyes immediately drawn to the magnificent stone cantilevered staircase. Both the drawing room and dining room have superb proportions, lovely cornicing and large sash windows facing south enjoying the views out over the parkland setting. The library has substantial bookcases with a matching fireplace and a hidden door leads to the butler's pantry and then to the gardens.

The kitchen has been hand built and designed by the renowned Yorkshire based Jeremy Wood and all appliances are top of the range. The spectacular orangery is an ideal setting for summer entertaining and has a discreet door leading to the front parterre. There are wine cellars and steps lead up to the garden room which has views over the side gardens and there is a door to the courtyard.

Upstairs the principal bedroom suite dominates the southerly aspect of the property with exceptional proportions including a substantial dressing room, ensuite bathroom and upstairs sitting room. On the first floor there are a further two bedroom suites, another two bedrooms that share a family bathroom and gym, all bedrooms are a fantastic size and benefit from fitted wardrobes or their own dressing rooms.

On the second floor is a penthouse suite, two further bedrooms, two bathrooms (one ensuite) and a first-class cinema room fitted with bar and its own WC.

Cottage & Outbuildings
The outbuildings are arranged in an arch around the substantial courtyard. The cottage has easy access to the boot room of Storthes Hall and an open plan living room has a kitchen. An inner hall leads to the bathroom and there are steps down into a spacious double bedroom.

A row of stables, kennels and stores connects the cottage to a utility garage. The Coach House is more recently built in 2012 and designed to house large vehicles. The three bays are accessed through twin arched doors.

Garden & Grounds
Storthes Hall sits high above its grounds and is surrounded by a variety of beautiful gardens. These exceptional areas have been superbly designed, skilfully planted and lovingly maintained. A tree lined promenade leads to the large east garden which is enclosed by tall mature trees and has level lawns, where if required would be an ideal location for a swimming pool subject to planning permission. There is a newly constructed wooden framed summerhouse with bi-folding doors that has been fitted out for outdoor entertaining or cosy evening inside with a log burner.

The west gardens have an orchard and a lime tree walk within a lawn which sweeps around to the front of the property. In the courtyard there is a stylish boxed garden arranged around an evening sitting area which has a beautifully planted border. The front lawn has a box tree promenade and is bordered by a haha, with outstanding views over the valley. A path winds down through mature woodland to the walled kitchen garden, which is also accessed by a track from the main driveway. The walled kitchen garden extends to around 0.75 acres and is surrounded by a high perimeter wall which creates a more ambient microclimate, ideal for growing fruit, vegetables and more delicate species.

There is a belt of around 45 acres of grazing land sitting in the valley beneath The Mansion. It has been fitted with drainage and is arranged in a series of grazing fields and areas of parkland which are mostly surrounded by mature woodland and a natural spring provides drinking areas.
