Description

Outwood House is a very generous country house (approaching 5,000 sq. ft.), offering some beautiful and relaxed family accommodation with a myriad of options to modify/extend if wanted. Please see the attached images with suggestions from a well-respected architect (subject to consent).

The ground floor comprises a spacious entrance hall with an open fireplace, a triple aspect sitting room, lovely dining room which opens into the walled garden and to the rear an L-shaped kitchen/breakfast room with Mark Wilkinson fitted units. Utility room and study.

There are three first floor bedrooms and three bathrooms (two en suite), the principal bedroom being impressively proportioned with a dressing area (again Mark Wilkinson fitted) and a bathroom with bath, shower and twin basins.

The second floor lends itself perfectly to a children’s floor with two bedrooms, a shower room and a spacious landing which makes a perfect play area.

Leisure Facilities:
The 7.5 acre sensational grounds include a 12m indoor pool, heated in part by thermal solar panels, which is attached to a complex that could be used as a home gym/yoga studio or a one bedroom staff/guest/annexe or holiday rental, subject to refurbishment and any necessary planning.

The tennis court sits beside the pool (previously the site of a sandschool).

The stable yard comprises five brick-built stables (originally garages) and three wooden stables currently used principally for storage but which could be reconfigured as any combination of garages, stables, storerooms or workshops.

There is also a separate double and single garage with a studio flat/home office above, which has its own council tax.

In total the outbuildings amount to nearly 4,000 sq. ft. with many potential opportunities for conversion to other uses (subject to consents).

Gardens:
Outside, the mature gardens are a particularly attractive feature of the property.

There are areas mainly laid to lawn, as well as planted beds, mature native and specimen trees including oaks, willows and numerous acers together with a walled rose garden.

The lake has an island and draws in an abundance of wildlife throughout the seasons.

There is an orchard with apple, quince, pear and crab apple trees.

The two fields have at various times been used as paddocks, pasture and for recreation activities.

Please note this house has private drainage.
