Meticulously presented, the property has been expertly and carefully updated, modernised and improved throughout to ensure the heritage, charm and character is maintained whilst suiting a modern family lifestyle.
Magnificent original features provide a subtle nod to times gone by, including panelled oak doors, parquet flooring and original fireplaces.
This superb country home totals nearly 8,300 sq ft of exceptional contemporary living space with the property’s principal rooms overlooking the beautifully maintained gardens and grounds once designed by British horticulturalist Gertrude Jekyll.
The incredible kitchen/breakfast room is perfect for entertaining and includes a large island unit with breakfast bar, Italian quartz worktops and integrated Neff appliances. The soul of the home, this stunning chandelier-lit space offers additional seating area with roof lantern.
Additionally, there are utility rooms including a prep kitchen, custom made dog/pet room and laundry room.
The spacious formal dining room is perfect for family events with exceptional garden views, stone fireplace and Italian quartz hearth.
The primary reception/cinema room offers a beautiful wood-burning stove with Yorkshire stone surround, electric drop-down projector and concealed cinema screen, continued parquet flooring, tasteful décor and garden views.
The drawing room with Arts & Crafts fireplace, stunning original Stoke-on-Trent tiles and French doors opening onto the south facing patio area and lawn provides a peaceful space to relax and unwind.
Formerly the library, the bespoke office space has been designed for the current owners and has been fitted with handmade furniture.
Modern family life is perfectly served by the elegant layout of the home with reception rooms drawing from the grand reception hall. This remarkable space imitates a medieval hall with oak panel walls, ceiling décor and Jacobean Revival style oak stairwell.
The first floor of the property provides five substantial bedrooms.
The principal bedroom suite is situated on the south wing and features gold-leaf wallpaper, a custom design dressing room with fitted wardrobes and central island, as well as a large en-suite shower room with cork walling.
Of the four additional double bedrooms, two offer excellent en-suite facilities while the nursery features beautifully hand painted Beatrix Potter wall décor.

Above the garage is a stylish, self-contained studio apartment with vaulted ceiling, electronically controlled Velux windows, mezzanine bedroom area, dressing room/office, modern fully integrated kitchen with granite worktops and a separate shower room. The apartment can be accessed from the main property or externally via the French doors and wooden staircase. This is an incredible and versatile addition to the property which provides a perfect space for additional guests, family members or older children.
The cottage, identified as East Garth Cottage, has accommodation arranged over two floors, independent access and its own parking area and garden. Recently updated, it would make ideal accommodation for a nanny or dependent.
The detached oak-framed barn is designed as a five bay garage and workshop. Subject to planning permission, this presents a fantastic opportunity to convert into additional living space or even separate residence with its own car park, garden and secure private access. This stunning building comes with two mezzanines, plumbing and electrics and kitchenette.
The property sits on a substantial plot offering around 4 acres of beautifully maintained gardens and private woods. There is a tennis court, multiple paved dining areas and stunning long feature pond. The property is often visited by local wildlife including deer.
