6 bedroom house

A distant view of the stunning south facade opens up through the grounds as the drive sweeps through the woodland and past the lake with the house standing proudly elevated above its parkland setting.

The layout of the house flows extremely well combining elegant proportions and ornate period features within a practical and manageable floor plan, ensuring Truthan Manor is an ideal family home. The central entrance hall is accessed from the stunning west facade and leads to the principal reception rooms.

The drawing room is south facing with triple aspect box bay windows. The views are far reaching, looking out over the gardens, gently sloping neighbouring parkland and towards the lake beyond. The oak floor, open fireplace and ceiling mouldings make this an ideal room for entertaining. The drawing room links with the oak panelled dining room.

The kitchen / breakfast room has a magnificent slate flagstone floor, four oven AGA, Neff oven and bespoke handmade cabinets. The kitchen links with the sitting room, a wonderfully light room with a contemporary feel.

The practical elements of the house are situated behind the kitchen, where a large utility / boot room and cloak room can be found. From here the magnificent swimming pool, decked terrace and covered outside seating area can be accessed.

A spacious landing on the first floor leads to the master bedroom with attached dressing room. Two further guest bedrooms share a Jack and Jill shower room and the luxurious principal bathroom features a free standing bath and separate shower. A disguised door connects to the guest wing where there are two bedrooms and two bathrooms. A staircase leads to the second floor where an additional bedroom and two large loft rooms can be found.

Attached to the main house and with its own entrance is an immaculately refurbished cottage with large sitting room, kitchen, dining room / study on the ground floor and two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor.

The mature gardens complement the house perfectly, combining formal landscaped gardens with areas of sweeping lawn and woodland, as well as a rose garden and tennis court. To the north of the house is a productive vegetable garden, beyond which is a triple garage and large parking area next to the secondary entrance. A walled courtyard sits on the eastern side of the house, and can be accessed directly from the kitchen making it ideal for summer breakfasts. At the southern end of the grounds is a large lake next to the woodland, forming an idyllic and peaceful spot from which to enjoy the surroundings. The grounds extend to about 18.2 acres in total.
