Description

Park House is a sensational home set in a quintessential village setting. The house dates to the 17th century, retaining many fine period features and is Grade II listed.

There is extensive ancillary accommodation including a fine barn conversion and annex. Set in approximately 11 acres, including a picturesque lake and woodland, the property offers a fabulous lifestyle opportunity.

The house and buildings have been transformed by the current owners, and regularly updated over nearly 20 years. There is a balance of formal and informal family space in the main house, blending period charm with modern living.

The kitchen has been improved by the addition of a conservatory that lends itself perfectly as a family dining area.

There is plenty of additional accommodation for guests including the Lake Suite which is across the courtyard, with a balcony overlooking the water. The Annex is used for entertaining and offers another guest bedroom, equally it would make a good office.

Beyond is The Barn, which has been meticulously converted and provides very civilised accommodation. There are three bedrooms, and light and spacious reception rooms on the ground floor. The kitchen living room is particularly lovely with a conservatory dining/living area.

Adjacent to the house is the former coach house which, in addition to the Lake Suite, has a games room and garages which house the biomas boiler.

Both The Barn and Annex can be accessed from their own, shared drive and could be separately let providing useful rental income.

Additional Info

Park House is approached from the village green, through electric gates where there is parking. The Barn is beyond, although benefits from its own access.

The gardens and grounds have been beautifully designed. To the front is a parterre, planted with white roses, and a ha-ha enhancing the delightful aspect over the green. To the north of the house is a lawned garden with herbaceous borders, and a shepherd’s hut.

From the house you can walk along the lakeside into the well managed woods, and back through the paddocks. There is a thatched summerhouse on the lake for dining al fresco, with a pontoon and covered mooring.

There is a small stable block with the paddocks for those with equestrian interests, and country lanes and bridleways to ride out on.
