Toat Hill House

Toat Hill House is a handsome country house with elegant living rooms leading from a large welcoming reception hall. It is a wonderful family house with excellent entertaining space both inside and out. The dual aspect drawing room features an impressive open fireplace and the dining room, overlooking the garden lawns, is well-proportioned and ideal for entertaining guests and enjoying family meals. A further cosy sitting room and large separate family room, with French doors out to the garden are lovely additional living rooms, with the family room also offering the flexibility to be used as a home office if desired. The kitchen/breakfast room is a large sociable room, with an Aga, a central island, a larder, door to the garden, and space for a big kitchen table.
Upstairs, the generous principal bedroom suite has a dressing room and an ensuite bathroom. There is also a door to the dressing room, currently sealed, from the landing so if reinstated this could easily be a sixth bedroom. The guest bedroom also has an ensuite bathroom, and there are three further bedrooms and two family bathrooms.
There is a very substantial loft with flooring, good head-height, and a window.
Across the drive within the garden lies a substantial detached games room, a great additional space with many varied potential uses, such as for hobbies, childrens parties, or as an office.
Outside

Approached via a gravel driveway, there is ample parking for numerous cars to the front of the house. The delightful well-maintained gardens with some lovely flower borders lie predominantly to the rear. There is a wide, paved terrace and covered eating area overlooking the expansive lawns which sweep down to the tennis court and paddock land beyond. Mature trees and hedges on the boundaries offer great seclusion and a wonderful setting for the house. These grounds extend to some 4.45 acres (1.8 ha). Adjacent to the property, there is a separate field of approximately 6.93 acres (2.8 ha) which is available by separate negotiation.
