11 bedroom house

An impressive Grade II listed country house in a stunning parkland setting with wonderful gardens and grounds. The house is approached past the Gate House and down a long straight carriage drive through the stunning mature parkland. The drive sweeps through the gardens and passes the beautiful Grade I listed St Peters Chapel to a gravelled turning circle at the east side of the house. The house is entered through a stone arched front door into a spacious reception and staircase hall off which are an impressive run of formal reception rooms including the drawing room, library, dining room and billiard room beyond. All of these rooms enjoy excellent views over the gardens and mature parkland to the south. To the rear of the house is a study, sitting room, large kitchen and breakfast room along with utility, boot room and four downstairs loos. There is a large cellar with storeroom, boiler room and dedicated wine storage. The stairs rise up to a first floor landing off which is the master bedroom with ensuite bathroom situated in the south west corner of the house with excellent views over the parkland. With an adjacent bedroom this could act as a large dressing room/sitting room to the master bedroom. There are 2 principal guest suites along with 4 further bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the first floor. The second floor has significant further accommodation with 3 bedrooms, a sitting room, kitchen and bathroom.

The gardens at Steane Park are of particular note and have regularly been opened to the public by the current owner. The house sits with wonderful views over immaculate lawns, herbaceous borders and on to the mature parkland. Beyond the Chapel, the garden drops down to the well-hidden tennis court and part walled garden and kitchen garden. The principal woodland gardens lie to the north of the house set around the historic fishponds. There are woodland walks through the gardens with a folly, living arches, wild flower meadows and special features including 'The Monet Bridge', The Moon Gate' and 'The Folly' that make the gardens a significant and charming asset of the property.

To the west of the main house are a series of charming stone period out buildings that give further accommodation, stabling and storage. These include:
