10 bedroom house

Newington House was built in 1883 by Dr Newington. The house has quite striking sandstone elevations beneath a slate roof, and has been sympathetically restored by the present owners, being careful to retain much of the original character of the property. Internally, the property offers some exceptional rooms including the superb double drawing room with incredible ceiling heights, stunning sash windows and intricate carving on the ceilings. The house is extremely light and bright throughout and offers versatile accommodation to support the needs of a growing family.

Newington House is approached over a quiet no-through country lane, and the property is access via electric gates.

The gardens and grounds fall away from the property giving a lovely vista over your own land. The formal gardens retain the original Victorian design and include a large number and variety of mature trees, shrubs, flowerbeds, a copse and a stand of poplars. There is a disused walled garden believed to have been the old vegetable garden, collection of ponds, two of which have waterfalls, tennis court and beautiful rockery close to the house which is awash with colour throughout the summer months. There is a substantial paddock with separate access from the lane and a building which could be used as stabling.
