6 bedroom house

Hannington House is a stunning listed period house of over 4,500 sq ft in a superb village setting close to the village green and at the heart of the community. The property benefits from well-proportioned rooms and sash windows, and has an excellent arrangement of accommodation combining formal entertaining space with more relaxed and comfortable living areas. The galleried entrance hall leads through to the main reception rooms, which include the impressive drawing room with an attractive fireplace, a very elegant sitting room and a good sized dining room/study. The kitchen has been newly fitted with bespoke cabinets, a full size range cooker and a central island and there is plenty of space for a large dining table and living area, creating the large focal living space so central to today's modern lifestyle. There is also a utility room/laundry adjacent to the kitchen. Beyond the kitchen is a delightful family room/snug with a vaulted ceiling and working fireplace, as well as a boot room, cloakroom, and a large dry cellar. Upstairs all the bedrooms emanate off a delightful spacious central landing. The impressive principal bedroom suite with en suite bathroom looks out across the gardens to the south and east. There are five further double bedrooms, and two further bathrooms, most enjoying a wonderful outlook across the grounds to the countryside beyond.

Outside
The property sits in approximately 5 acres of beautifully maintained gardens and grounds. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn, surrounded by mature trees, hedges and herbaceous borders, and there is a secluded terrace area at the rear of the house with views across the formal lawns and neighbouring farmland. The swimming pool and pool house are tucked away behind a mature yew hedge and the tennis court is at the far end of the grounds adjacent to the two paddocks. There are two stables and a separate garage block incorporating two garages and a workshop. The property is approached across a gravel driveway leading to a parking area by the garages and stables.

Cottage
There is also a 3 bedroom cottage adjacent to the house which is available by separate negotiation. This is ideally suited as a staff cottage to the main house or as overflow guest accommodation. The cottage has been re-fitted with a new kitchen and bathroom and has been re-carpeted and decorated throughout.
