Awonderful manor house with 10 decadent bedrooms is made even more special by the chic décor and fabulous facilities that it has to offer. There is not a single family party, corporate event or even intimate wedding that wouldn’t be totally memorable and unique if held at this house.
Set in acres of mature gardens which fall away from the house over a series of secret spaces that hold all sorts of hidden treasure, the house looks across to a majestic view of the river valley and fields beyond. Discover the breathtaking solar heated outdoor pool with a temple like outdoor bathtub, the tennis court, the grotto, the amazing restored green houses and even a croquet lawn.
Inside the views continue, as light streams in through the large windows. Made cosy in winter with open fires and a big Aga the interiors are warm and inviting with just the right amount of natural elegance and fabulous artwork to impress even the most jaded traveler.
The truly magnificent staircase which greets you at the entrance leads up to some splendid bedrooms – one which has a bath so large you could fit the whole family in. Each room is tasteful different and most are ensuite or with private bathrooms.
The owners have also converted the courtyard buildings and these now house some more great bedrooms – one with its own raised deck area and outdoor bath and another with a mezzine level that children will love.
The courtyard also houses a gym and playroom and a large dance studio, as perfect for health retreats or corporate events as it is for discos and dance lessons. There is also a large snooker room with a full sized table and a big flat screen TV fully equipped with SKY and a DVD player – its just like having your own private members club.
In the surrounding area you have the choice of many outdoor activities but as the house can offer so much why tear yourself away? The house is let self catered but they offer the most fantastic catering service – think seafood fresh from the sea that day and organic vegetables from the garden and you are just bringing to get the feel for just how passionate they are about good food.
If you want to indulge, impress or just relax and enjoy life then this is the one for you.
