This opulent property boasts a chic country interior with intricate original features, arched windows, and dramatic high ceilings. Be welcomed by the sweeping staircase as you step into the alcove hallway. Resident chefs will delight in rustling up a banquet in the farmhouse kitchen with an impressive stone-topped island. Graze through a snack board at the breakfast table or congregate in the striking dining room for a formal feasting affair beneath the chandelier. After supper, retire to the airy lounge and bask in the roar of the wood burner. Younger guests can escape to the games lounge to partake in a game of pool before unwinding with a film on the projector. Late-night snackers can raid the butler-style kitchen for some goodies to be scoffed upstairs in the cosy games room with a football table. When the evening draws in, discover eight beautifully appointed bedrooms in a range of configurations to suit the whole group. Relax surrounded by soft cotton sheets, thick throws, and antique furniture. Outside, dine together on the large patio with a breathtaking woodland backdrop. Explore the stone-built summerhouse, stroll past the ponds, and lounge on the sun-soaked lawn.
