FINE & COUNTRY STYLE & ELEGANCE “The moment I pulled up I thought it was the most amazing house I had ever seen. We immediately fell in love with the characterful appearance of the house.”

Character and Comfort Laid out over four levels with seven bedrooms on the upper two floors, this imposing property offers extensive and beautifully presented accommodation with luxurious finishing touches and stunning contemporary design, all within a magnificent Grade II Listed Georgian manor house. The current owner tells us about his first impression of the property - “The moment I pulled up I thought it was the most amazing house I had ever seen.� High ceilings, sash windows and galleried staircases sit comfortably with two bespoke Urban Myth kitchens, five Albion Bath Company bathrooms with built in TVs and an impressive suite of entertainment rooms in the basement to include a cinema, games room, bar and wine tasting room. The gardens extend to towards half an acre in size, with lawns and sunny secluded seating areas for unwinding at the end of a busy day and a quadruple garage with ample parking offers plenty of space for visiting family and friends.

Dressed to Impress Iron gates open and a sweeping paved driveway leads into this exclusive collection of properties; all recently built except for one: the original manor house which has been stunningly renovated and occupies a breathtakingly prominent position. It immediately impresses with its stunning, traditionally symmetrical, Georgian façade with elegant sash windows and traditional brickwork. “We immediately fell in love with the characterful appearance of the house.” A formal front lawn is bisected by a gravel path leading to steps and a magnificent four-pillared Georgian stone portico with ornate architectural detailing. A black gloss panelled door with traditional glazing above opens into a stunning reception hall crammed full of original Georgian features – characterful wooden panelling, a beautiful original fireplace and masses of light floods in from the atrium situated above on the second floor. Reception rooms are plentiful and are all generously proportioned with impressively high ceilings and breathtaking decor yet feel comfortable and homely. The sitting room to the left is magnificent, stretching the whole depth of this part of the property and opens out into the orangery. The flickering of the flames behind the glass of the contemporary inset fire adds a wonderfully enticing modern twist. “When we light the fire in the sitting room it creates a really lovely, welcoming atmosphere for family and friends.”

The Sky’s the Limit The staircase, traditionally the most commanding feature of elegant Georgian houses, cannot fail to impress as it winds gracefully right up to the second floor glazed atrium. Here you will find three beautifully proportioned bedrooms, two bathrooms and a dressing room connecting the second floor master bedroom to the bathroom. “The second floor is ideal for visitors as they have plenty of space and plenty of privacy.” Bathrooms are all beautifully designed by the highly renowned Albion Bath company and most have fitted televisions for viewing whilst relaxing in the tub. One level down and on the first floor there are four more bedrooms; two with stunning en-suite shower rooms and an opulent family bathroom. The master suite on this floor is split level and has a beautifully fitted out dressing room between the magnificent bedroom, situated at the rear of the property, and the shower room.

That’s Entertainment The kitchen oozes opulence and quality and is fitted to a very high specification by the Urban Myth Company. “We really love the luxury of a built in coffee machine that makes the best frothy milk!” There is a breakfast bar and informal dining area and also a generous open plan comfortable seating area for the family to relax in. “We often have loads of friends and family to visit and there’s plenty of space for us all to relax in the kitchen before going downstairs to the basement for entertainment.” There you will find a cinema, games room, fully fitted bar and wine tasting room. What more could you wish for to have fun with friends and family? On sunny days doors are thrown open from the kitchen onto the sunny terrace where al-fresco dining is a must and there is a lovely enclosed courtyard where breakfast can be enjoyed in a tranquil setting. The gardens, which are mostly laid to lawn with various ornamental shrubs and flowering plants for interest, extend to towards half an acre and a quadruple garage with ample parking offers plenty of space for visitors. Just a few minutes away from this wonderfully secure and friendly gated development, there are lovely countryside walks to enjoy yet the main A12 trunk road and Marks Tey mainline train station are only a five minutes away.
