STAPLEFORD

The house is presented to an exemplary standard, with accommodation flowing well across two floors offering a balance of formal entertaining rooms and relaxed family living space. In all, the accommodation extends to 4,829 sq. ft with additional store rooms and garaging.

The ground floor offers flexible living space enjoying an abundance of natural light, with all of the principal reception rooms having doors providing access to the garden. The drawing room and dining room are in the original part of the house which is believed to date from 1850 and include a wood burning stove and charming exposed timbers. The kitchen is well appointed with a range of Neptune fitted units including an AGA as well as a large central island with a breakfast bar. There is a large utility room off the kitchen with separate access outside.

The kitchen opens into the family living space which enjoys lovely views of the gardens and continues into the garden room. This is a wonderful area for entertaining family and friends.

There are five double bedrooms each served by an ensuite bathroom. The principal bedroom suite is outstanding, with an open ensuite with a freestanding bath and a walk in shower. The views are stunning offering a south westerly aspect over the garden, pond and rural vista beyond.

Gardens and land
Stapleford Cottage is approached via a sweeping driveway flanked by well-maintained open parkland style lawns leading to the house with a turning circle, garaging and parking space for a number of cars.

The south facing gardens are beautifully stocked and can be enjoyed throughout the seasons. There is a large terrace which spans the length of the house and opens into an entertaining and alfresco dining area.

There is a full-size tennis court situated within the grounds and a pond with an island which attracts a variety of wildlife.

There are also two paddocks which could work well for equestrian use.
