Dating back to 1807, this exceptional property is one of a distinguished pair, originally designed in elegant Grecian style by the celebrated architect James Wyatt. The two gatehouses once flanked the historic coach road leading to the estate mansion through ornate wrought iron gates. The property was subsequently enlarged by Eckstein circa 1910, further extended by later owners in the 1960s, and has been thoughtfully enhanced by the current owners to create a home of rare character and distinction.<br/><br/>As you move through this beautiful home, old meets new in the most captivating way, opening up into a series of fabulous spaces designed for entertaining and flooded with natural light throughout. The bedrooms are situated within the original gatehouse, and all three principal bedrooms benefit from their own beautifully appointed en-suites or bathrooms. Every room has been thoughtfully refurbished and modernised to the highest standard, whilst carefully preserving the wealth of original character features that make this home so unique.<br/><br/>The kitchen and breakfast room was originally conceived by award-winning designer Sebastian Cox, celebrated for crafting his exceptional kitchens from sustainably sourced hardwoods - a true work of art in its own right. The utility room adjoins the kitchen and provides one of several delightful access points to the garden beyond.<br/>Moving through to the rear of this stunning property, the main sitting and dining room is simply breathtaking. Bathed in natural light pouring in from above and on all sides, this is an extraordinary space in which to entertain family and friends in effortless style. Simply open the vast sliding doors - which disappear seamlessly into the walls - and the outside flows in, creating an unparalleled sense of space and connection with the beautiful gardens beyond.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>The entire plot extends to an impressive 0.41 acres, offering a wonderful sense of space, privacy, and seclusion rarely found with a property of this character. To the fore, elegant wrought iron gates open onto a private driveway providing generous parking and direct access to a substantial purpose-built double garage with annexe - a truly versatile addition to this already exceptional home.<br/><br/>The rear garden is an absolute delight and a true extension of the living space. Various beautifully appointed patio areas create perfect spots for relaxing or entertaining, while a glorious rooftop terrace provides an elevated and sun-drenched setting for alfresco dining at its very finest. Beyond, a large and immaculately maintained expanse of lawn stretches out, framed by a magnificent backdrop of mature trees, established shrubs, and well-kept hedging that ensures complete privacy throughout.<br/><br/>The wonderfully wrap-around garden faces a sunny south-easterly direction, bathing the outdoor spaces in warm sunshine for the greater part of the day - creating an idyllic outdoor sanctuary that must be experienced to be truly appreciated.<br/><br/>
