This gorgeous property combines contemporary elegance with historic charm. Parts of the house date to before the Domesday Book. Laid out over three levels with some interior steps, the entrance leads to the top floor, where you''ll find the main living area with a vaulted kitchen with oak beams and slate flooring, a large dining room with bi-fold doors leading onto a patio, and a separate sitting area with wood burner. There are two bedrooms on this level - a king-size with an en-suite shower room and a twin. The emperor bedroom is accessed via a private staircase from the reading room and has a spiral staircase to the infinity pool and hot tub. A long wood-panelled corridor on the middle floor leads to the other three bedrooms - one king-size and two twin - and a snug. The dual-aspect reading room connects to the lower floor, which contains a large games room with a billiard table, seating and access to the infinity pool via a spiral staircase. Outside is a large garden with a play area for children and a garden for the hounds. Make yourself comfortable on the decked patio with furniture and a BBQ and enjoy the long summer evenings.
