This property is set in woodlands in the heart of an internationally known sporting estate.  The house was built in 1680 and, with the exception of plumbing and heating, has changed little during this time.  This is a house for friends and family to gather to celebrate a special occasion or just each others’ company.

The large stone floored entrance hall, with its walls of sporting trophies (stuffed game) and large mirrors, leads to a broad oak staircase up to the bedrooms. To the right of the hall is the drawing room.  Large and friendly, it is oak paneled, with comfortable seating, a piano  and a large stone fireplace.

There is a smaller and more intimate sitting room near the drawing room.  Vaguely Victorian, it nevertheless has a television, games and comfortable furniture for reading. There is a desk tucked away in a quiet recess, ideal for writing all of those holiday postcards.

To the left of the hallway is the very red dining room.  The long refectory table seats 20.  There is a large fireplace with a portable screen, the purpose of which was to shield the women from the heat so their wax makeup wouldn’t run down their faces.
 

The kitchen is a servants’ kitchen.  It isn’t pretty and it isn’t modern, but it’s large and functional.    There is a large Aga, always on, plus an electric stove, a microwave, two dishwashers and three sinks.  This kitchen is made for cooking feasts! Off the kitchen, there’s a utility with a large freezer and a mud room.  There is a guest loo on this floor.

The bedrooms are all on the top two floors of the house. They are all spacious and decorated in true British country house style, with pretty curtains and wallpaper.  Each bedroom has a telephone extension and color television.  The bathrooms are not modern, but they are all quite large and functional.
