What the Owner says:

“It appeals to all generations and is perfect for small gatherings and large parties. Warm and cosy in the winter, the rooms unfold into the gardens in the summer. We have had some wonderful celebrations here, including toddler parties in the courtyard, teenage parties in the cottage, formal parties in the house, bonfire parties in the paddock and pool and tennis parties by the pizza oven. Having the space around the house to enjoy the environment makes all the difference.

This, coupled with the serenity and the uninterrupted sunrises and sunsets, make this a magical home. It is hard to believe it is within the M25 and so close to central London. The New England style kitchen/breakfast room leads out in several directions to the family room, entrance hall and to the drive and stable area to the exterior. It’s also open-plan to the snug area which, in turn, affords access to the courtyard garden, dining area and more formal sitting area with a double-aspect wood burner.

The formal living area looks up the curved stairs leading to four bedrooms, down to the dining area and through the glass link into the cottage wing where, in winter, you can sit in one area and see fires glowing in the woodburners in both aspects of the house.

The linked oak and glass walkway to the adjoining cottage incorporates more open-plan living and the two further bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms."
