Stokewood park house This is a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional house, which the current owners have been living in for the last 30 years, and has been a much loved family house.

The house, which was built in 1995/96, and is approached via a sweeping gravel driveway. The property is of brick construction, traditional tile roof, and refined stone quoins.

The accommodation, arranged over three floors, has generous proportions and can be seen on the floor plans.

The property features spacious flowing rooms with impressive ceiling heights, all designed to capture the commanding views that stretch across the countryside.

Each principal room has been thoughtfully positioned to maximize these spectacular vistas, creating a seamless connection between indoor luxury and the natural beauty beyond.

Situated to the north of the house and with a separate access from the main drive, is the courtyard of outbuildings. There is a large flint barn with a slate roof with a double garage at one end.

Connected to this is a run of stables. To the other side of the courtyard is a triple garage and garden store. Stokewood cottages Positioned to the rear of the barn are two semi-detached cottages.

These are constructed of rendered elevations with slate roofs and do require some modernisation.
