From summer celebrations on the terrace to peaceful mornings on the principal suite’s balcony, The Meadows offers a country lifestyle on an exceptional scale.

Set within over eight acres, this distinctive home pairs generous entertaining spaces with the privacy of mature gardens and open grounds.

Vaulted ceilings, expansive glazing and a striking galleried entrance give the interiors a wonderful sense of light and volume, while five bedrooms and five bathrooms provide comfort for family and guests.

It is a home in which to bring everyone together, with space to retreat, work and enjoy the outdoors in equal measure.

The accommodation extends to over 5,000 sq ft overall, including the detached garage and first-floor office.

A generous entrance hall introduces the house, opening into a thoughtful arrangement of reception rooms that allows family life and entertaining to flow naturally.

The kitchen and living space forms a sociable centre, complemented by a separate dining room, lounge, snug and games room.

A pantry, utility room, boot room and two ground-floor cloakrooms provide the practical support a substantial country home demands.

Upstairs, five bedrooms are served by five bathrooms, with the principal suite enjoying a freestanding bath, dressing room, en-suite and private balcony.

A galleried landing and two staircases add architectural interest and flexibility to the layout.

The detached garage’s independently accessed office creates a useful separation between home and working life, while the surrounding grounds offer a setting in which family interests and outdoor living can flourish.

Reception Rooms The entrance makes an immediate impression, with a broad timber staircase, glass balustrading and a gallery above.

A second double-height hall, with exposed beams, tall glazing and a spiral staircase, carries this sense of light and space through the house, giving views towards the gardens and a memorable setting in which to welcome guests.

At the heart of daily life, the kitchen combines cream cabinetry, dark worktops and a substantial island with space to gather while meals are prepared.

Beyond, the vaulted living and breakfast area is framed by exposed timbers, broad windows and bi-folding doors.

Breakfast overlooking the garden, relaxed afternoons with family and drinks spilling out onto the terrace all feel equally at home here.

For larger occasions, the dining room offers generous space for a substantial table, with timber flooring, a brick fireplace surround and several sets of glazed doors.

It is an inviting room for Christmas lunches and family celebrations, with a natural connection to the neighbouring lounge.

The substantial lounge features a contemporary inset fireplace and wide glazed openings create a comfortable space for evenings together, opening onto a raised deck for drinks overlooking the grounds.

A separate snug provides a quieter retreat, while the elongated games room offers ample space for a pool table and seating.

The choice of reception rooms allows different generations to enjoy their own space, with room for lively gatherings, film evenings and quieter moments away from the main living areas.

A pantry, utility room, boot room and two ground-floor cloakrooms provide the practical support a substantial country home demand.

Bedrooms The principal suite is a particularly indulgent retreat, with a generous bedroom flowing into a bathing area centred around a freestanding roll top copper bath.

Glazing draws in the rural outlook, while doors open onto a balcony, creating a peaceful place for morning coffee or a quiet evening above the gardens.

A separate dressing room, currently used for exercise equipment, and en-suite complete the suite. Four further double bedrooms provide welcoming accommodation for children and visiting family.

Three have their own en-suite facilities, while the remaining bedroom connects to a Jack and Jill bathroom that is also accessible from the landing.

The five-bathroom arrangement offers valuable privacy and convenience, allowing the house to accommodate guests without compromising everyday family life.

Outside A sweeping gravel driveway, mature trees and clipped hedging create a welcoming approach, with extensive parking in front of the house and access to the detached garage.

Above the garage, an office reached by its own staircase provides a dedicated place to work, pursue a creative interest or study away from the main household.

The gardens have been arranged to offer several distinct places to sit and entertain.

A broad paved terrace provides room for a large dining table and outdoor seating, while the raised timber deck beside the lounge offers another perspective over the grounds.

With doors opening outside from several reception rooms, the house is particularly well suited to summer entertaining, from relaxed barbecues to larger gatherings with family and friends.

Beyond the terraces, lawns, established planting and mature trees give way to the wider grounds.

In all, the property extends to over eight acres with excellent grazing for horses or livestock with the second paddock also benefitting from a fresh water well.

The land provides an exceptional sense of space and the freedom for outdoor play, gardening and walks within your own setting.

A productive garden area and timber garden buildings add further interest, while the surrounding countryside provides a fitting backdrop to this substantial family home.
