With its striking white rendered façade and appealing architectural design, Old Park offers the perfect blend of heritage character with contemporary interior. The original house believed to date back to 1850 provides over 4300 sq. ft of stunning, versatile, light-filled accommodation. The mellow tones of modern wood-floor covering in the spacious reception hall extends over much of the ground floor providing pleasing continuity across the freeflowing layout. Far reaching views can be enjoyed from the sitting room which features a south facing bay with sash windows and a marble fireplace, whilst the study has French doors providing a link to the garden. The impressive, open ambience of the kitchen/living area offers a sociable hub to this home with space for dining and casual seating and glazed doors which open to a terrace. Fitted with sleek cabinetry, topped with stone work surfaces, and integrated Neff and Miele appliances, the kitchen is adjoined by a practical utility room. The first floor rooms benefit from elevated vistas to the surrounding landscape and comprises five stylish en suite bedrooms. The principal room offers a luxurious retreat with a decorative fireplace, bay window seating area, well-fitted dressing room and an opulent en suite bathroom.

The property is approached via a gated entrance which opens onto a length of gravelled driveway leading to a circular centre point with majestic tree. There is parking for numerous vehicles in addition to the sheltered halt of the garaging. The views on offer are especially noteworthy, with the garden being mainly laid to lawn with manicured low-level hedging and topiary bordering the terracing which adjoins the house. Stone steps lead down to paved settings which offer opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation and gravelled pathways extend into a formal parterre garden where the quadrant beds are filled with scented and floral shrubs and perennial plants. A fully enclosed tennis court is partly obscured by high level hedging and low level shrubbery at the plot boundary afford a delightful sense of a ‘borrowed’ landscape.

This property has 1.3 acres of land.
