To one side, discover a fantastic games room equipped with a pool table and table tennis, while the formal lounge offers ample comfortable seating and a large smart TV for relaxed evenings. Move through to the impressive bar area, where floor to ceiling glass windows flood the room with natural light. Sink into the plush seating or perch on a bar stool and savour your favourite drink. Continuing through the main entrance hall, passing a convenient downstairs WC, you'll arrive at the heart of the home, the main kitchen and dining area. This space features a cosy second lounge with a smart TV and a wood burner, ideal for winter nights. Adjacent is a large formal dining table, perfect for celebratory meals. The expansive kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook up a storm, complete with a handy utility room. At the far side of the property, the reading room offers a tranquil spot to enjoy stunning countryside views and immerse yourself in a good book. The pièce de résistance of the downstairs is a secret panel in the reading room that leads to a huge cinema room, boasting plenty of comfortable seating for stylish movie nights. When it's time to retire for the evening, a grand sweeping staircase leads to five luxurious bedrooms, each adorned with exquisite mattresses and sumptuous linens to ensure a perfect night's sleep. The accommodation includes two super king size rooms, two king size rooms, and a double room, all featuring their own en suites. This floor also offers another kitchen and living space, perfect for teenagers or anyone seeking a quiet moment away from the group. This additional space includes a kitchenette, dining area, and a small lounge with a smart TV. Outside, the property is arguably even more impressive than the interior, with outstanding panoramic views of the surrounding open countryside. Multiple seating areas invite you to relax in the sun on a lounger or enjoy a morning coffee.
