Description

Hartley offers a substantial and light-filled family home in a spectacular location. The home has been thoughtfully designed to maximise the far-reaching views and create plentiful natural light.

Opening to a large reception hall, the home is both impressive and welcoming in equal measure.

The kitchen is the heart of the home and a real statement room with double doors and large windows opening to the far-reaching views. A cream Aga creates a warming focal point and fitted units provide ample discreet storage. There is room for a large dining table and sofa, ideal for family suppers and informal entertaining.

A separate dining room for more formal hosting sits adjacent to the kitchen and is ideally placed to reconfigure and link with the kitchen to create an even larger open-plan kitchen/living area.

The main reception is a wonderful space for year-round hosting with a woodburning stove for the colder months and two sets of double doors opening to the patio and garden for the warmer months.

A snug/TV room overlooking the driveway, provides a useful second reception, with access to the garage.

A large utility room is ideal for hiding laundry and there is a boot room for muddy boots and country paraphernalia. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Five bedrooms are located on the first floor, the three front facing rooms all benefitting from exceptional far-reaching views. The principal and guest suites both benefit from large en-suites and walk-in dressing rooms and bedroom three is also en-suite. A family bathroom services the two front-facing bedrooms.

Garden And Grounds

Hartley's garden is truly exquisite. Totalling just under an acre, the garden comprises a thoughtfully choreographed combination of manicured topiary, level and gently sloping lawns and woodland along with strategically placed lighting to allow the garden to also be enjoyed by night.

Hidden behind the house, the garden opens to sensational far-reaching views, creating a magnificent backdrop.

A patio runs along the rear of the house, ideal for summer entertaining and relaxing, with a pretty water feature and pond. Formal box topiary creates interest along with well-established planting and dry stone walling.

Steps lead down to a large level lawn neatly framed with yew hedging. A further gently sloping lawn consigned for wild flowers leads off the main lawn, with a hedge running along the boundary between the garden and the National Trust land beyond. A garden gate gives direct access to the common.

A pretty wooded area with meandering paths is set to the side of the garden with well-established trees and woodland plants. An oak pergola frames the side of the house.

Gated driveway parking for several cars is set to the front of the property along with a double garage.
