THIS mansion in Antrobus, complete with original Georgian features, a library, games room and wine cellar, is on the market for £2.95 million.
This beautiful Grade II listed Georgian mansion in Pole Lane – nestled in around 10.5 acres – is made up of four reception rooms, an extended living/kitchen space and six double bedrooms.
As you enter the property, there is a porch area featuring original stone flooring, leading to an entrance hall with an elegant, curved staircase.
Off the hall there are reception rooms, including a dual aspect sitting room, and a dining room, which is currently being used as a study.
The morning room features an open fireplace with a marble surround and enjoys lovely west facing aspects overlooking the side courtyard and fountain.
This leads through to a drawing room, which retains many original features, including revealed archways, high ceilings, and an ornate floor to ceiling stone fireplace.
The kitchen/dining room is a recent extension to the property with a large walk-in pantry and adjoining boot room.
The lower ground floor offers a large games room, study - which would make an ideal library or cinema room - a barrel vaulted wine cellar, a large reception room which would lend itself to a gymnasium, and a boiler room.
In addition, there is a cloakroom housing a WC and wash hand basin.
The first floor houses a library with revealed beamwork and a glazed door to a largeoutside roof terrace.
The spacious first floor landing offers access to the master bedroom and en-suite, two further double bedrooms and a family shower room.
The grand south-facing master bedroom offers far reaching views via two large sash windows, and the focal point of the room is a cast iron fireplace with marble surround.
Bedroom two is a dual aspect double bedroom offering views over the rural landscape, bedroom three is a spacious double bedroom offering an easterly aspect, and both have access to the family shower room.
An inner landing on the first floor is fitted with a staircase leading to the second floor, which at one time would have been the servants’ quarters.
This is fitted with a range of built in wardrobes and offers access to three large double bedrooms each with built in storage and wardrobe space.
The family bathroom has been designed to an exacting standard comprising a large walk in fully tiled shower cubicle, freestanding bath, WC and antique style wash hand basin.
Outside, there is a long sweeping driveway, lined with lime trees, and a pond.
The majority of the beech hedging around the property is newly planted as is the ornamental topiary and main lawns, which were both imported from Holland.
In addition to the sprawling lawn gardens, there is a meadow to the front boundary.
