Property description

A Northamptonshire stone built equestrian country house approached by a private driveway set within 5.15 acres, located in the semi rural hamlet of Petsoe End, just a mile from Olney. Additional acreage approaching 10 acres is available by separate negotiation.

The property has been extended and improved over the years by the vendors to create a spacious country house with a focus on fitness and leisure with a 17 metre indoor heated swimming pool, a gym, seven stables, tack room, hay barn, a 40 x 20 ft menage, and outbuildings. With over 7,600 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation, an impressive reception hall leads to the principal reception rooms giving a good flow through the space for modern family life and entertaining. The kitchen is both spacious and light and features a bespoke solid wood fitted kitchen/breakfast room and a spacious utility room. The principal bedroom suite offers country views with two dressing rooms and an ensuite bathroom and there are five further bedrooms and two Jack and Jill bathrooms on the first floor. All the bathrooms and cloakrooms are finished to a high specification.

The bespoke Underwood kitchen/breakfast room has a range of base and full height solid wood maple wood units including a larder cupboard, pan drawers and pull out wicker drawers, with granite splashbacks and work surfaces incorporating a double stainless steel sink and drainer with hot, cold and filtered water, a boiling water tap and an Insinkerator waste disposal unit. The central island has a trash compactor, a prep sink, and a breakfast bar. There is a three oven Aga and an Aga companion oven with a gas hob an extractor over. Other integrated Neff appliances include a steam oven, a microwave, a dishwasher and an American style fridge/freezer and further under counter fridge.
