The house is a fantastic example of contemporary Arts & Crafts architecture and has undergone an extensive refurbishment by the current owners to create a superb family home with impressive modern features. The commanding position of Lime Kiln House offers breath taking views over the surrounding countryside from many of the rooms. On entrance to the house, a vast reception hall with galleried staircase leads to the formal reception rooms. The drawing room is of particular note, with hand crafted panelling, a suspended ceiling and a library in the corner of the room. The views are superb, and bi fold doors lead out to the garden and leisure complex. The striking kitchen/breakfast/family room is on the other side of the reception hall and contains a bespoke fitted kitchen featuring work surfaces constructed from local marble. This is a wonderful room for the whole family to congregate, and there is separate access via the utility room. Also on this side of the house is the large cinema room, with doors leading to an area of decking, ideal for outdoor entertaining. The attention to detail in the work carried out is noticeable throughout, and continues to the first floor where a vast master bedroom suite with an imposing vaulted ceiling occupies one side of the house. Stairs lead up from the master bedroom to a second floor bathroom, an insightful addition where some of the best views in the house can be seen from the bath. Another bedroom with en suite shower room occupies this side of the house. The galleried landing leads over the reception hall to a further three bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms. The family room and sixth bedroom with en-suite shower room can be accessed via a secondary staircase. Leisure Complex The indoor leisure complex features a swimming pool with ample seating space around and a wonderful mural, along with a sauna, changing room and WC. The plant room features a Heatstar system which heats the pool as well as dehumidifying the pool area.
