Lime Grove Manor is an exceptional individually designed residence of impressive scale and distinction. Originally forming part of the neighbouring property's stable block, it was extensively transformed and significantly enlarged by the current owners approximately 15 years ago, creating a remarkably versatile home suited to either large-scale family living or multi-generational occupation with an annex. A striking reception hall with elegant arched glazing provides an impressive arrival. From the split-level entrance, steps descend to the principal living accommodation, comprising a handcrafted bespoke breakfast kitchen, elegant lounge, dining room, utility room, two cloakrooms and side entrance, together with access to the double garage, garden orangery and gym. The first floor offers four bedrooms, including a magnificent principal suite with luxurious en-suite bathroom and Juliet balcony. A guest bedroom also benefits from en-suite facilities, complemented by a further family bathroom. To the opposite wing, an inner hallway leads to three further double bedrooms, a bathroom, shower room, study/pantry and a well-appointed annex living dining kitchen. The quality of craftsmanship and finish throughout is evident, with bespoke fittings and premium materials creating a refined and luxurious environment. Beautifully landscaped gardens extend around the property, the grounds totalling approximately 0.65 acres and incorporating a variety of seating areas, an external garden orangery and gazebo. A sweeping gated driveway creates an imposing approach and serves an excellent range of outbuildings, including an integral double garage, substantial detached garage/workshop with three-phase power, carport and gym. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, flexibility and quality of accommodation on offer.
