Formerly the Vicarage to the adjoining 13th century church of St Giles, Tadlow House was built by Downing College, Cambridge in 1832. The property is a classic example of Georgian architecture with generous and elegant accommodation, arranged over two floors. The present owners have undertaken extensive renovation throughout including installing insulation in the walls, floors and ceilings to create the perfect balance of contemporary living within a period frame, yet retained many of the original features. These include deep skirtings, impressive 10'9" celings, moulded cornicing and working shutters to deep sash windows. A fine portico entrance with substantial panelled front door and fanlight over leads to a spacious “L” shaped Reception Hall with elegant easy rising staircase and mahogany handrail. Three principal reception rooms comprise the south and west facing dual aspect study, an impressive drawing room with open fireplace, marble surround and slate hearth, and a fine dining room again with fireplace and hearth. Both also have French doors onto the gardens to the east and south aspects. The internal hall leads through to a ground floor cloakroom and two doors, one accessing the cellar and the other a secondary staircase. The front aspect has a snug/tv room with log burner and a separate breakfast room. A superb extended kitchen/breakfast room has a range of fitted cabinets with built in appliances, granite surfaces and breakfast bar. Windows to two aspects ensure this is a bright and welcoming space which leads to a utility room and fitted boot room. A feature glass lobby connects the kitchen to the games room. The games room has a double height ceiling and mezzanine floor to one end on which there is a gymnasium. A one bedroom annexe is located above the utility room and boot room which is equipped with a kitchen/breakfast area, a double bedroom and a private bathroom. First floor accommodation has 9 ft ceiling heights and comprises the stunning principal bedroom suite with fitted dressing room and ensuite bathroom. There are five further bedrooms and two bathrooms. Access can also be gained via a concealed staircase to the attic providing storage space, and a landing housing the comms systems.

The west facing house is approached over a sweeping tree lined drive with shaped bushes to a wide gravelled parking area to the front and side. The once walled front aspect has been sympathetically landscaped providing a block terrace with inset planted beds, an ideal area for entertaining. The gardens and grounds extend to circa 9.89 acres and create an idyllic setting for the house comprising formal and informal areas.
