Remarkable period detailing is revealed on the ground floor where the standard is set by the grand entrance. A handsome Ionic columned porch is framed by stone friezes and arches forming shelved niches either side of a panelled front door which opens into a reception hall. Rising double height, this outstanding room is illuminated by tall windows on the half landing and showcases a wealth of fine architectural features including an open string staircase with highly decorative wrought iron spindles. The hall and principal reception rooms are adorned with elegant architectural features including Adams-style fireplaces, opulent doorcase pediments, panelled doors with chrome door furniture, Ionic pilasters topped by pediments with ornate mouldings, cornicing and ceiling roses, deep skirting, stone flagged floors and 12- and 16-pane shuttered sash windows.
The kitchen is handmade in solid wood and has integrated appliances, granite work surfaces, an island unit, gas-fired Aga and a Butler sink situated below a large south facing window. Through an open archway lies the breakfast room, providing ample space for a family-sized dining table. It comes with wall-to-wall fitted storage cupboards and drawers and a cast iron grate within a marble fire surround and is situated to enjoy morning sunshine.
A study with west facing light has been fitted with bespoke cabinetry and comes with illuminated alcoves and an electric fire. What was once the footman’s office now provides a cloakroom, wc and boot room with access to the enclosed courtyard with dog shelter, at the rear of the house.
The staircase rises to an impressive galleried landing on the first floor which is currently arranged as six large double bedrooms and four bathrooms. The principal bedroom suite with its deep bay window has built-in wardrobes concealed in the wall and a palatial bathroom. Two further staircases rise separately to additional bedrooms, one with a landing giving access to an attic storage room. The two upper floors combine to offer versatile accommodation extending to nearly 4300 sq ft.
The Cottage - The self-contained, two-storey cottage is attached to the main house with a secure door connecting on the first floor. It is entirely independent and forms the southern wing to the main house, enjoying south, east and west aspects. Recently renovated to a very high standard, the kitchen/dining room includes a stylish fitted kitchen with an island unit and wonderful view across the lawned grounds. There is ample space for a large dining table and adjacent lies a sitting room with a gas-fired coal effect stove. Beneath a concealed hatch is a brick-vaulted cellar. A steep staircase rises to the first floor where two double bedrooms are served by a house bathroom.
Gardens & Grounds - The gardens, grounds and outbuildings wrap around the house with the formal gardens on three sides and extending to seven acres.
Electric iron gates within tall brick pillars open to a drive flanked on both sides by mature trees that entirely conceal the house from public view. The winding gravelled drive arrives at a large turning circle in front of the house and continues to the range of outbuildings that predominantly lie to the north and east.
The sweeping parkland lawns are punctuated with a variety of specimen trees such as oak, chestnut, beech, yew and cedar and including a magnificent leaf fern beech tree. There are herbaceous borders, two rose gardens, yew hedging providing structure. The stone flagged terrace abutting the house echoes the shape of the canted bays providing an expansive area for al fresco dining outside the dining room. A delightful, historic summer house presides over a tennis court, the landscaping following the lie of the land with a flight of stone steps descending. Within an area of woodland is a large wildlife pond. The whole is bounded by mature hedging and fencing.
The Outbuildings - The two-storey coach house and connected outbuildings are contemporaneous to the Hall and attached at the rear to neighbouring ‘Home Farm’. It currently offers garaging and stores with a loose box at the farthest end and has 3-phase electricity, power and light and is alarmed. The building extends to nearly 2000 sq ft and lends itself to conversion to business/commercial premises.
The summer house is constructed of timber on brick with a concave cedar shingle roof, six large windows and double doors opening south to the terrace and tennis court. It has electric power.
The outbuilding situated towards the head of the drive holds three stables, a red cedar greenhouse with potting shed and the pool house. The pool house faces south onto the walled garden through five arched windows each with French doors and fanlights. The heated pool is accompanied by a changing room with separate wc, a kitchenette and plant room. Outside is the lofty mellow brick wall adorned with colourful climbers, providing a natural suntrap; a pink magnolia takes centre stage on the lawn.
The open Dutch barn has four bays and could be developed into a car port; alongside is an open store.
Environs - Sigglesthorne is a pretty village with a primary school, historic twelfth century church and garden centre.
