Extending to approximately 7,610 sq ft, the accommodation is arranged over two principal floors and retains an exceptional collection of architectural details. Rich timber panelling, elaborate plasterwork, decorative ceilings, impressive fireplaces, tall windows and a magnificent staircase combine to create interiors of genuine distinction. The ground floor is particularly impressive, beginning with a substantial entrance lobby before opening into a magnificent entrance reception at the heart of the property.

Beyond the private outside space lie approximately 17 acres of communal grounds, creating a remarkable setting for a home of this scale and character. Ground Floor: The sense of arrival begins within an impressive entrance lobby, a substantial and beautifully detailed space which also provides a practical cloaks and storage area. A striking monochrome tiled floor runs beneath an elaborately decorated ceiling with ornate plasterwork and a series of traditional lanterns, while tall arched windows bring natural light into the room. Extensive fitted storage is discreetly incorporated along one wall, and substantial glazed timber double doors provide an immediate view through into the magnificent entrance reception beyond. This remarkable central space immediately establishes the scale and architectural importance of the property. Extensively lined with richly toned timber panelling, the entrance reception features beautifully carved detailing, substantial fluted columns and an elaborate decorative ceiling framed by deep cornicing with gilt detailing. Impressive chandeliers emphasise the height and grandeur of the room, while large windows bring natural light across the polished timber floor. The exceptional proportions allow the entrance reception to be arranged as a series of interconnected areas, providing generous space for seating and entertaining rather than functioning simply as a hallway. A particularly fine carved timber decorative fireplace creates a handsome focal point, with further intricately carved joinery continuing throughout. Rising directly from the entrance reception is a magnificent timber staircase, with a broad first flight, substantial turned balustrading and beautifully detailed timber panelling continuing alongside.

Beautifully formed curved timber balustrading follows its circumference, with decorative plasterwork and gilt detailing framing the opening and providing an extraordinary perspective through the centre of the house. A door from the entrance reception leads into the dining kitchen, an equally memorable room where the scale and decorative detailing of Rangemore Hall combine with the practical requirements of a contemporary kitchen.

The architectural detailing is particularly striking, with elaborate plasterwork extending across the walls and ceiling, deep decorative cornicing and an impressive chandelier. An ornate decorative marble fireplace provides another focal point, while tall windows and glazed doors bring excellent natural light into the room and draw the eye towards the grounds beyond. Beyond the dining area, a series of substantial classical columns creates a broad opening into the adjoining family room. This architectural division allows the two rooms to remain visually connected while retaining their own distinct identities. The family room is beautifully proportioned, continuing the elaborate decorative plasterwork and period detailing of the dining kitchen. A further decorative marble fireplace forms a natural focal point, complemented by a chandelier and an impressive arrangement of tall windows and glazed doors. Collectively, the kitchen, dining area and family room create an extraordinary open plan living and entertaining space, providing clearly defined areas for cooking, dining and relaxation while retaining an exceptional sense of scale and connection. Glazed doors from the family room open directly onto a private paved patio, establishing an immediate relationship between the principal living accommodation and outside space. From here, broad stone steps descend to the substantial terrace overlooking the grounds and lake, creating a natural continuation of the entertaining space during the warmer months. First Floor: The main staircase rises through the heart of the house to a quite exceptional first floor landing, where the craftsmanship of the entrance reception continues at an equally impressive level. Richly finished timber balustrading wraps around the stairwell, while substantial carved columns and arches frame the different sections of the landing. Above, an extraordinary barrel vaulted glazed roof floods the central landing with natural light, with a chandelier suspended beneath and complemented by decorative plasterwork, deep cornicing and subtle gilt detailing. At its centre, the circular gallery creates another memorable architectural feature, its beautifully curved timber balustrading surrounding the opening to the floor below and maintaining the visual connection between the two levels.

Tall windows provide excellent natural light and attractive views, while period detailing continues through the room with decorative plasterwork and a decorative marble fireplace. The suite also benefits from extensive fitted storage and its own en suite bathroom. Bedroom two is another particularly substantial dual aspect bedroom, enjoying excellent natural light and attractive views from its tall windows. Decorative cornicing and ceiling detailing reinforce the period character of the room, while the generous proportions provide ample space for substantial bedroom furniture. Its adjoining en suite bathroom is unusually generous and has the proportions of a room in its own right. A freestanding roll top bath is positioned to enjoy the outlook through the window, complemented by twin wash hand basins and WC. A decorative marble fireplace provides an unexpected focal point, while the fitted cabinet complements the character and presentation of the room and will remain as part of the bathroom. Bedroom three is another generously proportioned double bedroom, with a large window bringing excellent natural light into the room. Decorative cornicing and ceiling plasterwork continue the architectural detailing, while a decorative marble fireplace provides a further focal point.

Bedroom five provides further flexible bedroom accommodation and enjoys an attractive outlook over the grounds. Decorative wall panelling, cornicing and period detailing maintain the character of the wider accommodation, while the room could equally lend itself to use as a study or occasional bedroom if preferred. A separate shower room positioned adjacent to bedroom five serves this part of the accommodation and is fitted with a substantial enclosed shower, pedestal wash hand basin and WC. Completing the first floor accommodation is a useful laundry and store room, comprehensively fitted with a range of wall and base cabinetry providing excellent storage, work surfaces, a sink and space and plumbing for laundry appliances. A large window provides natural light and an attractive outlook. Immediately adjacent is a separate walk in storage cupboard, providing particularly useful additional space and ideal for luggage and less frequently used household items. Outside: The Bass Wing enjoys a particularly attractive relationship with the surrounding grounds of Rangemore Hall. Immediately outside the family room is a private paved patio, providing an intimate space for morning coffee or informal outdoor seating directly alongside the house. Broad stone steps descend from here to a substantial private terrace, creating an impressive outdoor entertaining area. The terrace enjoys an elevated outlook across the surrounding parkland and towards the lake, with a traditional ha ha preserving the uninterrupted view across the landscape. Its scale provides ample room for outdoor furniture and makes this a particularly appealing setting for relaxing, alfresco dining and entertaining.
