A large bathroom and dressing room complete the suite, while five further large double bedrooms are arranged across the floor alongside additional bathrooms and guest suites. The bedrooms retain the same sense of scale and symmetry found throughout the house, many framed by tall sash windows overlooking the grounds. The gardens and grounds are a defining feature of the estate. Extending to approximately 4.34 acres, they have been carefully landscaped to create a series of distinct outdoor spaces, from a formal croquet lawn to more natural riverside settings. A swimming pool and jacuzzi sits on the upper terrace with far stretching views and the astra turf tennis court is conveniently close to the house. The River Stour offers fishing and wild swimming.
