Description
Rayworth Park is a substantial country house with 5,244 sqft of accommodation over two floors. The house has undergone a substantial renovation program and has been redesigned and extended with great flair to include a more contemporary style finish. All the rooms are beautifully finished with light-filed accommodation throughout the property. The impressive kitchen is centrally positioned within the house and has a comprehensive range of modern units with numerous integral appliances, granite work tops, a Lacanche range cooker and central granite island.
There is an impressive staircase to a large galleried landing off which are four superb double bedrooms (three are en suite) with two fully fitted dressing rooms (formally bedrooms) off the principal bedroom. The bathrooms are of the very best quality with the principal en suite being particularly well-finished including stunning mosaic tiling and green marble surrounds. The dressing rooms are completely fitted out with wall to wall wardrobes along with leather floor tiles. The house is surrounded by lawned gardens interspersed with several established trees with a stable block on one side and an off shoot from the main drive to a barn style house which incorporates garaging, a gym and a further first floor apartment. The equestrian enthusiast can take advantage of the stables, all weather manege, hay storage area and paddocks.
Outside
Rayworth Park is approached through electric gates and onto a long gravelled drive which culminates in a wide parking sweep to the front of the property. There are landscaped gardens to the front and wide terrace areas around the house for entertaining. The stable block is set to the side of the house with 4 stables, a tack room, feed store and double machinery garage. There are post and railed paddocks with two field shelters to the front and a further stable block to the rear of the property along with meadows and a small all weather manege. The paddocks are enclosed by established hedges and fencing interspersed by various specimen trees.
The detached barn style house (1,458 sqft) is set back from the main drive with a triple garage along with a delightful self contained separate annexe above. The main accommodation of the barn house itself consists of three bedrooms and a well-fitted modern kitchen/breakfast room which opens into the living room.
There is a gym to the side of the house which could also be incorporated into the accommodation.
The property also has an agricultural entrance off the road.
