OVERVIEW An Edwardian mansion on 26 acres of land STS, constructed in the early 1900s with Approx. just under 9000 sq. ft. of living space. The perfect estate for a family or individual who desires a private and secure residence. This spectacular country home is gated for added security and includes a stable block, squash court, garden terrace woodlands and breath-taking views over the River Colne estuary.

Alresford Grange is representative of its architectural period. Constructed from brick, under a peg tiled roof, the external elevations are enhanced by rendering and exposed timbers, situated in an elevated position, taking full advantage of its exceptional views.

nternally, original construction features are clear, by the use of oak for almost all internal and external exposed joinery. One of most breath taking rooms in this grand home is the reception hall and the main reception rooms situated on the ground floor, being the drawing room, sitting room and dining room. The drawing room leads into a garden room which opens onto a exceptionally large terrace, which extends to most of the southern elevation of the house.

This manor house is finished to a high standard throughout offering versatile living space. The house features an Aga kitchen with Gaggenau, Miele, Liebherr appliances, gold leaf detailing within the house, mosaic tiling in the cloakroom, garden room and bathrooms and under floor heating in the garden room, master and guest suite bathrooms.

Three optional staircases lead to the first floor, the majority of the rooms on the first floor all overlook the estuary. Part of this period home could be converted to make a fully self-contained integral living space. There is also a cinema/sitting room which is wired with an entertainment system.

Outside, the grounds extend to approximately 26 acres and consist of formal and informal gardens, a stable block and squash court. The formal gardens are mainly laid to lawn and are interspersed with various shrubs, trees and flower beds.
