Upon entering the home, the large reception hall gives a sense of how grand Grove House is, with its oak staircase that rises to a galleried landing.
The rest of the ground floor comprises a sitting room, study, open-plan kitchen/dining/garden room, a separate kitchenette, laundry room and cloakroom.
The sitting room is a large space that's ideal for relaxing, with its open fireplace and stone surround offering a nice place to warm up in the winter months, while in the summer, two sets of bi-fold doors open out onto the covered terrace.
The study is double aspect and could be used as either a snug or TV room.
At the heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen/dining/garden room, which provides wonderful day-to-day living. The kitchen has been fitted with handmade painted shaker-style units, with tumbled granite worktops and matching island. There are also integrated appliances, including a Siemens double oven, two dishwashers, fridge and freezer, and the kitchen is air conditioned.
The dining and garden room area offer plenty of space for hosting social gatherings, with bi-fold doors out the covered terrace.
In addition to the living accommodation on the ground floor, there is also an indoor swimming pool complex with its own integrated kitchenette, twin-tiled changing rooms with showers and separate cloakroom. This area also provides access to the pump room and additional store.
Heading upstairs there are five bedrooms, with the master featuring generous ceiling heights, air conditioning, dressing room and luxurious en suite with two sinks, WC, bath and walk-in shower.
Bedroom four also has an en-suite shower room, while bedroom three has a range of large built-in wardrobes, and bedroom two has direct access to the family bathroom, which also serves the fifth bedroom. Completing the first floor is a large linen cupboard, which also houses the IT/entertainment centre.
The home enjoys large amounts of natural light and underfloor heating on both floors, and is also wired ready for solar panels and battery storage.
Outside, Grove House is approached through a solid-wood electric gate, leading to a large circular driveway. The gardens are vast with an array of large lawn areas, trees and shrubs. Bedfords describe the gardens as “truly special”.
A large terrace allows for a variety of outdoor furniture, and a nearby illuminated woodland walk offers a tranquil escape away from the house.
