Description:

Listed Grade II being of architectural and historic interest, Rivenhall Place has Tudor origins clearly seen in the magnificent chimneys. The house has evolved over the years, most notably in the 18th Century alterations advised by Humphry Repton creating the near perfect symmetry of the white stuccoed front elevation. Internally the house combines elegant, light and spacious reception rooms with comfortable bedroom accommodation on the first and second floors. In recent years the house has undergone an extensive refurbishment programme including a new bespoke kitchen by Yeo Deign with a unique sculpted style and clean lines and full-length sash windows opening onto the south facing garden terrace. The Great Hall with its striking sense of light and space as you enter the house has double doors opening into the beautifully proportioned drawing room which itself is centred on a magnificent hand carved fireplace with a woodburning stove. The house is a very manageable family home combining today’s modern living standards with a deep sense of history. The ground floor reception areas have a comfortable flow whilst each of the principal bedrooms on the first floor enjoy very special views over the Repton landscape. Adjoining the principal house is the three bedroom cottage which is currently let on Air Bn B providing a useful income but could readily be incorporated into the house to give additional accommodation. Outside The gardens and grounds provide a tranquil yet mature setting for the house. Designed by the pre-eminent landscape architect Sir Humphry Repton with more recent embellishments. To the south a paved terrace is shaded by a magnificent Cedar of Lebanon and enjoys views over the formal gardens and lawns sweeping gently down to the first of the two lakes. Concealed by mature yew hedges is the swimming pool with separate Jacuzzi and well fitted pool house. There are a useful range of outbuildings including the coach. Still available at ListedBuy!
