Description

Stoke Park is a classically beautiful Grade II* listed country house, with wonderful proportions situated within lovely private grounds. The house is surrounded by a mixture of formal gardens and paddock land, together with a courtyard of outbuildings which are very much in keeping with the main house. The early Georgian architecture provides a classic country house with the principal elevation including a beautiful ionic door case with beautiful stone masonry, classic quoin work and symmetrical Georgian sash windows with stone lintels.

The accommodation is beautifully presented throughout the house, with a wealth of traditional and elegant Georgian, Victorian and 17th century features including beautiful panelled doors, original moulding and panelling prevalent in the Georgian part and splendid joinery. The house has been renovated to enhance the best of the original features together with modern fixtures and fittings, state of the art technology and an elegant modern day finish.
Behind the Georgian façade, is an interesting combination of architecture providing a very different feel to the house. An early Victorian link provides a middle spine to the house which attaches to an older section to the rear of the house which is thought to date back to the 17th century. This combines beautifully with the rest of the house, having a formal façade with the formal reception rooms and bedrooms and the remainder situated within the early Victorian and 17th century offering for perfect family accommodation.

Stoke Park has two main points of entrance, the formal entrance which is through the main Georgian façade and leads into an entrance hall with the Georgian staircase in front of you. The elegant drawing room is on your right hand side, with original panelled walls and mouldings and beautiful sash windows. Being double aspect this room has working shutters and lovely views over the gardens which you can view from window seats. There is a wood burner with a marble surround and wide oak board flooring. To the left of the entrance hall is the formal dining room, which has Georgian panelling, a wood burning stove and a door leading into a separate office. A further door leads into a separate room which is currently being used as a Gin bar.

Flagstone steps lead down to the kitchen breakfast, which is within the Victorian part of the house. The kitchen is fitted with stylish wall and base units, granite worktops, with a solid oak breakfast bar and a Lacanche range oven. There is under floor heating throughout the kitchen and breakfast area and the beautiful Amdega conservatory, which is accessed through double doors off the kitchen. Beyond the kitchen breakfast room is the sitting room, which has a wood burning stove. There is a separate WC, a larder and a secondary kitchen, along with a boot room and a door leading outside.
