AN ATTRACTIVE FAMILY HOME OFFERING WELL-PRESENTED AND SPACIOUS SIX-BEDROOM ACCOMMODATION, INCLUDING A GAMES ROOM, SET AT THE END OF A LONG PRIVATE DRIVE IN AN ELEVATED AND SECLUDED POSITION

The Rookery was originally part of the historic Gennings Estate, the main house of which dates back to 1745. In the late 19th century, the estate was associated with Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, who later served as Prime Minister from 1905–1908 and he and his wife used Gennings Park as their country residence during this time. There is also a link to Jane Austin, with suggestions that the estate may have inspired elements of Pride and Prejudice, though this is not conclusive.

Approached via a long private driveway, The Rookery has ample space for parking several cars. Entering into the front door there is a small hallway with a large understairs cupboard convenient for coats and shoes. The door opens into a bright and airy kitchen/breakfast room, thoughtfully designed with both style and practicality in mind, featuring a window lantern that floods the space with natural light creating a welcoming hub ideal for family life and informal entertaining. There are patio doors providing access to the conservatory plus a door to the garden and an opening into the sitting room.

Accessed from the kitchen/breakfast room is a thoughtfully converted garage which provides a flexible living space currently being used as a games room. This area leads to a utility room and downstairs cloakroom, with stairs up to a double bedroom with en suite.

The stairs from the front entrance take you up to the first floor where there is a family bathroom, principal bedroom with ensuite and dressing room and two double bedrooms. Further stairs take you to the second floor with two further bedrooms which are currently being used as studies.

The garden wraps around three sides of the house and is mainly laid to lawn, with large established trees at the boarders making it feel secluded, there is also a large decked area perfect for alfresco dining and a small shed.
