Sporting activities in the area include golf at Whittlebury Hall & Woburn, sailing at Caldecotte Lake, watersports at Willen Lake, indoor skiing and snowboarding at the Snozone, Milton Keynes, and of course motor racing at the world famous Silverstone race circuit.

MAIN HOUSE
The grand entrance porch opens into the palatial reception hall leading to the drawing room, library, dining room, study and kitchen/breakfast room. There are further utility spaces and access to the cellar. On the first floor the impressive landing leads to between six and ten bedrooms, the majority en-suite, depending on how the division is made.

SPA/WELLNESS CENTRE
A reception area greets you, leading to seven treatment rooms/offices, which could easily be reconfigured to suit purpose. There are various shower rooms and toilets which can serve this area, also the fully equipped restaurant, bar, swimming pool, hot tub and saunas.

OUTSIDE
The property occupies a large plot of approximately 1.14 acres, which is very accessible for vehicles and visitors, yet still offering a high degree of privacy. Numerous vehicles can be parked with flexibility to create further parking if desired. There is a large, level, walled front lawn, with the rear accommodating the swimming pool, hot tub, two saunas and outside gym.

GREEN CREDENTIALS
There are large banks of solar panels on the southerly facing roofs of the main house, which we understand to be owned outright, these feed back into the National Grid with financial benefit to the owners.
The cellar houses the central heating boilers, which are hopper-fed by organic pellets, the current owners inform us that provided there is an element of commercial use within the property then the cost of pellets is heavily subsidised, to virtually nil cost.

We recommend these arrangements are clarified and confirmed by your legal advisors.

AGENTS NOTE

However, it would lend itself to becoming a wedding venue, business headquarters, conference centre, nursing home, school, nursery, the list is endless. In all cases it is imperative that the successful purchaser establishes the correct usage can be obtained from West Northamptonshire Council.

The two saunas and hot tub are available by separate negotiation.
