The house was built in 1884 by Sir Charles Walters D’Oyly, who had it built after a successful military career in the Indian Army. He retired in 1875 as a Major General.

As well as the main house, the plot features a newly built one-bedroom cottage, concealed from the main property and located beyond a walled garden with its own separate drive.
The grounds are zoned and include a mix of formal gardens and a wildflower meadow, pond and creek system. There is a three-level treehouse with a covered play area, 23ft spiral slide, with electrics and plumbing installed.

Krishan Mistry, from Nestseekers, who are selling the property, said: “This property is one of the finest examples of country living. It is an amazing home but its not your traditional house.
The property also boasts its own spa, allowing the potential buyer to enjoy relaxation time in their own home

“It is a very unusual property. The owners have refurbished it and very much designed it for their children and created everything they wanted in a home.
“The buyer will either be a young family or someone who has it as a party pad.
“I think it could appeal to an international buyer looking for a base in the UK. We’ve already had enquiries from all over the UK and one from China.
“It sits in its own 3.5-acre plot so it’s very private and secluded.”
