A recently completed contemporary country house in a lovely rural setting.

THE PROPERTY Old Rushmere is a fascinating country house with a lovely contemporary feel. Our client bought the property in 2016 and almost completely replaced the old house with what you see today. The accommodation is arranged over three floors and offers well proportioned and flexible accommodation. At the heart of the house is a very large kitchen/breakfast room and beyond that there are three principle reception rooms, a family room and study. Upstairs there are three bedroom suites and then three further bedrooms, a family bathroom and a wash room. The top floor with two of the bedrooms and has been designed to be used as a self contained area if required. Within the grounds there are a good range of outbuildings including an office building, double garage and further garage, workshop, stable and tennis court. The house sits in 3 acres of ground with attractive views over open countryside and is one that has to be viewed to be truly appreciated.

Approached via a separate access is the yard area where the other outbuilding is located made up of a garage, workshop, and stable.
