Winterlake Winterlake is approached off a country lane through a broad gravel entrance with stone gateposts and double, wrought-iron gates. The driveway leads through the grounds, terminating in a parking area at the front of the house. The house was originally constructed in the late 1960s with later additions and is constructed of block under a tile roof. The house is classically designed with a central reception hall leading off to well-proportioned rooms that were designed to specifically take advantage of the views. The house is very light with sash windows on both the ground and first floor. Of particular note are the light and well-proportioned drawing and dining rooms, both of which benefit from the pretty outlook over the parkland and views beyond. The first floor accommodation is accessed via the main staircase from the reception hall as well as from a lift. The master bedroom is double aspect with lovely views over the gardens and grounds and is en-suite with an additional dressing room. There are six further bedrooms and three further bathrooms, one of the bedrooms is currently used as a study and the other as a storeroom but the accommodation is flexible and can be used in many ways to suit the required purpose. There is extensive storage in the roof space that is accessed via the lift and a small section of stairs which could be converted if required. The house sits on an elevated position surrounded by its gardens, grounds and outbuildings. Running the length of the front façade is a broad entertaining terrace with a retaining wall and steps leading down to the formal lawn to the front of the house. The land falls away from the house beyond the ha-ha with the top section divided by post and rail paddocks. The lower area often forms a lake in the winter months and is the reason why the property is called Winterlake.
