The room, which has wooden beams running across the ceilings, breathes a country feel into the home which is mirrored in each room.

From the reception hall, visitors can access the majority of the reception rooms including the drawing room, the sitting room and the library.

In the sitting room, two large sofas adorn the room, which is decorated with pale green walls, wooden flooring and a large stone fireplace.

This is complimented by the wooden panels running across the ceiling, adding to the country feel of the family home.

This same style is mirrored in the house's drawing room and library, which comes with built-in bookshelves.

Further along the ground floor, the home has a dining area in an orangery-style room with a glass ceiling and an array of glass windows looking out onto the garden.

This room is connected to the kitchen space, which has blue cabinetry, tiled flooring and an informal dining table at its centre.

Upstairs on the first floor, the home has four of its seven bedrooms, with a royal blue carpet lining the long hallway.

The biggest room on this floor is the master bedroom, which has two dressing rooms and a large ensuite bathroom.

Two more bedrooms can then be found on the second floor, with a shared family bathroom.

As well as the main home, the property also has an attached one-bedroom annexe cottage with its own living room and kitchen.

Although attached to the main abode, the cottage has all the facilities needed to act as a separate home.

Outside, the property has 21 acres of private land including a tennis court, formal gardens, an orchard, a greenhouse, ponds, a storage barn, woods, fields and a lake.

The home also has equestrian facilities including a detached stable block.

To the rear of the home, various patio areas are adorned with outside furniture for gatherings, with views of the countryside enjoyed from these areas and inside the home.

A spokesman for Neville and Neville Estate Agents, the company marketing the property, said: "A rare opportunity to purchase a beautiful country home, in an idyllic setting, with no near neighbours, which has been tastefully and sympathetically renovated by its present owner.

"Stonehouse benefits from an elevated position, which affords all the reception rooms and most of the bedrooms, wonderful views of the extensive grounds, including the beautiful lake and surrounding grass meadows."
