"Panters" Real Estate Property Tour Video

Panters was purchased by the current owners in 1969 as a family retreat. The man who built it in the 1800s managed the water meadows, a testament to traditional farming and land management, the house has never flooded in 55 years. Between 1969 and 1971, Panters undertook extensive renovations, rebuilding the house around its original structure and preserving everything they could. More recently the house has undergone a significant refurbishment including full re-decoration and re-carpeting, upgrading the electrics and work on the roof and chimneys.
Panters is truly a very special family home. The welcoming entrance hall has plenty of space for kicking off muddy boots and storing coats, and from here double doors lead into the main reception room. This large room is a great place especially when all the family comes together. In summer, when the French doors are open, it's cool and calm and the adjacent Garden Room is a wonderful space from which to admire the garden in every season.
The little sitting room is perfect for watching television on winter nights and with its newly fitted wood burner and floor to ceiling bookshelves, this room is a very cosy space. One of the most striking features of the house is the amazing wooden staircase, a grand and unexpected flourish in an otherwise understated house.
The rustic country style kitchen is a lovely place to cook. There is plenty of room for everyone to be together, children have lots of space for activities and the Aga creates a wonderfully cosy atmosphere making it the real heart of the home. With a stone flagged floor, a pantry, plenty of storage, and the large dining area off to one side, this is a fabulous family space. Best of all, from the kitchen window, you can enjoy the most stunning views of the river as it turns pink at sunset.
On the first floor, the house has 3 very large bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. Each of the bedrooms has its own unique character; a stone mullion window or a window seat. The master bedroom has glorious views across the fields and river and you can hear the river when you open the windows and watch swans, coots, moorhens, pheasants, and woodpeckers.
On the top floor are 2 'cosy' bedrooms with sloping ceilings and fabulous far-reaching views. Large storage cupboards and shelving have cleverly utilised the space and there is also a third bathroom with a unique stone mullion window.
The house has 3 large family bathrooms, all with windows overlooking the gardens. The bathrooms are all fully serviceable, and one has a newly fitted shower cubicle, however all of the bathrooms would probably require updating in time.
When the current owners first acquired the property, the grounds were wild and filled with giant thistles. Over the years the gardens were created into a haven for the family, a place where the children could run free and explore.
The garden is now undoubtedly one of Panters' greatest achievements and is full of different moods and areas. In total the grounds cover 3.7 acres which include water meadows, lawns, a walled garden, ornamental garden, vegetable garden, orchard and ponds. You can enjoy a picnic under the apple trees, relax and read a book on the steps by the river, enjoy the sunshine on the patio, explore the meadow area around the pond or hide in the secret garden framed by wisteria! The garden is a gem that would instantly delight any gardener or garden lover and offers a significant opportunity for further cultivation and self-expression over time.
There is a variety of outbuildings, including a tool shed, woodshed and potting shed, and the garden also has the most beautiful and high-spec greenhouse, with power and ventilation. Both the outbuildings and the water meadows offer wonderful opportunities for development and for new owners to express their own identity (subject to the necessary planning consents).
