Pyes Nest

* Pyes Nest was built c. 1910 and was originally a hunting lodge that was subsequently extended to create a very spacious and modern home within a beautiful period property. * All the rooms are very generously proportioned, have high ceilings and are fully double glazed. This wonderfully spacious home is very light and bright throughout and enjoys superb views over its own gardens and grounds, the surrounding countryside and beyond to Marcle Ridge. * Steps from the drive lead to the front door and the enclosed entrance porch, opening to the main hall.

At the top of the drive there is a large, gravelled parking area, the three-bay garage and the detached cottage. The drive leads round to the front of the main house where there is further parking. A set of automated electric gates give exit to the road. * Beautiful gardens surround the property and comprise lawned areas complemented by established borders and flower beds that are planted with a variety of flowering plants, evergreen shrubs, rhododendrons, roses and a collection of mature, specimen and native trees, creating a private arboretum.
