“Walking through the house, you quickly notice the scale of the entrance hall and staircase, which immediately sets the tone for the rest of the house. The main reception rooms lead off this central space, with large windows looking out across the rear garden and open countryside beyond, giving the house a strong connection to its setting.”
Gavin Amberton — Chantries & Pewleys

Redhurst forms the central section of a substantial Victorian manor, approached via a long driveway that gradually opens out to the house and its rural surroundings. While the approach is discreet, the house opens up to the rear, where the garden and open countryside beyond become a defining part of the setting.

Inside, the scale of the house is apparent from the outset. A wide entrance hall sits at the centre of the layout, with parquet flooring, high ceilings and a broad staircase rising through the space. This hall acts as a natural hub, with the main reception rooms leading off it rather than the house feeling corridor-led. Original details including deep skirtings, cornicing, chimney breasts with access to open flues, and decorative picture windows remain throughout, reinforcing the period character. The two principal reception rooms are well proportioned and filled with natural light, each with large windows looking out across the rear garden and countryside beyond. The kitchen includes a separate larder and sits alongside one of the reception rooms, offering clear potential for reworking as part of a wider refurbishment.

The first floor is arranged around the staircase and landing, which is lit by original decorative windows. There are three double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with its own dressing room and en suite. 

The garden is arranged in two distinct sections, each used in a different way. Immediately to the rear of the house is the more cultivated garden, laid mainly to lawn with established planting that sits comfortably alongside the building and is easily accessed from the main living areas.

Beyond this is a second, separate area of garden, also laid to lawn and surrounded by mature trees and woodland. This space feels more open and set apart, providing a sense of scale and separation from neighbouring properties, while remaining clearly part of the grounds belonging to Redhurst. Together, the two sections create a total plot of approximately 0.9 acres, with the rear garden backing onto countryside beyond.

A double garage is located within a separate garage block.
