Look around this 21st Century stately home at Wynyard complete with games room, swimming pool and gym

Best described as a stately home for the 21st Century, The Paddocks is indeed a property with a pedigree and a historic past – it's just been updated to reflect a more modern take on the idea...while never forgetting its origins, of course.

The Wynyard estate manager’s house at the time of Lord Londonderry’s ownership, the original Georgian property has undergone significant extensions and modernisation yet retains the look and feel of a traditional home with a timeless style which is the perfect blend of classic and contemporary.

And what a home it is – offering buyers a property of palatial proportions, with a wealth of leisure facilities set amid a private estate of 42 acres of land and grounds.

The Paddocks' ground floor accommodation comprises a spacious entrance hall; two cloakrooms – one with a shower; a study; laundry room; dining room which leads, through double doors, into the spacious lounge which, in turn leads into the orangery, plus a vast open-plan kitchen diner.

Recently refurbished, this room includes a beautiful, bespoke handmade kitchen by award-winning Mowlem & Co., at the heart of which are a five-oven electric Aga and a centre island with marble tops and contrasting walnut butcher’s block, plus a breakfast bar perfect for informal family dining. The practical flooring is Italian tiles and bifold doors with electric internal blinds open up to the terrace. There is also a pantry which is sure to delight keen cooks and three skylight windows which allow light to flood into the room.

A space for the whole family to enjoy together, the open-plan kitchen area also has a generous dining area and seating area with a focal point inglenook fireplace which is home to an Aga log burner for cosy evenings by the fire. It's the ideal setting for entertaining, especially in summer when the bifold doors can be opened to allow parties to spill outside onto the stylish award-winning stone sun terrace which has mood lighting and an infinity water feature, and offers views over the estate.

The kitchen is served by an outstanding wine cellar and a circular kitchen garden with greenhouse.

The original staircase – at the top of which is a vaulted skylight – leads to the the beautifully-fitted family bathroom and five bedrooms, all of which are doubles and have contemporary en-suite facilities.

The property is perfect for those who also enjoy outdoor pursuits including equestrian sports thanks to four stable blocks and one barn (circa 9000sq.ft) to the northern fringe of the land. Suitable for use as stabling, it could be converted into a holiday let subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission.

There is also a formal gallop around the perimeter of the estate, fenced paddocks, a tennis court, a pergola with hot tub, landscaped gardens, an outdoor assault course, mature woodland, a lake and extensive lawns suitable for a helicopter to land on.

The Paddocks is approached through a private, gated entrance with a drive leading to a four-door garage. The garage block incorporates a gardener’s cloakroom and a kitchenette, with a large room above the garages that could be adapted to provide additional accommodation or a studio.

While by no means isolated, The Paddocks enjoys complete privacy and the calm afforded by its rural location and views across extensive parkland and woodland. It really is a property with the scale and wealth of features even the most discerning of buyer could ask...but most importantly it also has character to ensure it feels like a home.

Please note that the property is subject to a community charge of £450 inc VAT per annum to cover the cost of security services and the maintenance of public open spaces and woodland fringes. The Paddocks is on the market at POA.
