Al acercarse por un camino privado que serpentea suavemente a través de parques y bosques antiguos y maduros, Bertholey se revela con una tranquila sensación teatral. El viaje culmina en una posición elevada, donde la casa principal ofrece amplias vistas de la campiña ondulada y su elegante fachada está enmarcada por jardines formales y una fuente central. Bertholey es una excepcional residencia catalogada de grado II, reconstruida a principios de la década de 2000 con una atención meticulosa a los detalles que honra sus orígenes históricos y, al mismo tiempo, ofrece la comodidad y el rendimiento de una casa moderna. Desde el momento en que uno entra, el ambiente es de una grandeza discreta. Una amplia sala de recepción, definida por pisos de mármol, columnas clásicas y una amplia escalera, marca la pauta para una casa diseñada tanto para el entretenimiento como para la vida familiar. Los interiores están repletos de detalles, con acabados a medida y mármol importado que aportan una sensación de artesanía y permanencia en todas partes. Las salas principales fluyen sin esfuerzo y ofrecen una serie de espacios elegantes para reuniones formales, además de áreas más íntimas para la vida diaria. Las amplias suites de un dormitorio están distribuidas en los pisos superiores, lo que crea una sensación de privacidad y separación, mientras que un ascensor conecta discretamente los niveles de la casa. En el centro de la oferta de estilo de vida de la casa se encuentra el complejo de ocio interior junto a la cocina, un espacio dedicado a la relajación y el bienestar. La piscina climatizada y las instalaciones asociadas aportan una calidad de centro turístico a la vida diaria, lo que permite disfrutar de la propiedad durante todo el año. ________________________________________ Jardines y terrenos Los jardines inmediatos que rodean la casa están muy bien cuidados, combinando la estructura formal con la suavidad natural. El césped se extiende por toda la casa, intercalado con plantas maduras, elementos ornamentales y un tranquilo estanque, mientras que un manantial natural proporciona una fuente de agua única y llena de carácter. Más allá de los jardines formales, la finca se abre a un paisaje más amplio de zonas verdes, bosques antiguos y pastos abiertos. La sensación de espacio y privacidad es profunda, ya que el terreno forma un amortiguador natural que mejora la tranquilidad y el aislamiento de la finca.

Approached along a private drive that winds gently through parkland and mature ancient woodland, Bertholey reveals itself with a quiet sense of theatre. The journey culminates at an elevated position, where the principal house commands far-reaching views across rolling countryside, its elegant façade framed by formal gardens and a central fountain. Bertholey is an exceptional Grade II listed residence, rebuilt in the early 2000s with meticulous attention to detail that honours its historic origins while delivering the comfort and performance of a modern home. From the moment one steps inside, the atmosphere is one of understated grandeur. A vast reception hall, defined by marble floors, classical columns and a sweeping staircase, sets the tone for a house designed for both entertaining and family life. The interiors are richly detailed, with bespoke finishes and imported marble lending a sense of craftsmanship and permanence throughout. The principal rooms flow effortlessly, offering a series of elegant spaces for formal gatherings alongside more intimate areas for everyday living. Generous bedroom suites are arranged across the upper floors, creating a sense of privacy and separation, while a lift discreetly connects the levels of the house. At the heart of the home’s lifestyle offering is the indoor leisure complex off the kitchen, a space dedicated to relaxation and wellbeing. The heated swimming pool and associated facilities bring a resort-like quality to daily life, allowing the estate to be enjoyed throughout the year. ________________________________________ Gardens and grounds The immediate gardens surrounding the house are beautifully curated, blending formal structure with natural softness. Lawns sweep away from the house, interspersed with mature planting, ornamental features and a tranquil pond, while a natural spring provides a unique and characterful water source. Beyond the formal gardens, the estate opens into a wider landscape of parkland, ancient woodland and open pasture. The sense of space and privacy is profound, with the land forming a natural buffer that enhances the estate’s tranquillity and seclusion.
