Collina House is an immensely charming Edwardian mansion understood to date back to 1905 with roseate brick and attractively tile hung elevations under a tiled roof and deep bay windows and a beautiful porch with quoin edged arch. The current owners have substantially and sympathetically extended to property thus creating the substantial owner's apartment and 3 additional guest's bedrooms.
The interior is equally splendid with elegant well-proportioned and lofty rooms arranged over 3 floors. Fine period features can be found throughout. These include: turned staircases, moulded ceiling roses, moulded architraves and skirting boards, panelled doors, picture rails and fine fireplaces plus wall panelling to dado height in the main Reception areas.
The current owners have established and run the property as a well-regarded hotel for the past 30 years.
The Reception Areas and rooms on the Ground Floor are light and airy with classic proportions and high ceilings and fine elegant period features. The beautiful Porch opens into the over 20' long elegant Reception Hall and the adjacent Reception Area and Desk. Both Dining Rooms are south facing with light streaming through the tall bay windows, whilst the Bar is the rear of the house. The Kitchens and preparation areas are well fitted with stainless steel units and equipment. Apart from the main entrance there are 2 entrances from the car parks with stairs directly rising to the upper floors.
The large Cellar areas provide ample storage space for freezer, food and wine, plus a large laundry area.
A number of staircases reach the upper floors were you find 8 guest bedrooms on the First Floor and a further 4 guest bedrooms on the Second Floor. All have good-sized and well-equipped en-suite bath or shower rooms fitted with white sanitary ware.
A detached Chalet in the Grounds provides a further 3 guest bedrooms, again with en-suite bath or shower rooms. This makes a total of 15 guest bedrooms, some of which are large family rooms.
