About this property

A beautifully appointed and substantial individual detached family house standing in a secluded rural location with superb rural views and grounds in all of about 0.67 of an acre.

This is a home of real character with bright and well-proportioned accommodation remodelled and carefully extended by the existing owners to an exacting specification to create a very appealing and substantial family home with south facing rear garden and glorious views.

The feeling of space is immediate with a large vaulted reception hall with a broad staircase leading to a large landing. Features of note include a stunning open plan kitchen/dining/family room. This is the centrepiece of the house and a magnificent room with a wood burning stove and patio doors opening out to the large garden terrace. The kitchen is fitted with bespoke cabinets by Kressler and includes a wine cooler, Neff appliances including two ovens, microwave and a dishwasher. Useful under island storage, hidden drawers and a window seat have also been incorporated within the unique design. The further flexible living accommodation includes a large 28’9” / 8.76m twin aspect sitting room with doors opening out to the terrace together with a fireplace housing a wood burning stove, complemented by a study and a snug/family room. There are five bedrooms and a family bathroom to the first floor including a luxurious principal bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and dressing room. There are two further en-suite shower rooms and a very spacious family bathroom.

The space and flexibility of the house is further enhanced with a second floor attic store. The useful detached garage block features a workshop, office and an annexe on the first floor with a fitted kitchen area and a shower room.

The design of the house was completed with innovation and energy efficiency firmly in mind. Double glazed windows, five zone central heating control (underfloor to the ground floor and radiators to the first floor), additional insulation and a 330ltr Megaflow hot water tank all combine to considerably enhance the overall efficiency and comfort of the house.

Areas of paved terrace are set to the rear and provide ideal spaces for outdoor entertaining with a fabulous southerly aspect and long rural views. The rear garden is principally laid to lawn on two sides of the house with an area dedicated to a vegetable garden. In all the grounds extend to about 0.67 of an acre.
