About this property

An exceptional, individually designed country home, created through the thoughtful transformation and extension of an original barn. Finished to an exacting standard, the property combines vaulted spaces, character features and contemporary design to create a highly versatile family residence set within over 3 acres of established grounds on the edge of the desirable village of Oakhill.

The accommodation is arranged to create a light-filled home, with an emphasis on space, character and open views across the surrounding gardens and countryside beyond. This is highlighted in the sitting room with full height windows looking out to the garden along with a central wood burner. Alongside this is a spacious, dual aspect family room with doors out to a side terrace. A cloakroom and study are found off the hall with a well fitted utility room and a wet room adjacent to a door to the rear courtyard. The heart of the house is a fabulous vaulted kitchen featuring oak A-framed beams. This large living area has ample room for seating by a wood burner and has substantial dining space. In addition to this there is a luxuriously fitted and fully equipped kitchen with peninsula worktop/breakfast bar. Full height windows and doors lead out to an enclosed terrace ideal for entertaining al-fresco. The kitchen also includes a pantry. From the kitchen a door connects to the "East Wing" being the original barn with vaulted ceilings to all rooms. The connecting vestibule has double doors opening to a sitting room with a wood burner and wooden floors continuing through to a second kitchen/dining room. This space is double aspect with glazed doors to the terrace and a range of hand-built cabinetry. From the sitting room is an entrance hall leading to two bedrooms with en-suite bathroom to one and a main shower room serving the second. Being on the ground floor this area makes the perfect relative suite. Returning to the main house, the first floor comprises three en-suite double bedrooms. The principal bedroom also has an en-suite dressing room and views across the garden from the floor to ceiling windows. Each en-suite is beautifully and thoughtfully fitted.

Complementing the main residence is an excellent range of outbuildings including stables attached to a 1000 sq ft barn, a workshop and a studio, providing superb versatility for equestrian interests, home working, creative pursuits or additional storage.
