The Approach
The property offers an impressive kitchen/dining area with a large sliding door offering a flooding of light and expansive views across the rear garden and neighbouring farmland, of which you will find regular sightings of deer, rabbits and birds of prey. The sleek and well-appointed kitchen has a range of high-quality integrated appliances and elegant work surfaces. The utility room houses a full-height freezer and spaces for washing machine and drier. A water-softener is fitted and the plant room completes the facilities.
Seamlessly flowing through from the kitchen/diner you will find the main living area, with a modern back-to-back fireplace that ties both the kitchen/diner and living spaces together. The living room continues to encapsulate the feeling of light and space with its dual aspect windows. The property offers a number of reception rooms such as the convenient study/ office space - the perfect spot to work from home. Across the hall you will find a highly versatile second living space currently used as a gymnasium but could be used as a fifth bedroom, playroom, dining room or even a second office. The ground floor is completed with a useful cloakroom.
Upon ascending the stairs with its oak bannister and glass finishes, you will find the magnificent galleried landing with impressive atrium space. Four large double bedrooms, all with excellent unspoilt views over the countryside, two with well-designed superior fully-tiled en-suites, are augmented by a stylish family bathroom with free standing bath.
The front of the property is it mainly laid to lawn with slate beds enclosed by hedging and carefully-selected trees to promote wildlife. The expansive permeable driveway can accommodate several vehicles and the property carries none of the usual covenantal restrictions. The detached double garage offers an electric roller door and is fitted with hand-built storage racking and lofting. Power and light is connected along with a distribution board for an electric car charger to be installed.
To the rear, formal planting of mature trees abut a well-maintained lawn bordered by a full-width Indian sandstone patio. A further paved area at the foot of the 100-foot garden, allows one to catch the last of the evening’s rays of sun and enjoy the uninterrupted views of the neighbouring countryside.
The energy efficient home offers an air source heat pump that provides both heat and hot water with underfloor heating covering the entire ground floor. Whilst on the south-facing roof of the the home there are a significant amount of solar power panels all contributing to the low energy costs.
