Step Inside...

Step through the composite front door into a welcoming entrance hallway, where character and craftsmanship take centre stage. The beautifully preserved, ornately hand-carved wooden door serves as a striking reminder of the property's rich history, seamlessly complemented by elegant wooden flooring that guides you further inside. To your left, the lounge is a bright and spacious retreat, enhanced by dual-aspect windows that flood the room with natural light. At its heart, a charming multi-fuel stove creates a cosy yet stylish focal point, perfect for relaxing evenings. Bi-fold doors open into the sunroom, enhancing the sense of space and allowing for effortless flow throughout the ground floor.

The sunroom is designed to make the most of the breathtaking countryside views stretching for acres beyond the rear of the home. Large picture windows flood the space with natural light, creating a serene setting where you can truly appreciate the beauty of the surroundings. With ample room for a dining table, it’s the perfect place to entertain, ensuring your guests are just as captivated by the outlook as you are. Step out onto the balcony, finished with sleek composite decking and glass balustrades, and enjoy a peaceful morning coffee or a well-earned evening drink while soaking in the uninterrupted scenery.

A true cook’s paradise, the impressive kitchen is both stylish and highly functional. Cream gloss units and sleek contemporary worktops provide an abundance of storage and preparation space, while the large central island with breakfast bar seating makes entertaining effortless. High-spec appliances cater to every culinary need, including a spacious range cooker with two ovens (one with a rotisserie), fridge-freezer, Neff microwave, dishwasher, and even a large TV seamlessly integrated within the wall units.

Just off the kitchen, the well-designed utility/boot room offers additional fitted storage, plumbing for a washing machine and dryer, and a convenient door leading directly to the driveway. Adjacent to this, the guest W.C. is tastefully finished with neutral tiling and a stylish vanity basin, adding practicality to the home’s thoughtful layout.

To the left, the superb home bar sets the scene for unforgettable gatherings, featuring an arched ceiling, underfloor heating, air ventilation system, and a custom-fitted bar complete with a sink and glass washer—perfect for entertaining in style. Across the hallway, the original cellar storerooms and workshop retain their historic charm, with the original safe still in place. Beyond this, the spacious home gym offers a versatile retreat, enjoying stunning rear garden views. Whether you envision a private fitness suite, home office, or even a self-contained living space, this area provides endless possibilities, complete with a convenient downstairs W.C. and direct garden access. Tucked away on this floor is also the cold store and boiler room, offering even more storage.

Off to Bed...

Climb the plush carpeted stairs to the first floor, where three luxurious double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom await. The master suite is a true retreat, with dual-aspect windows showcasing stunning views and remote-controlled electric blinds for effortless relaxation. A walk-in wardrobe offers ample storage, while the en-suite, tucked behind elegant stained-glass bi-fold doors, exudes sophistication. Fully tiled in sleek black and white marble, this striking space features a large walk-in shower, double vanity basins with storage, a W.C., bidet, and chrome heated towel rails.

Bedrooms two and three are both generously sized doubles, each with built-in wardrobes and picturesque views. The family bathroom mirrors the en-suite’s stylish finish, complete with a bathtub and overhead shower, a wall-hung basin, and W.C. For added practicality, there is access to both loft spaces from the bathroom and the second bedroom, ensuring ample storage throughout the home.

Outside...

The wraparound gardens are just as impressive as the home itself, offering a perfect blend of beauty and practicality. Fully enclosed for privacy and security, the lawns seamlessly merge with the surrounding countryside, creating a tranquil retreat. Thoughtfully divided into three distinct areas, the outdoor space includes a generous family garden—ideal for children and pets—complete with an outdoor dog shower, complete with drainage and lighting.

A gravelled section leads to the detached triple garage, a superbly equipped space accessed via electric gates. Featuring an electric roller door and a pedestrian side entrance, the garage is fully alarmed and integrated into the property’s CCTV system for complete peace of mind. Whether used for vehicle storage, a workshop, or additional storage, the space is both secure and practical, with windows offering countryside views while you work. Additionally, a block-paved driveway to the side of the home provides further parking, also secured by electric gates, ensuring convenience and security.

The property also benefits from solar panels, which the current owners advise provide not only an impressive cost saving on electricity bills, but also generate revenue throughout the year. A new waste treatment system has been installed to replace the septic tank, ensuring this home is as eco-friendly as possible.
