Detached house for sale in Moreton Paddox, Moreton Morrell, Warwick, Warwickshire CV35

Whiteacre is situated within a beautiful walled garden, set back from the road down a private drive in an incredibly peaceful location. This exceptional property was built in 2015, and planning consent was granted under the Paragraph 55 clause of the National Policy Framework, where approval is only granted in cases of exceptional architecture.

The accommodation was carefully designed to maximise the views of the gardens, with most rooms having full-height double-glazed sliding doors or windows overlooking the garden. The combination of modern living with a sleek contemporary design, eco-friendly technology and a large, enclosed south-facing garden makes this an exceptional property.

The front door opens into the entrance hallway with a cloakroom, separate cloaks/boot room, and a full-length generous corridor with two long roof lights. From the entrance hall, a sizeable full-height glass screen and a sliding oak door lead into the open plan kitchen/breakfast room, which has a large central island, Corian worktops and integrated appliances, including a full-height freezer and refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, warming drawer, combination microwave oven and a five-ring gas hob with concealed ceiling extractor.

Leading from the kitchen is an impressive and sizeable open-plan dining and drawing room with glazed sliding doors that open right back, creating a fantastic integrated inside/outside space on to the granite paved terrace. There is a contemporary gas fire with an inset flat-screen TV point above and a door to the rear hallway, which gives access to the utility and study.

The principal bedroom suite lies at the east end of the house and has a triple aspect, including corner glazed windows offering views over the garden and access to the terrace. The bedroom has an en suite cloakroom, but there would be scope to create an en suite shower room if required. Alternatively, this could be an excellent sitting room.

Two double bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, full-height windows and en suite shower rooms. Bedrooms 4 and 5 share the family bathroom; one of these could be used as a snug if all of the bedrooms were not required.

The property is approached along a private gravel drive through electric gates with brick pillars and orb finials, leading to a large, gravelled parking area and a cantilevered carport next to the front door. A detached double garage has remotely operated electric up-and-over-door.

The rear garden is principally lawned with an expansive granite south-facing terrace adjoining the house. The current owner has landscaped the garden, which was previously a blank canvas, and there are now several beautifully stocked beds and a secret garden tucked around the side of the house. There are also many trees and shrubs, including fine hornbeam, poplar, ginkgo, sorbus, chestnut, walnut, bramley apple, pear and apple trees.

Planning permission was previously granted for an outdoor swimming pool and solar panels on the roof.
