Filled with light, its admirable dimensions open from French doors onto an extensive south-facing decked balcony that makes it temptingly easy to recline in the summer sun or sit and watch the stars with a nightcap.

A fitted walk-in wardrobe supplies ample storage without encroaching on the feel of the room and a discerning en suite has twin basins, a walk-in shower and jacuzzi bathtub.
Three of the additional five bedrooms have tastefully chosen fitted wardrobes and teenagers will love the sense of privacy of one that sits tucked back on its own raised level with an en suite shower room. Together the others all share a superb family bathroom where a countertop basin sits atop a vintage solid wood cabinet, a shower cubicle has a contemporary rainfall head and a bathtub is encased in stone mosaics. A separate WC is an added bonus for busy mornings and family life.

Unwind on a brilliantly broad terrace and enjoy outdoor meals with family and friends or sit back and admire the tranquillity of your surroundings. Framed by heavenly high borders, an established lawn stretches out before you bordered by a shingle path that takes you down to a glazed pool house with a 10m long pool heated by an air source pump.

Explore further and you’ll find a wood store that will keep you nicely stocked for the winter months and a wooded area directly adjoining neighbouring paddocks where you can watch Shetland ponies and sheep grazing in the sunshine.
At the front of the house, a prodigious in/out gravel driveway combines with an integral double length garage and carport to provide copious off-road parking. Double doors open from the rear of the garaging into the gardens and you’ll find handy storage within a timber shed behind the carport. An expanse of solar panels on the south side of the roof helps to make this Pirbright village home energy efficient.
