Extending to approximately 4,500 sq ft, the property combines striking modern architecture with a highly adaptable layout, offering an ideal balance of open-plan living, private accommodation and extensive ancillary space, including two substantial double garages, one of which benefits from an office above, as well as a well-equipped stable block.

Approached via a gated entrance, the house is centred around a generous monoblock courtyard providing extensive parking and access to the two double garages. One of the garages incorporates a useful office space above, ideal for home working or additional accommodation. The principal elevation, defined by a stone-clad entrance, creates a strong sense of arrival, while to the rear, a dramatic glazed gable opens the house to its setting, flooding the interior with natural light and framing uninterrupted views across the surrounding land.

Internally, the ground floor is arranged around an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, designed for modern family living and entertaining. The kitchen is contemporary in style, with sleek cabinetry and a substantial central island, flowing seamlessly into a generous dining area with direct access to the terrace and gardens beyond. Beyond this, a striking double-height living area is defined by full-height glazing and a feature stove, creating a bright and welcoming focal point. A galleried landing above enhances the sense of volume, while a modern open-tread staircase introduces a strong architectural element.

In addition to the principal living space, there is a separate family or media area, benefiting from a cinema projector and screen, providing a more informal retreat. The property also features a Sonos multi-room sound system, enhancing the overall living and entertaining experience.

The first floor is centred around a striking galleried landing, overlooking the main living space below and enjoying excellent natural light from feature glazing and rooflights. This area not only serves as a circulation space but also forms an attractive setting for a study or reading area, reinforcing the connection between the upper and lower levels.

The principal bedroom suite is particularly impressive, offering generous proportions and a calm, private environment. In addition to the well-appointed en suite bathroom, fitted with both bath and separate shower, the suite also benefits from a dedicated dressing room, adding a further element of luxury and practicality. Further bedrooms are equally well proportioned, each benefiting from good natural light and pleasant outlooks across the surrounding countryside.
