Property

From the moment you step through the front door, this is a Home that makes an impression. A vast, yet inviting Reception Hall forms the heart of the property, creating an incredible sense of space and setting the tone for everything that follows. The Galleried landing above draws natural light through the centre of the Home, whilst the thoughtful layout provides an exceptional balance between open plan living and more private family spaces. Undoubtedly, the focal point of the Ground Floor is the magnificent 31ft x 20ft Kitchen, Dining and Family Room. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining on a grand scale, this impressive space seamlessly connects the Kitchen, Dining and seating areas, whilst bi-folding doors (with integrated blinds) open directly onto the terrace and gardens beyond. A large central island, feature roof lantern and striking brick detailing combine to create a room that is both stylish and practical in equal measure. The flexibility of the accommodation is one of the home's greatest strengths Alongside the main living space is a generous 23ft Living Room, a separate Family Room/Home Office and a Fifth Bedroom/Snug, with adjoining En Suite Shower Room. Complementing the Ground Floor accommodation is a WC and the practical Utility/Laundry room, providing additional space for appliances and direct access to the Garden, which is particularly useful after countryside walks. Whether working from home, accommodating guests, creating a playroom or providing multi-generational living, the layout can adapt effortlessly to a variety of lifestyles. The impressive sense of space continues upstairs where a large Galleried Landing provides access to four fantastic Double Bedrooms. The two Principal Bedrooms are particularly special, each offering a luxurious, hotel-inspired feel with dedicated Dressing Areas and beautifully appointed En Suite Shower Rooms. The remaining Bedrooms are equally generous in size and are served by a stunning Family Bathroom, that has been fitted to an exceptional standard.

Outside

Set back from the road, the property is approached via electric double gates which open onto a substantial gravel driveway with an EV charger, providing secure parking for numerous vehicles and creating an impressive sense of arrival. The driveway leads directly to the exceptional 39ft Garage, offering extensive storage, workshop potential or secure parking for multiple vehicles. The Rear Garden has been designed to complement the exceptional entertaining space found within the house. Spanning the rear elevation is a generous paved Terrace, complete with a contemporary pergola, creating a wonderful setting for al fresco dining, summer gatherings and relaxed evenings with family and friends. Positioned directly off the 31ft Kitchen, Dining and Family Room, bi-folding doors allow the living space to spill effortlessly outdoors, creating a seamless connection between House and Garden. Beyond the Terrace lies an impressive expanse of lawn, providing an abundance of space for children to play, garden parties and outdoor enjoyment. Extending to approximately 0.39 acres overall, the grounds enjoy a high degree of privacy, framed by mature trees and established boundaries which create a wonderful backdrop throughout the seasons. A pathway leads through the Gardens to a substantial detached Summer House measuring 25'7 x 12'8. Beautifully positioned away from the main house, this versatile building offers excellent potential as a Home Office, Gym, Studio or Hobbies Room, providing valuable additional space whilst remaining connected to the heart of the home. Combining secure gated parking, extensive garaging, outstanding entertaining areas and beautifully established gardens, the outside space is every bit as impressive as the accommodation itself.
