The kitchen
At the centre of the home, the kitchen is designed for both cooking and socialising. Shaker style cabinetry with quartz worktops houses integrated appliances including a double oven, five ring hob, fridges and dishwasher, and a deep farmhouse style sink sits below a wide window. A peninsula breakfast bar links the kitchen to the dining area, while pendant lighting defines the space and wood flooring ties it to the open plan layout.

The living area
Part of the open plan sitting room, this generous living area is perfect for relaxation and entertaining. A striking double sided log burner forms a central focal point and sliding glass doors span the rear wall, opening onto the terrace and framing far reaching rural views. The space flows effortlessly into the kitchen and dining area, creating an ideal setting for everyday living and entertaining.

The dining area
Situated between the kitchen and second bedroom, the dining area provides a defined yet connected place to gather. A skylight and front window bring in natural daylight and the room comfortably accommodates a family table and enjoys direct interaction with the breakfast bar, making it ideal for everyday meals and entertaining.

The primary bedroom
The principal bedroom is a private retreat arranged to capture the countryside scenery. A set of sliding doors opens directly onto the terrace, bringing the outdoors in. Beyond the sleeping area a dressing space leads through to the en suite, and neutral décor and soft carpeting enhance the sense of calm.

The primary en suite
Serving the main bedroom, the en suite bathroom has a boutique feel. A freestanding tub sits opposite a glazed corner shower with herringbone tiling, and a contemporary vanity with inset basin and circular mirror provides storage. Warm wood flooring completes this stylish sanctuary.

The second bedroom
This well proportioned bedroom offers flexible accommodation for family or guests. A front facing window enjoys a pleasant outlook over the approach and neighbouring paddocks, with views across the surrounding farmland where horses are often seen grazing. The neutral palette and carpeting create a comfortable and adaptable space for family, guests or a home office.

The third bedroom
Enjoying a wonderful rural outlook from its large rear window, this bedroom provides comfortable and versatile accommodation for a child, guest or home office if required. Soft carpeting and the attractive countryside backdrop create a calm and welcoming environment.

The fourth bedroom/snug
Currently arranged as a snug and study, the fourth bedroom provides valuable versatility. A window allows you to appreciate the surrounding countryside, and there is ample room for seating or a desk. This space could easily function as a double bedroom, home office or playroom to suit changing needs.

The shower room
Positioned off the hall, the family shower room features a walk in shower with picture window overlooking the terrace and landscape beyond. A vessel basin sits atop a vanity unit, complemented by a contemporary WC and patterned tiled floor that adds character.

The terrace
Spanning the full width of the home, the elevated terrace is a remarkable outdoor living space. Brick balustrades and a canopy roof provide shelter and safety, while the south facing orientation takes in sweeping views over farmland towards Stagborough Hills. Doors from the living area and principal bedroom encourage al fresco dining and relaxation, and steps descend to the garden and undercroft storage beneath.

The garden
Set below the terrace, the garden features a level area of lawn bordered by a stone retaining wall. Beneath the house the undercroft offers a sheltered area with power and water, previously used for substantial storage. Beyond the lawn the vista opens onto neighbouring farmland, providing a picturesque backdrop without the responsibility of maintenance.

The driveway and parking
At the front of the property a private, gently sloping driveway provides off road parking for multiple vehicles and leads to the front door. A small lawn and established hedging create an attractive approach.

Agent Note
The garage attached to the property belongs to Number 9 Lickhill Road North and is not included with Green Meadows.
