A truly unique and outstanding home, Carilee was constructed circa 1991 in a pretty hillside position enjoying delightful views across the neighbouring Blachford Estate. Having never before been available for sale, this gorgeous property is a rare find in prime village setting, which must be viewed to be appreciated.
Description
Carilee is somewhat unassuming from the front, as when approaching the property one could be mistaken in thinking the property is a large bungalow. However, upon entry into the glazed entrance porch it becomes immediately apparent that this is a most substantial home which has been cleverly design to take advantage of a gently sloping plot. Boasting unique reverse level accommodation, the impressive entrance porch gives access into n inner hallway which is wonderfully bright thanks to floor to ceiling windows and also provides a useful storage cupboard for coats and shoes. A feature staircase leads to the lower ground floor and just off of the hallway is a useful cloakroom/WC which has been tastefully modernised. A door from the hallway gives access into a large double integrated garage which is fitted with two electronically operated doors. Double doors provide access from the hallway to the heart of this home, a phenomenal modern kitchen with recently upgraded fittings including a range of wall and base units under a solid worktop, feature kitchen island with breakfast bar and integrated appliances including Bosch oven and grill, microwave, gas five-ring hob, dishwasher and a wine cooler. Space is provided for a free-standing American-Style fridge/freezer and this gorgeous room also accommodates for a range of large furniture including an eight-seater dining table. A bespoke bay window affords the kitchen/diner with wonderful views over the tree-tops and towards the Blachford Estate. Double doors provide access onto a fantastic balcony with attractive glazed railings; excellent for entertaining. Finally, completing the accommodation on this level, is an expansive, triple-aspect sitting room with feature living flame gas fireplace and direct access to the rear garden and the balcony. This room has an interesting diamond shape as designed by our client and enjoys a fantastic outlook across the gardens and the heated swimming pool.
Taking the stairs down to the lower ground floor, a sizeable and nicely lit hallway gives access to the well proportioned accommodation on this level. At one end the home is the master bedroom suite, a spacious room with a feature floor-to-ceiling glazed seating area and direct access to the rear garden. The master bedroom suite incorporates a walk-in-wardrobe and a modern en-suite shower room which has been recently upgraded with his & hers sinks, a walk-in shower with rainfall shower fitting, wash-hand basin, WC and under-floor heating. Two further double bedrooms sit can also be found on this level and enjoy views across the gardens. Additionally there is an additional study adjacent to the bedrooms. A modern family bathroom is also located adjacent to the bedrooms which has been recently upgraded with a panelled bath with shower over, WC, basin and heated towel rail. Finally there is a substantial room which has cleverly been converted into a utility room, laundry room and home gym. Excellent fitted storage cupboards nicely divide this room.
