The House
Thought to date from around 1980, Houndbeare has been significantly remodelled and updated over the years to now provide a stylish contemporary home with a light filled interior and some high-end features. Perfectly designed to integrate in its surroundings, the house is of reverse level design with the living accommodation level to the rear garden. The ground floor is home to the reception hallway with wood burner and stairs rising to the first floor with glass balustrade. There are three double bedrooms at entry level including the large master which extends to some 26sqm and has a fabulous contemporary en-suite. Also at entry level is a stunning, fully tiled family bathroom. At first floor level, a part-galleried landing with study area off provides access to a fourth double bedroom, served by a modern, fully tiled shower room with WC and basin. There is a triple-aspect lounge with wood burner and balcony off enjoying a lovely open aspect. Completing the picture is an L-shaped kitchen/diner with access to the rear garden.

The Barn
The Barn is a stunning second home, created by the skilful conversation of a former dairy some years ago and finished to an exacting standard with many designer features such as Travertine tiling to the kitchen floor, solid granite countertops and oak flooring. With a spacious, light-filled interior, the living space is presented on an open-plan basis with the eat-in kitchen featuring double-aspect bi-folding doors, fashionable island unit and solid oak doors.
