A substantial five-bedroom detached residence, with exceptional views and striking barn style accommodation which has incredibly high vaulted ceilings and artistically presented accommodation.

Of spacious, flexible living. This unique home also includes a collection of creatively repurposed outbuildings, each enhanced with thoughtful detail and exceptional functionality.

Originally built in 1999 as a luxury health spa hotel, the property has since been meticulously transformed into a one-of-a-kind private residence by the current owner, whose keen eye for design, craftsmanship, and architectural balance is evident throughout.

High-specification finishes run throughout the home, including a bespoke Smallbone kitchen and bathrooms, Karndean flooring, a Rako smart lighting system, and Sonos surround sound.

Externally, the home is equally striking, with a bold façade combining exposed brickwork, weatherboarding, and Accoya wood windows and doors. The central front door leads into a welcoming entrance hall, once the reception area of the original health spa, with internal arched windows framing the countryside beyond.

The main living space stretches across the rear of the property in a predominantly open-plan layout, thoughtfully zoned for cooking, dining, and relaxing. Exposed brick and locally sourced knapped flint, preserved from an 18th-century barn add depth and character, echoed in the bespoke surround of the double-sided wood-burning stove, which forms a striking focal point.

The kitchen is both stylish and highly functional, fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units topped with elegant quartz work surfaces, including a large central island with breakfast bar seating. High-spec integrated appliances include a double AEG oven with steam and microwave functions, a wine cooler, a double fridge freezer, dishwasher, and an induction hob with charcoal griddle and downdraft extractor.
