An exceptional family home offering contemporary comfort

Description
The Court House is a striking and substantial family home, offering a modern, free-flowing layout perfectly suited to both entertaining and working from home. Originally a Court House, the property has been sympathetically converted to create a distinctive residence with modern convenience, including underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and a superb artist’s studio.

Upon entering, a grand reception hallway with glazed doors provides a wonderful sense of arrival, filled with natural light and giving effortless access to the principal ground floor rooms. Double doors open to a stylish walkway leading into the impressive kitchen, beautifully appointed with an oversized island, sleek granite work surfaces, and a full complement of integrated appliances within bespoke full height cabinetry.

The kitchen connects seamlessly to the main reception rooms, including a stunning sitting room featuring a double-height galleried ceiling, full-height glazing, and an integrated log burner - creating a dramatic yet welcoming focal point. Adjacent lies a dedicated study, guest cloakroom, and useful store.

To the south side, a delightful garden room with bi-fold doors opens onto a sun-drenched terrace, providing a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. A ground floor bedroom with en suite offers ideal guest accommodation, while the dining room enjoys triple window views across the gardens. A family bathroom and well-equipped utility room complete the ground floor.

The first floor hosts three generous bedroom suites, each designed to provide privacy and comfort. The principal suite features a glazed wall overlooking the sitting room and gardens beyond, alongside a luxurious en suite bathroom. From here, a walkway leads to a superb corner roof terrace - a perfect spot for relaxation with far-reaching views. Bedroom three enjoys a private balcony ideal for al fresco breakfasting, while bedroom four provides a versatile space for children or guests.

Externally, the property is complemented by an oversized garage with electric door and EV charging point, together with a bright, versatile studio offering potential for a range of uses. The gardens encircle the house with neat lawns, mature trees, and established hedging, providing both privacy and a sense of serenity. A generous driveway offers ample parking, and the property is available chain free.
