Fig Tree House is an outstanding and beautifully appointed detached family residence, constructed to an exacting standard throughout for the present owners approximately 25 years ago. Occupying a discreet tucked-away position in the heart of this highly desirable village, the property combines privacy, elegance and exceptional family living. The accommodation is conventionally arranged over two floors and thoughtfully designed to take full advantage of its southerly rear orientation, with many of the principal rooms enjoying delightful views across the beautifully kept private gardens. A most impressive reception hall creates an inviting first impression and leads to the principal living spaces, including a delightful triple-aspect drawing room centred around an open fireplace, a separate dining room and a study. Of particular note is the superb kitchen/breakfast/family room, very much the heart of the home and ideally suited to modern family life and entertaining, with bi-fold doors opening directly onto the terrace. The kitchen is fitted with an excellent range of bespoke cabinetry, complemented by granite and quartz work surfaces and a striking curved central island, and is further served by a useful utility room. Beyond lies a charming sitting room with vaulted ceiling and wood-burning stove. To the first floor, the principal bedroom suite enjoys a fitted dressing room and luxurious contemporary shower room. There are two further bedroom suites, whilst the remaining two bedrooms are served by a stylish updated family bathroom. The gardens are a particular feature, wrapping around the house and offering a high degree of privacy and seclusion, with the rear garden benefiting from a southerly aspect. A substantial sun terrace and outdoor kitchen create an ideal setting for entertaining, while expansive level lawns are interspersed with established planting and shrub borders. Approached via electronic gates, the sweeping driveway provides extensive parking and leads to the triple garage block, one bay of which has been converted into a home gym. In all, the grounds extend to approximately 3⁄4 of an acre.
