The entrance hall
A spectacular double-height entrance hall forms the heart of the home, setting an impressive tone on arrival. A wall of glazing with a central oak door floods the space with light. A sweeping staircase with decorative iron balustrade rises to a galleried landing above, while large porcelain tiles flow into the adjoining living areas, creating a seamless connection between spaces.

The kitchen
The hand-crafted kitchen is designed for entertaining, centred around a huge marbled granite island with breakfast bar and integrated Quooker hot, cold and sparkling tap. Linear cabinetry conceals a full suite of Siemens appliances, including ovens, warming drawer and space for an American-style fridge freezer. A mirrored splashback and feature beam add drama, while dual aspect bifold doors and a wood-burning stove link the space effortlessly to the dining and sitting area and out onto the terrace.

The living and dining area
Open plan to the kitchen, this sociable space accommodates dining and everyday living with ease. A bespoke banquette wraps around the island to create an informal dining area beneath statement pendant lights. Full-height sliding doors span two walls, opening onto the terrace and garden, and a contemporary stove anchors a relaxed seating area. The flow allows large gatherings while still feeling intimate.

The living room
A separate reception room provides a calm retreat for family relaxation. A broad window and patio doors frame garden views and air-conditioning ensures comfort. The generous proportions accommodate a range of seating options. This room is tucked just off the hall for quiet evenings or movie nights away from the hub of the home.

The cinema room
Designed as a dedicated media space, the cinema room features a built-in projection screen for immersive viewing. An expanse of bifold doors draws the landscape in, while integrated climate control and dimmable lighting create the perfect atmosphere. With ample floor space, this versatile room can host everything from film screenings to teenagers’ sleepovers.

The utility
A generous boot room/utility runs alongside the kitchen and provides excellent secondary storage. A long run of cabinets incorporates space for laundry appliances and a fridge freezer and housing for the pressurised hot-water cylinder and electrical systems. A door gives direct access to the garden, making it ideal for muddy boots and pets, and there is plenty of room for coats and outdoor gear.

The principal bedroom
The principal suite is a sumptuous private sanctuary. Vaulted ceilings and large windows add character, while two sets of bifold doors maximise the panoramic views. Climate-control units and plush carpeting enhance comfort, and there is ample room for seating or a home workspace. A large dressing room and luxurious en suite lie just beyond.

The principal en suite
The principal en suite pairs spa-like luxury with everyday practicality. Twin basins sit within a sleek vanity next to a WC and a digitally controlled walk-in shower finished with marble panels and a rainfall head. A heated towel rail and underfloor heating keep things cosy, and a window brings in natural light.

The second bedroom
This generous double bedroom enjoys bifold doors, allowing you to appreciate the far-reaching countryside views. A half-height dividing wall subtly zones the sleeping area, while fitted wardrobes maximise the floor space. Integrated climate control provides year-round comfort. This room also has access to a Jack and Jill en suite, shared with the fourth bedroom.

The third bedroom
Another light and airy double room, the third bedroom features bespoke fitted wardrobes including fitted dressing table along one wall and a set of bifold doors with lovely views. Sloping ceilings add character and an air-conditioning unit ensures comfort in all seasons.

The third bedroom en suite
Serving the third bedroom, this contemporary shower room is fully tiled with a marble finish. A glazed door encloses the generous shower area, and a sleek vanity with underslung basin and wall-hung WC completes the crisp, modern look.

The fourth bedroom
The fourth bedroom is a spacious double benefitting from a window set within the pitched roof. A wall-mounted climate-control unit and neutral finishes make this a comfortable guest or family room, and a door connects directly to the Jack and Jill en suite.

The Jack and Jill en suite
Shared between the second and fourth bedrooms, this luxurious bathroom features a freestanding bathtub and a large walk-in shower with rainfall head. A vanity unit with stone basin, WC and underfloor heating provide comfort and style, while the window fills the room with light.

The fifth bedroom
Situated on the ground floor for guest convenience or multi-generational living, this sizeable double bedroom has twin windows and a wall-mounted climate-control unit. Neutral finishes offer a blank canvas for personalisation, and a built-in wardrobe keeps the room clutter free. A door leads to a private en suite.

The fifth bedroom en suite
The fifth bedroom’s en suite is finished to the same exacting standard as the other bathrooms. A marble tiled shower enclosure with glazed sliding doors is paired with a contemporary basin, wall-hung WC and towel rail, creating a stylish and practical space.

The terrace
Running the full width of the home, the extensive south-facing porcelain-paved terrace provides a superb outdoor entertaining area. A circular brick feature adds visual interest, and both the living and dining area and living room connect the house to the terrace. The patio is bordered by low hedging and enjoys uninterrupted views over the surrounding countryside. A gateway leads directly to the terrace and driveway.

The garden
Beyond the terrace lies a large, level lawn edged by mature hedging and trees, offering privacy without obstructing the glorious rural outlook. The grounds provide plenty of space for children, pets and recreation.

The driveway and parking
A long hedged driveway leads to a vast forecourt providing comfortable parking for numerous vehicles. Positioned to one side, the detached two-storey double garage extends to around 1,000 sq ft.

The double garage was previously used as a self-contained dwelling during the rebuild of the home. With plumbing, a shower room, air-conditioning, heating and space for kitchen facilities already in place, it offers exceptional potential for guest accommodation, multi-generational living, a home business or holiday letting, subject to any required consents.

Fees

Reservation Fee - refundable on exchange

A reservation fee, refundable on exchange, is payable prior to the issue of the Memorandum of Sale and after which the property may be marked as Sold Subject to Contract. The fee will be reimbursed upon the successful Exchange of Contracts.

The fee will be retained by Andrew Grant in the event that you the Buyer withdraws from the purchase or does not Exchange within 6 months of the fee being received other than for one or more of the following reasons:

1. Any significant material issues which individually are more than 1% of the agreed purchase price and are highlighted in a survey and were not evident or drawn to the attention of you, the Buyer, prior to the Memorandum of Sale being issued.
2. Serious and material defect in the seller’s legal title.
3. Local search revealing a matter that has a material adverse effect on the market value of the property that was previously undeclared and not in the public domain.
4. The vendor withdrawing the property from sale.

The reservation fee will be 0.5% of the accepted offer price for offers below £800,000 and 1% for offers of £800,000 or over. This fee, unless specified otherwise, is payable upon acceptance by the vendor of an offer from a buyer and completion of an assessment of the buyer’s financial status and ability to proceed.

Should a buyer’s financial position regarding the funding of the property prove to be fundamentally different from that declared by the buyer when the Memorandum of Sale was completed, then the Vendor has the right to withdraw from the sale and/or the reservation fee retained. For example, where the buyer declares themselves as a cash buyer but are in fact relying on an unsecured sale of their property. The reservation fee will not be refunded where there is an inability on the part of the Buyer to raise any required mortgage after the Memorandum of Sale is completed.

Once the reservation fee has been paid, any renegotiation of the price stated in the memorandum of sale for any reason other than those covered in points 1 to 3 above will lead to the reservation fee being retained. A further fee will be levied on any subsequent reduced offer that is accepted by the vendor. This further fee will be subject to the same conditions that prevail for all reservation fees outlined above.
