A beautifully designed home offering light-filled, spacious accommodation, finished to a high specification throughout and complemented by a south-west facing garden backing onto
open countryside.

The reception hall makes a striking first impression, with a vaulted ceiling enhancing both the sense of space and the natural light. A bespoke oak staircase rises to a galleried landing above, creating a strong architectural feature, while bi-fold doors open onto the rear garden, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living and framing attractive countryside views.

Generous in scale and highly versatile, this space is ideal for both formal entertaining and day-to-day family life, adapting effortlessly to a range of needs.

A cloakroom and dedicated cloaks area provide practical storage and convenience, while the room can also be used for formal dining or as an additional family living area, offering flexibility for modern living.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen/breakfast room enjoys views across the garden via a large picture window and glazed doors opening onto the terrace. Beautifully appointed with stone work surfaces, a central island and integrated appliances, it provides an ideal setting for both cooking and socialising. A generous utility room adds further practicality.
The sitting room offers a more private retreat, enhanced by full-height glazing that floods the space with natural light. A separate study provides flexibility for home working, or a snug or playroom.
Completing the ground floor is a well-appointed guest bedroom suite with a dressing area and en suite, ideal for visitors or multi-generational living.

Upstairs, the principal suite is a standout feature, with a vaulted ceiling and access to a balcony via apex glazing, creating a bright and luxurious space. It is complemented by a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite. A second bedroom also benefits from its own en suite, while two further bedrooms are served by a contemporary five-piece family bathroom.

The landscaped rear garden enjoys a desirable south-west aspect and backs directly onto open countryside, offering a strong sense of privacy and uninterrupted rural views.
Predominantly laid to lawn, it has been thoughtfully designed with established planting, mature shrubs, and well-stocked borders, creating structure and year-round interest. Bathed in afternoon and evening sun, it provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, and relaxation.

A substantial log cabin, complete with power and lighting, adds a valuable and versatile addition. Well-suited as a home office, gym, studio, or creative retreat, it offers flexible space for a variety of modern lifestyle needs, all within the privacy of the garden.

To the front, a gated driveway presents an impressive approach and provides ample parking and turning space for several vehicles. This leads to a characterful double oak-framed cart lodge, complete with a three-phase electric car charger, offering sheltered parking while complementing the property's style.
