The property


The accommodation is arranged over three levels, offering a superb balance of open-plan living space and flexible bedroom accommodation, ideally suited to modern family life or multi-generational living.

The ground floor is centred around an impressive 29’ dual-aspect living/dining room, a standout feature of the home, designed to maximise both light and views. This generous space opens directly onto the upper balcony, creating a natural extension for entertaining and everyday living, while its proportions comfortably accommodate both seating and dining areas. Positioned alongside is a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, thoughtfully laid out with ample storage and workspace, plus a large sliding door on the front elevation.

Also on this level is a versatile study, which can equally serve as a sixth bedroom, together with a conveniently located shower room, allowing this part of the house to function as a self-contained suite if required.

The first floor provides two particularly well-proportioned double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom standing out for its size and unbeatable views across the Haldon hills and countryside beyond. This bedroom benefits from a spacious en-suite bathroom.

The lower ground floor offers further flexibility, comprising three additional bedrooms, including a generous double with en-suite, along with two further good-sized rooms. A family bathroom and a separate utility room with external access complete this level, making it particularly well suited to independent living, whether for older children, relatives or potential annexe use.

Externally, the property is complemented by a detached double garage with power and lighting, together with terraced gardens that take full advantage of the elevated position, providing a variety of spaces for outdoor seating and relaxation. A large driveway with hardstanding parking area allows plenty of space for turning and additional parking.
