Entrance – Welcome to Tanglewood

Inviting you into the property and immediately setting the tone for the accommodation to follow is a reception hall with space for furniture items, built-in storage, and neutral décor accompanied by handsome solid wood flooring.

Living room and dining kitchen – Fabulous open space for everyday life and entertaining

Situated on the upper floor and filled with natural light through a wealth of glazing, which also frames breath-taking, far-reaching views of the surrounding hills and countryside, the living room and dining kitchen are perfectly designed for families and those who love to entertain, with internal bi-folding doors closing to separate the two rooms or opening to create a wonderfully sociable space. The living room offers extensive floorspace for various configurations of lounge furniture, with an Opus log-burning stove creating an ideal focal point and a warm atmosphere during the colder months. In the adjoining kitchen, ample space is provided for a large dining table and chairs, as well as a comfortable seating area. A central island and a wealth of additional bespoke cabinetry offer ample storage, with spacious wood worktops and a Belfast sink framed by white metro tiling on the base-mounted cabinets. Integrated appliances comprise an oven, a microwave oven, an induction hob, an extractor hood, and a dishwasher, whilst provision is made for a freestanding American-style fridge/freezer. Fabulous external bi-folding doors glide open to invite the outdoors in, with a deck offering the perfect space to relax alfresco throughout the day or night, with ample space for dining furniture, whilst a lean-to shelter provides cover for a barbecue or a hot tub.

Back inside, a utility room (found on the ground floor and affording external access to the side of the house) supplements the kitchen and houses additional cabinetry and an integrated fridge/freezer, whilst also offering a discrete space for laundry appliances. A useful cloakroom WC can also be found just off the living room.

Bedrooms – Five generous and versatile sleeping areas

Four bedrooms can be found on the ground floor, with the fifth leading off the living room, housing a built-in wardrobe, and offering a flexible space with various options for use, including a snug, a home office, or a children’s play room. The principal bedroom has been designed to feel like a luxurious hotel suite, with a large walk-in dressing room leading to an en-suite shower room. Two of the remaining bedrooms are also accompanied by built-in wardrobes.

Bathrooms – Two well-appointed washrooms

The principal bedroom’s en-suite comprises a deluxe walk-in shower enclosure, a basin set into a vanity unit, and a WC, whilst the exceptionally stylish family bathroom comes complete with a large bathtub, a walk-in enclosure with a rainfall showerhead, a basin atop a vanity unit, and a tall matte-black towel radiator – all enveloped by chic tiling and eye-catching wallpaper.

The home is kept warm by an economical air-source heat pump, whilst the windows are all double-glazed, with some benefiting from noise-reducing acoustic glass.

Gardens and parking – Extensive gardens and private parking

Externally, the home is accompanied by an exceptionally generous rear garden, with a spacious, composite-decked area, leading up to a large lawned area, where the home’s outstanding views can further be enjoyed. This elevated space would be perfect for a summerhouse/outbuilding (subject to any necessary permissions). The garden is ideal for family recreation during the warmer months, as well as alfresco dining and gatherings with friends and guests. Private parking can be found to the front of the house on a gravelled driveway, with a car port and an EV charger.

Extras: all fitted floor coverings, window coverings, light fittings, and integrated kitchen appliances will be included in the sale.
