Ground Floor - Exceptional Living and Entertaining Spaces 

Upon entering Fildraw, you are immediately greeted by an air of sophistication and charm. The main entrance opens into a spacious reception hall that provides access to the various living spaces. The principal reception rooms are bright, airy, and perfectly designed for entertaining or relaxed family living. The living room is a particularly inviting space, featuring an exposed stone wall with an open grate fireplace, which adds a touch of warmth and character. Double doors lead from the living room into the expansive garden room, which is filled with natural light and boasts panoramic views of the surrounding rural landscape. The garden room, with its atrium roof and tiled floor, offers a superb connection to the outdoors, with double doors leading directly to the pool complex. 

The dining room, another beautifully appointed space, features an attractive stone wall and is ideal for hosting dinner parties or family gatherings. Adjacent to the dining room is the heart of the home – a superbly designed O'Rourke modern kitchen.

The Pool Complex - A Private Retreat 

One of the standout features of Fildraw is its impressive indoor pool complex. Accessed from the main reception hall and the garden room, the pool room is a luxurious space designed for relaxation and leisure. The large pool is protected by a cover when not in use, and the vaulted ceiling adds to the grandeur of this space. A raised corner Jacuzzi offers the perfect spot to unwind, while the pool's plant room houses an oil-fired boiler and a filtration system that ensures the pool operates smoothly. A separate shower room is located off the rear hall and features a large walk-in shower, WC, and hand basin, all beautifully finished with wooden floors and tiled accents. 

An internal office on the second floor overlooks the pool complex, providing a quiet space to work while enjoying views of this serene environment. This makes it easy to transition between work and relaxation without ever leaving the comfort of home. 

Bedrooms - Luxurious Accommodation

This large room features an extensive range of built-in bedroom furniture and exposed beams, offering views over the front garden. The en-suite bathroom is equipped with a Jacuzzi bath, a large walk-in shower, a tiled vanity unit with an inset sink, and a WC. The space is bathed in natural light, thanks to the inclusion of a Velux window, and the part-tiled walls complete the look, creating a spa-like atmosphere.  

Bedroom 2 is equally impressive, fitted with elegant oak-finished wardrobes and exposed beam ceilings. Its en-suite bathroom features a roll-top bath, vanity unit with an inset sink, WC, and a large walk-in shower. Half-panelled wood walls and stunning rural views make this bathroom a peaceful and comfortable retreat.  

The inner sitting room, part of the original cottage, retains many of its historic features, including exposed stone walls, an open grate fireplace, and a beamed ceiling. Stairs from this room lead to the remaining bedrooms. Bedroom 3, a spacious, split-level room featuring two arched stone entrances, a dressing area with built-in wardrobes, and a stunning en-suite bathroom with a Jacuzzi bath, pedestal hand basin, and WC, all complemented by attractive tiled walls. 

Bedrooms 4 and 5 are both bright and airy rooms, each with en-suite bathrooms that feature modern bath, wash hand basin, and WC fittings with fully tiled walls, ensuring every corner of the home is finished to the highest standard.
