Description
Built in 1990, Sommar House is a Swedish designed four bedroom family house, with an impressive west facing outlook at the rear overlooking gently undulating agricultural land.

Being an innovative, forward thinking design at the time, Sommar House was constructed with energy efficiency in mind with triple glazed windows and good levels of insulation, set within the sustainable timber frame, with brick and timber clad elevations.  

Over the years the vendors have maintained Sommar House extremely well, upgrading and replacing the fixtures and fittings as required.  In recent years the kitchen was changed and a new boiler was installed.  The exterior of the property was also redecorated in 2024.

Being of Swedish design, the property also includes some clever ‘technology’; there is an integral vacuuming system throughout the house as well as a Husqvarna vertical dryer for laundry.  Outside, serving the principal and guest bedroom, is an almost full length balcony, that makes the most of the wonderful west facing view at the rear.  

The gardens and grounds are delightful.  To the front of the property there is a sweeping gravel driveway that leads to the double garage, which has been subdivided internally to create workshop areas, but could easily be converted back to a garage if required.  The rear garden has also been landscaped, with a mixture of decked and shingled areas, interspersed with mature planting, together with a pond, that enjoys the stunning views at the rear.
