Bergh Apton

This truly remarkable home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully extended and meticulously finished residence, where traditional charm meets contemporary design in the most seamless and sophisticated way.

Set back from the lane, the property is approached via a long driveway, leading to a gravelled area that provides ample parking. From the very first step inside, the attention to detail and the exceptional standard of finish are instantly apparent. The spacious reception hall offers a warm welcome, with its elegant proportions setting the tone for what lies beyond.

To the right, the heart of the home unfolds into a truly outstanding open-plan kitchen and living space. Designed with both functionality and aesthetics in mind, the bespoke kitchen is a statement in craftsmanship, offering generous storage, expansive work surfaces, and a large central island ideal for relaxed dining or entertaining. The space flows effortlessly into the dining and sitting area, which is bathed in natural light thanks to full height sliding glazed doors. These open on either side to two generous terraces, creating a wonderful synergy between indoor and outdoor living - perfect for summer gatherings and alfresco dining.

To the left of the reception hall, the drawing room provides a more intimate atmosphere. Featuring a wood-burning stove and rich finishes, this is a room made for winter evenings - atmospheric, elegant, and incredibly inviting. Also on the ground floor, a fully fitted laundry/boot room offers practical space for daily life, along with a separate cloakroom and a second staircase hall that reinforces the home’s thoughtful layout.

Upstairs, the sense of space and light continues across four well-proportioned bedrooms. Each room enjoys its own unique outlook over the surrounding grounds, bringing a sense of calm and connection to the landscape. Two of the bedrooms benefit from contemporary en-suite shower rooms, while the remaining rooms are served by a luxurious family bathroom complete with quality fittings and a timeless finish.

The grounds are a real feature of this home, extending to approximately 2 acres (subject to measured survey). Adjoining the house is a beautiful garden, with generous, paved terraces offering the perfect spot for entertaining or quiet relaxation. The wrap-around lawn provides open space, while two post and rail paddocks beyond offer further possibilities - whether for equestrian use, recreational enjoyment, or simply as an extension of the home’s peaceful surroundings. Behind the house, a series of well-positioned storage sheds add practical versatility.

Although technically semi-detached, the orientation of the properties means they face different directions, ensuring a strong sense of privacy and independence - you would scarcely know the house was attached at all.

Throughout, the interiors have been thoughtfully curated to offer both style and comfort – a home that is ready to move into yet still offers the new owners’ room to make it their own. This is a property that captures the essence of refined country living while offering the convenience and sophistication of modern design.
