Description
Contemporary home with panoramic countryside views
Set amidst approximately 1.7 acres of thoughtfully landscaped grounds, this exceptional architect-designed residence offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of considerable scale, vision and bespoke potential. Extending to approximately 4,500 sq ft and offered in a high-specification shell finish, it presents the purchaser the unique opportunity to complete a truly bespoke property.
Meticulously designed to embrace natural light and the surrounding countryside, the property features extensive floor-to-ceiling glazing, soaring ceiling heights and a carefully curated blend of natural materials and architectural features. The house is positioned to capture sunlight throughout the day, with uninterrupted views across the rolling landscape.
The external finish is a testament to the quality of the build, clad entirely in sawn Irish Blue Limestone, complemented by cut Irish Limestone detailing to the cills, arches, lintels and wall capping. All windows are aluminium-framed with double glazing, including several dramatic panels up to 5.2 metres high, and two single uninterrupted panes measuring 4.6m and 3.2m respectively. A zinc-clad box window forms a striking architectural statement to the front, while a timber arched window adds character to the detached gym.
Natural slate has been used throughout the roofing, and all external metalwork, including guttering and cladding, is aluminium, offering durability and a refined finish.
Accommodation
A grand entrance hall sets the tone, featuring a dramatic curved staircase clad in honed Iranian Pietra Grey marble, with each step finished in a deep profiled edge for added refinement. This marble also continues across the hallway floor, creating an immediate sense of understated luxury.
To one side, a double-aspect sitting room features a bespoke Italian Portoro marble fire surround and a large Kalfire gas fire, creating an elegant and refined living space. Opposite, a formal reception room, ideal for entertaining, connects to an adjoining room that may serve as a formal dining space or games room.
The kitchen space is defined by its exceptional scale, open-plan design and soaring double-height ceilings. Full-height glazing and a glazed rooflight flood the space with natural light, while a large tunnel-style Kalfire gas stove, WiFi-enabled, acts as a striking central feature. Underfoot, finely laid Piccadilly limestone flooring enhances the sense of quality, adding texture and a subtle warmth to this expansive living and dining area.
A mezzanine above the kitchen, accessed via a second spiral staircase, holds a guest bedroom suite with ensuite bathroom, providing a private and elevated space.
Additional living spaces include a breakfast room, along with a discreet utility area and guest WC, all thoughtfully positioned for practicality and ease of living.
First Floor
Upstairs, three further spacious bedrooms are arranged around a central landing, including the principal suite which features a walk-in wardrobe and elevated views across the grounds and countryside. The two main bathrooms are finished with honed marble tiles, bespoke marble sinks and Graff fittings.
Throughout the home, lighting and comfort have been carefully considered. Hudson Valley light fittings adorn the living room, dimmer switches and 5-amp circuits are linked to a centralised timer, and heating is delivered via an air-to-water underfloor system, with radiators in the guest suite above the kitchen. Smart thermostats are positioned throughout.
Internal fittings include Burlington range door hardware by Frelan in polished nickel, lending further refinement to the interior aesthetic.
Gardens and Grounds
The gardens surrounding the property have been professionally landscaped to offer seasonal interest and long-term maturity. Gravel paths wind through an expansive planting scheme designed for colour, texture, and biodiversity throughout the year. Carefully selected species include oak, Himalayan birch, Tibetan cherry, apple, crab apple, holly, cotoneaster, viburnum, privet, sycamore, alder, lime, beech, and an impressive collection of cherry trees with both pink and white blooms. Roses and rambling roses further enhance the natural charm.
Raised patios and a courtyard area encircle the property, taking full advantage of its elevated position and providing multiple outdoor entertaining areas with far-reaching countryside views.
Gym building
A separate detached gym building, finished to match the main residence and featuring a timber arched window, offers excellent flexibility for wellness or studio use or indeed an ideal home office or garage.
