Fernbrooke Lodge, Candie, FK1

Fernbrooke Lodge
An exceptional architecturally designed three-bedroom detached stone house, completed in 2024, nestled in a sought-after semi-rural location. This stunning contemporary home seamlessly blends cutting-edge design with luxurious living spaces and breathtaking open views.

Step through the porch into the impressive double-height entrance hall, where the sense of style and quality is immediately apparent. There is a striking staircase with a glass balustrade, whilst skylights flood the space with natural light. Elegant Crittall doors and premium LVT flooring flow throughout the ground floor, creating a cohesive and sophisticated aesthetic.

The heart of the home is the spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space at the rear. This expansive area features two large sets of patio doors that frame magnificent panoramic views, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Above the dining area, a galleried landing with a skylight adds architectural drama and additional natural light. The living area, whilst open-plan, retains an inviting sense of cosiness. A feature log burner is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the stunning views, whilst a stylish media wall with built-in storage provides an additional focal point. Glass doors open onto the patio, extending the living space outdoors.

The bespoke kitchen is truly a chef's paradise, fitted with Haig two-tone cabinetry enhanced by mood lighting. The impressive island provides ample space for casual dining and food preparation. High-end integrated appliances include an induction hob, two ovens (one with air fryer and microwave functions), warming drawer, dishwasher, and fridge/freezer - all with self-cleaning capabilities. Adjacent to the kitchen, a practical butler's pantry offers additional storage and prep space whilst the generous utility room/boot room houses a washing machine and tumble dryer, abundant storage, a built-in bench, and side access to the garden.

The ground floor hosts the first of three double bedrooms, featuring front-facing windows and the luxury of a fitted dressing room with bespoke storage solutions. The ensuite bathroom is partially tiled with stone tiles and boasts a large walk-in shower with rainfall head and a shampoo niche, a vanity unit with sink, and a toilet. A stylish WC with a feature sink completes the ground floor facilities.

Ascend to the galleried landing, where a seating area takes full advantage of floor-to-ceiling windows. The principal bedroom is generously proportioned with plush carpet, sliding doors opening to a Juliet balcony with stunning views, space for a seating area, and a built-in wardrobe. The dressing room with fitted storage leads through to a beautifully appointed ensuite bathroom featuring a designer freestanding bath, walk-in shower with rainfall head, vanity unit with sink, WC, bidet, mood lighting, and elegant brass hardware. The second bedroom on this floor is another substantial double with plush carpet and glass doors to a Juliet balcony. A dressing room provides access to the spa-like ensuite, complete with freestanding bath, walk-in shower, vanity unit with sink, and toilet.

The property benefits from underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, whilst the first floor is heated via an air source heat pump. Solar panels contribute to energy efficiency. Security is provided by CCTV and alarm systems.

The Garden
To the front, a monoblock driveway offers parking for multiple vehicles and includes an EV charging point. The rear garden is a magnificent tiered sanctuary featuring a large patio area with heritage stone slabs, flower beds planted with palm trees, areas of artificial grass, and a further patio space - all enjoying views towards Cockleroy Hill. External taps and sockets add convenience.

The property includes planning permission for a garage with attached annexe and office to the side. Foundations are already in place for a sauna/studio to the front, whilst the rear garden has foundations, water supply, and plumbing prepared for a summerhouse or hot tub installation.
