Description

Craykefields was constructed in 2016 by the well-regarded Mulgrave Properties, this exceptional executive detached home offers generous and beautifully presented accommodation. Sitting in a desirable corner plot with uninterrupted countryside views, the property combines modern design with a wonderful sense of space and light, creating a truly special home.

The kitchen/dining room and sitting room extend the full depth of the property, offering an excellent flow for modern family living.

The kitchen/dining room is a bright and versatile space, with windows to three sides allowing an abundance of natural light to flood in. The dining area, set within a bay window to the front, offers an ideal space for entertaining, while the kitchen itself is fitted with contemporary shaker-style units, solid wood worktops, and a striking peninsula island with breakfast seating. There is ample space for an American-style fridge freezer, and a well-appointed utility room provides additional storage, a secondary sink, and access to the garden.

The sitting room is a beautifully proportioned reception space, also extending the full depth of the property. A wood-burning stove forms a welcoming focal point, and French doors open directly onto the garden terrace, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor connection.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three double bedrooms, including a superb principal suite with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite shower room. A stylish family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms on this level.
The second floor provides two further generous double bedrooms and a large shower room, making this floor ideal for older children, guests, or a home office setup.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The double garage benefits from storage above, accessed by pull-down ladders, while the wraparound gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to create distinct areas for relaxation and recreation.

To the rear, the principal garden is arranged across three levels, with a lower terrace for outdoor dining, raised beds, and a charming pond feature. A central lawn offers ample space for family enjoyment, while the upper level provides further raised beds - ideal for keen gardeners.
