Payhembury, Honiton, Devon

Description

Representing an outstanding example of modern architectural vision, Braeburn Barn is a newly completed residence situated on the original, coveted footprint of Egremont Farm's agricultural barns.

One of only four unique, high-specification properties, Braeburn Barn has been meticulously completed to surpass the very latest building and energy efficiency regulations, establishing it as an exceptionally energy-efficient and environmentally friendly home.

The accommodation seamlessly blends contemporary living with classic, comfortable country style, incorporating a lavish selection of expensive fittings and high-end finishes throughout to create a deeply attractive and comfortable family home.

Upon approach, you are greeted by an impressive front door which opens into the magnificent reception Hall. This space immediately sets the tone for the home's quality, featuring a spectacular, hand-finished Italian oak cantilever staircase, a testament to the skill of local engineers and craftsmen. The adjacent feature wall is a stunning work of art, hand-finished in Venetian plaster by a nationally renowned local expert.

This impressive staircase ascends to a galleried landing, complete with a stainless steel and glazed balustrade, ensuring the hall remains a light, airy, and spacious entry point. Practicality is not overlooked, with a large fitted storage cupboard conveniently placed for coats and shoes, alongside further useful storage beneath the landing.

The Hall flows naturally into the heart of the home, a generously proportioned open-plan Kitchen, dining and Family Room. This vast space offers ample room for both formal dining and a comfortable sitting or play area.

The bespoke kitchen is beautifully finished in a classic navy blue Shaker style complemented by elegant white Silestone work surfaces. An array of integral Siemens appliances, including a five-ring induction hob, an electric oven, a second combination/microwave oven, and a full-height fridge and sought-after Quooker tap for instant boiling water. The central island suite incorporates a relaxed breakfast bar and a perfectly placed wine cooler.

Bifold doors connect the kitchen to the external patio and garden, which benefits from a desirable sunny, southerly aspect, providing the perfect setting for summer barbecues and al fresco dining.

Ensuring year-round comfort, the entire ground floor is equipped with underfloor heating beneath beautiful floor tiling. For ultimate control, the downstairs bathroom and the principal en-suite shower room benefit from dedicated underfloor heating systems that can be operated in isolation.

The adjoining Utility Room is fitted in the same high-quality style as the kitchen, housing a full-height freezer and featuring a highly useful external access door.

The well-designed, versatile layout incorporates two substantial ground floor bedrooms. The first offers flexibility as an ideal home office or study, while the second boasts an opulent en-suite shower room, perfect for guests or multi-generational living.

Separately, the living room is a generous and peaceful retreat, strategically positioned away from the main kitchen and family area, offering the perfect sanctuary for relaxing at the end of the day.

The light and spacious galleried landing on the first floor provides extensive storage via two built-in double wardrobe cupboards. Bedrooms are positioned to either side of the landing.

The Principal Bedroom is a beautiful retreat, benefiting from excellent natural light via Velux windows and featuring a beautifully tiled, luxurious en-suite shower room. The impressive second bedroom on this floor overlooks the living space below and offers further versatility, potentially serving as a sophisticated second sitting room, a dedicated dressing room, or a spacious study, completing the comprehensive and adaptable suite of accommodation.

The property is accessed via a gravelled entrance drive which leads to the driveway for the property offering parking beneath a substantial oak car port designated exclusively for Braeburn Barn.

This exceptional home combines local craftsmanship, stunning design, and superior energy performance, promising a future of comfortable and stylish country living.
