Set behind electric gates, the exterior combines warm timber cladding with smooth render, giving an immediate hint of the home’s understated Nordic aesthetic. Stepping inside, a dramatic double-height hallway sets a tranquil tone, with microcement flooring to the ground floor and full-height glazing drawing natural light deep into the house.

The expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space forms the heart of the home. Skylights and picture windows create a bright, uplifting environment, while contemporary fireplaces and natural textures bring warmth and softness. It is a beautifully balanced space designed for relaxed everyday living and effortless entertaining.

A second dual-aspect reception room offers a more intimate setting - ideal as a snug, formal dining room, playroom, or cinema space, while retaining the home’s calm, elegant feel.

One of the property’s most versatile features is the ground-floor suite. The bedroom opens onto a private sunken terrace, and directly alongside sits a generous studio with both internal access and its own independent external entrance. The owners have thoughtfully added an ensuite shower room, enhancing its functionality. Together, these spaces offer exceptional flexibility — ideal as a self-contained annexe, an independent home-office setup, or an impressive main or guest suite for visiting family and friends.

A glazed bridge connects the ground floor to the first-floor bedrooms, serving as an eye-catching feature and allowing natural light to flow between the levels. The first floor features oak flooring and a spacious landing, which, bathed in light from surrounding windows, lends itself perfectly as a quiet reading area, study nook, or informal library, providing a calm retreat within the home. Leading off the landing, the principal bedroom provides a peaceful sanctuary, complete with fitted storage and a contemporary ensuite. A freestanding bath sits within the main bedroom itself, allowing panoramic views across the surrounding countryside while creating a luxurious, spa-like retreat. Two further double bedrooms and a modern shower room complete the first floor.

The gardens, approaching half an acre, provide a peaceful and private retreat, with mature planting, established trees, and open views. Adjacent to the main kitchen, a fantastic pergola-covered outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven and built-in BBQ creates an inviting space for alfresco dining and entertaining. Open lawns and generous terraces offer flexible areas for summer gatherings, children’s play, or quiet reflection, while a storage shed and electric car charging point add convenience and practicality.
