So many measures have been taken to ensure future proofing and cost efficiency, including; triple glazed windows throughout, air source heating and solar panels. The entire electrical and heating systems were installed by the current owners in 2020.

The equestrian facilities are second to none, with around 6 acres of fenced paddocks, stabling, a tack room, shelter and further useful outbuildings, all surrounded by unbeatable views over forests and fields.

The property has been comprehensively upgraded by the current owners since acquiring the property in 2020, including full re-wiring, re-plumbing and insulation, and now benefits from triple glazed aluminium windows, security doors, a highly efficient air source heat pump system and 21 solar panels, supported by a 10kW SolarEdge battery system. Underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor, complemented by radiators upstairs.

There is also high-speed connectivity options including Gigaclear availability nearby, strong 4G and 5G coverage, and a comprehensive WiFi mesh system throughout the house.

Entering the property through the front door, you are greeted by a beautiful, bright entrance hallway with skylight above and attractive contemporary tiled flooring.

The hallway gives access to a tastefully finished shower room and a utility-plant room, with high ceiling and additional storage units. This room houses all of the additional equipment and fixtures for the solar energy. Further along the hallway, you enter a spectacular living room, with lots of light streaming in from two sides and lovely front facing views. There is engineered oak flooring and a wood burning stove to the far end, offering a lovely cosy feel during the winter months.

To the end of the hallway is a spacious home office, with side facing views, ideal for those working from home, but with the option for use as a children’s play room, a general hobbies room or even a ground floor bedroom, being served by the shower room down the hallway.

At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed Mereway kitchen-dining room. This exceptionally bright space enjoys triple aspect windows, with a large side window enjoying beautiful far-reaching views and triple glazed double doors leading outside to the rear patio area.

There is an electric Aga incorporating an induction hob, integrated Samsung appliances, and a walk-in pantry providing excellent storage. A central island offers a sink, additional worksurfaces and storage beneath.

As set of stairs leads upstairs where you will find two double bedrooms offering built in storage cupboards and pleasant front facing views.

The bathroom is generous in size, featuring a freestanding bathtub, double vanity wash basin, W.C, heated towel rail and inset towel storage, all finished off with lovely high quality tiling to the floors and walls.

There is a stunning en-suite, complete with a walk in shower finished with dark stone tiling, vanity wash basin, W.C, heated towel rail ad fitted storage cupboard.

The self-contained wing of the house is equally well appointed, featuring a spacious open plan kitchen-living room (with kitchen again made by Mereway), two double bedrooms, one with en-suite, and a family bathroom; all finished to the same high quality of finish as the main house.
