Modern barn-style home with land and beautiful views

Description

Oak House is a most impressive detached residence, set in over ten acres of land, with additional land available by separate negotiation. At first glance, one could be forgiven for assuming it is a period house, with its classic barn-like appearance. However, it was constructed in 2010 using French oak to create a contemporary home full of character, while offering all the comforts of modern living.

With the main house providing over 6,000 square feet of accommodation, there is no shortage of space, and the layout is both well planned and versatile. On the ground floor, there is a vast open-plan sitting room with a wood burner and a high vaulted ceiling featuring a wealth of exposed light oak beams. There are stunning views over the paddock and surrounding fields, and the main reception area is perfect for entertaining. This space flows seamlessly into the kitchen, which is well equipped with fitted units, an AGA, and ample room for a dining table.

An inner hall provides access to two bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en-suite shower room, while the other has access to a family bathroom. There are also two further vaulted bedrooms accessed via a spiral staircase.

A fantastic pool complex includes an indoor swimming pool, gym area, and bi-fold doors opening onto the garden. There is also a shower room serving this part of the house. A staircase leads down from the kitchen to the lower ground floor, which has its own separate access and is therefore potentially ideal for dependent relatives. This level comprises a cloakroom, sitting room, study, utility room, and a superb cinema room.

The principal bedroom suite is accessed via the staircase from the inner hall. The suite comprises a double bedroom and an en-suite bathroom featuring a stylish copper bath and a separate shower. The entire property enjoys a wonderful sense of light and space, with superb views in every direction.

Outside, the property is approached via a long driveway leading to an extensive parking area, front garden, and a four-bay carport constructed in a sympathetic style. To the rear is a large terrace with a wonderful outlook over the adjoining land, while much of the garden is laid to lawn. The paddock immediately to the side is currently rented to a local farmer and is well maintained. The whole plot extends to approximately 10.6 acres.

NB: Further land is available, including another large paddock and an area of woodland with access to a canal.
