Description

With attractive stone faced elevations beneath slate and tiled roofs, this impressive and modern home was constructed in 2007. It provides beautifully appointed accommodation throughout, combining generous proportions, contemporary comforts and wonderful views across rolling countryside to the west, and across the garden to the south.


The accommodation is ideally arranged for modern family living and entertaining, with a superb flow between the principal rooms. A water based underfloor heating system runs throughout the house, with Fired Earth tiled flooring across the ground floor hallway, kitchen and ancillary areas. Solar panels supplement the hot water system, reducing running costs, while the property also benefits from integrated WiFi. All of the seven bedrooms are excellent doubles, each with fitted wardrobes, and are served by four stylish Porcelanosa bath and shower rooms.


Accommodation
A wide entrance hallway, with central oak staircase, creates an immediate sense of scale, with oak doors opening to the main reception rooms. The full length drawing room has an attractive open fireplace, whilst the large bay window frames the westerly views. A more intimate living room also faces west and features a further bay window and open fireplace, whilst the dining room has French doors that open to the garden.


The spacious dual aspect kitchen/living room is a superb family space, fitted with a bespoke oak suite, granite and timber worktops, integrated appliances and a central island. Bifold doors open onto the terrace and garden, while a rear hallway connects to the integral double garage.


From the entrance hallway, the staircase rises to a large landing area, from which four well proportioned double bedrooms are served by three bath or shower rooms. The principal suite includes a dressing room and en suite shower room, while the west facing guest bedroom also benefits from its own en suite. Bedroom three has been fitted as a bespoke office, whilst it and bedroom four share the well appointed family bathroom.


At second floor level, there are three further generous double bedrooms and an additional shower room. This floor is ideal for guests, for teenagers or for homeworking.

Outside
The gravelled driveway runs along the eastern side of the house and provides parking for multiple vehicles, with access to the integral double garage.

The garden lies to the south and has been attractively landscaped, with lawned areas, terraces positioned to follow the sun throughout the day, and mature shrubs and trees that ensure a good degree of privacy.

Redcoat House is approached from Second Drift, with a righthand lane serving the property and three neighbouring homes. Second Drift is a private road, while the lane directly accessing Redcoat House is jointly maintained by the four properties that use it.
