Description
Step inside to an impressive ground floor layout featuring open plan living, incorporating a sleek, contemporary kitchen designed and installed by local specialists, Kitchen Style. The kitchen comes fully equipped with integrated smart WiFi appliances, perfect for effortless day-to-day living and hosting. There are 12 chairs available for dining, with an additional table that can be placed alongside the main dining table, plus a high chair.
The flexible accommodation includes five generous bedrooms, two with en suites, over two floors, with bedrooms one and two enjoying direct access to an extended south-facing balcony that spans the full width of the house, ideal for soaking up the sun from morning into the evening. The home is well served by two en suite shower rooms, a stylish family bathroom, and an additional ground floor wet room adjacent to bedroom three. The layout has been thoughtfully considered for accessibility, with the wet room offering easy wheelchair access. The house is generously sized for inter-generational family groups or friends, yet equally cosy for a couple on their own.
Designed with sustainability and efficiency in mind, the property features a solar panel system paired with a Tesla Powerwall (located in the adjacent detached canoe store), an air source heat pump, and underfloor heating throughout. Excess solar energy is stored in the Tesla Powerwall and fed back into the National Grid, generating additional income for the owner. Each room benefits from individual Heatmiser controls, operable locally or remotely via mobile phone, ensuring the home is warm and welcoming on arrival. An ethanol burner in the sitting room provides an additional focal point for cooler evenings. There is no gas supply at Shepperds View — the property runs entirely on clean energy — ensuring year round comfort with minimal environmental impact and significantly reduced energy bills. A Tesla EV charging point is also in place, catering to modern driving needs.
Outside, the home continues to impress with an extended deck ideal for alfresco dining, a fenced garden, hot tub, and outdoor shower — the ultimate set up for entertaining or unwinding after a day in the city or by the coast. The property is offered fully furnished and equipped — including all furniture, artwork, kitchen utensils, and linen — with off road parking for two vehicles and a detached canoe store currently used for bicycles, tools, and garden furniture storage. Please note that the bicycles and tools are not included.
