Description - The Haven is a highly individual architect-designed family home occupying a secluded position within the sought-after village of Marchamley. Defined by its striking curved walls, angular glazing and unique design features, the property offers generous and versatile accommodation extending to over 2,100 sq ft, together with substantial scope for modernisation and enhancement. Surrounded by beautifully established gardens and enjoying an exceptional degree of privacy, The Haven presents a rare opportunity to create a truly outstanding contemporary home in an attractive rural setting.

The Haven has been thoughtfully designed to maximise natural light and garden views, creating a home that feels both spacious and connected to its surroundings.

A welcoming reception hall leads through to the principal living accommodation, where the architectural character of the property becomes immediately apparent. The impressive sitting room is a particular highlight, featuring a striking curved wall and an expansive picture window overlooking the rear gardens, allowing the landscape to become an integral part of the living space. The room offers excellent proportions for both everyday family life and entertaining.

The adjoining dining room provides a formal entertaining space and enjoys a natural connection to both the sitting room and kitchen. The kitchen/breakfast room offers generous proportions and excellent potential for reconfiguration, creating an exciting opportunity to establish a contemporary open-plan family hub if desired, subject to any necessary consents.

A notable feature of the accommodation is the ground-floor principal bedroom suite, complete with en suite bathroom facilities. This arrangement provides excellent future-proofing, whilst also lending itself perfectly to multigenerational living, dependent relatives or visiting guests.

The first floor provides three further bedrooms, all enjoying attractive views over the surrounding gardens, together with a family bathroom. The layout offers flexibility for family living, guest accommodation or home-working requirements.

Throughout the property there is considerable scope for refurbishment and updating, allowing an incoming purchaser to enhance and personalise the accommodation while capitalising on the property's strong architectural foundations and exceptional setting.

Outside - The Haven sits within expansive wrap-around gardens which are undoubtedly one of the property's most appealing features. Mature trees, established hedging and carefully planted borders combine to create a wonderfully private environment, largely screened from neighbouring properties and the surrounding countryside.

The gardens have evolved over many years into a series of distinct outdoor spaces, each offering its own character and atmosphere. Sweeping lawns extend around the property, interspersed with mature shrubs, specimen trees and secluded seating areas, creating ideal spaces for relaxation, entertaining and family enjoyment.

Immediately adjoining the house are paved terraces positioned to capture different aspects of the sun throughout the day, while the curved architecture of the property creates attractive sheltered areas that blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.

To the front, a private driveway provides parking and turning space and leads to the detached double garage, offering excellent storage, workshop potential or future ancillary uses, subject to the necessary consents.

The combination of architectural individuality, mature landscaped grounds and remarkable privacy creates a setting of rare quality, offering significant potential to create a truly exceptional country home.
