Stunning, newly built family home with open countryside views

Description

A striking architect-designed residence, completed in 2021, enjoying beautifully elevated south-facing views across open countryside. Designed and built by the current owners, this exceptional home has been finished to an outstanding specification throughout, combining contemporary design with high-quality materials and meticulous attention to detail. The property benefits from underfloor heating across the ground floor and an abundance of natural light throughout.

At the heart of the home is a magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining and family space, perfectly suited to modern living and entertaining. This impressive room is enhanced by high ceilings and expansive glazed doors, creating a seamless connection with the garden and framing the far-reaching rural views. The kitchen itself is elegantly appointed with sleek cabinetry, integrated appliances and striking glass work surfaces. For more formal or private living, a separate family room and a dedicated study provide versatile additional spaces, while a well-equipped utility room and cloakroom add practicality to the ground floor.

A contemporary staircase, featuring oak and glass, rises to the first floor, where a generous landing leads to five well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite is particularly impressive, incorporating a stylish en suite bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe. A second bedroom also benefits from en suite facilities, ideal for guests, while the remaining three bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom. Further storage is provided by a walk-in cupboard.

Externally, the property is approached via brick-pillared gates opening onto a spacious driveway, which in turn leads to a double garage. The south-facing rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped and enjoys a high degree of privacy, backing directly onto open countryside and making the most of the exceptional outlook.
