Imposing modern house with fine countryside views

Description

Willow Ridge is an imposing and exceptionally spacious nine bedroom detached residence, constructed to an exacting specification and set within approximately 1.1 acres of beautifully maintained grounds. The property enjoys far-reaching countryside views to both the front and rear, offering a fine sense of privacy and semi-rural tranquillity.

The house provides superb and versatile family accommodation arranged over three floors, extending to generous proportions throughout. A striking reception hall with a double-height ceiling, elegant oak staircase and galleried landing creates a wonderful first impression and forms the heart of the home. This leads through to a beautifully proportioned sitting room, featuring an impressive inglenook fireplace with log burner and bi-fold doors opening directly onto the rear terrace and gardens beyond. There is also an outstanding 31 ft dining room, ideally suited to formal entertaining on a grand scale.
The bespoke kitchen/breakfast room is a particular highlight, comprehensively fitted with a range of high-quality Miele appliances and centred around a substantial island with granite worktop and integrated teppanyaki grill, providing both functionality and style for modern family living. The ultra rare granite worktops originating from fossilised riverbeds display just one of the many of the unique characters and outstanding quality of this property. The pebbles, stones and natural sediment of ancient riverbeds subjected to geological processes over millions of years, now display a fascinating pattern which adds to its allure as a one-of-a-kind fossilised stone worktop.

Further ground floor accommodation includes a triple-aspect orangery enjoying delightful views over the rear garden, creating an ideal space for year-round enjoyment. In addition, there is a well-appointed guest bedroom suite, together with a study, utility room and cloakroom.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite is notably impressive, comprising fitted wardrobes, a dedicated dressing room and a luxurious en suite bathroom, with the added benefit of access to a private balcony enjoying outstanding sunset views across the surrounding countryside. Three further bedroom suites, each with en suite facilities, together with a nursery, complete this level. The second floor offers four additional double bedrooms, all well-proportioned and appointed with fitted wardrobes and en suite bathrooms, providing excellent accommodation for family and guests alike.

Externally, the property is approached via electric gates leading to a large block-paved driveway, affording extensive parking and access to a triple integral garage. In addition, there is a substantial detached garage complex with a gym situated on the first floor, offering further flexibility. The landscaped rear garden backs onto open farmland, enhancing the sense of seclusion, and features a wide paved terrace with loggia and an outdoor kitchen, perfectly designed for al fresco dining and entertaining.

An adjacent plot of about 0.64 acres is also available by separate negotiation. Please ask for further details.
