Description

The property offers the very best in stylish living by incorporating modern design with relaxing and inviting spaces. A soft colour palette combines with large areas of glass to create a wonderfully light family home.
The property has the benefit of an extensive garden and heated indoor swimming pool/leisure suite.

The property has electric gates which lead to a tarmac driveway providing access to the garage and parking for several vehicles.

The stylish open-plan contemporary kitchen/dining/ family room is at the core of the house. The kitchen is well equipped with a range of base and wall units and a large island with additional storage. This also provides a seating area. There are a number of integrated appliances including oven, microwave, dishwasher, wine cooler, barbecue grill, 5-ring hob and island extractor fan. Beyond the kitchen is a dining and family room with bi-fold doors providing the perfect link out to the patio and further increasing the entertaining space. The family room has a particularly attractive feature fireplace. The entire open-plan area has underfloor heating and tiled floor. On this side of the house there is a utility room again with integrated dishwasher, a wet room, cloakroom with WC and a further large living/games room again with bifold doors out to the garden. The indoor pool is accessed from this area. To the other side of the kitchen is a separate wing which comprises three bedrooms (one en suite), a shower room, study/office and access through to the integral garage. An attractive staircase leads up from the open-plan kitchen/dining room to the first floor accommodation.

To one side of the spacious upper hallway is a guest suite with dressing area with fitted wardrobes, en suite shower room and a balcony overlooking the large rear garden. To the other side of the hallway is the principal bedroom suite which has a spacious dressing room with a range of fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. There is also a useful linen closet and office on this level. A particular feature of the property is the pool house which has an immaculately maintained swimming pool, a series of French doors opening out to the garden and attached boiler room. The property benefits from recently installed solar panels to the pool house as well as the installation of a new boiler, pump and filter in the pool. This building is a flexible space and if a buyer did not require the swimming pool then subject to the relevant planning permission this area could be used as a self-contained annexe or extensive office space. The garden is fantastic, mainly laid to lawn so easy to manage but so extensive and ideal for children to enjoy ball games.
The owners currently run the property as an extremely successful holiday let so this could be continued if an investor was interested in this option.
