Description
Extending to approximately 2,228 sq. ft., this superb home effortlessly blends contemporary style with charm and character. The original cottage dates back to 1910 and has been thoughtfully transformed over the years, including a substantial extension in 2010.
Accessed via electric gates and boasting an impressive B energy rating, the property delivers exceptional comfort and energy efficiency with a heat recovery unit, solar PV panels, oil fired central heating and features Casey's luxury Karndean flooring throughout, specified for optimum performance with the underfloor heating throughout the home. The property is suitable to qualify for attractive green mortgage rates.
From the moment you arrive, the home's individuality and architectural flair are immediately apparent. A distinctive porthole style front door opens to a striking entrance hall where a vaulted ceiling and extensive glazing flood the space with natural light and frame beautiful views of the surrounding gardens.
The accommodation has been carefully designed to maximise comfort, functionality and connection with the outdoors. On the ground floor there are four generously proportioned bedrooms, two of which enjoy en-suite bathrooms. A luxurious family bathroom provides a spa-like retreat, complete with a sunken bath, whilst a practical utility room adds further convenience. The master bedroom benefits from direct access to the gardens via a glazed door, creating a peaceful private sanctuary to enjoy the tranquillity of the setting from the very start of the day.
A beautiful solid oak staircase leads to the first floor, where a large feature window and the impressive, glazed entrance continue to bathe the home in natural light and an expansive view. A spacious reception room offers wonderful flexibility and could equally serve as a fifth bedroom, home office, playroom or additional living space. Featuring fitted storage and a dual aspect, it is a room designed to adapt effortlessly to a growing family's needs.
Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the spectacular open plan kitchen, dining and living area. Here, extensive glazing perfectly captures the magnificent countryside views while seamlessly connecting the interior with the balcony and gardens beyond. The stylish kitchen is fitted with quality cabinetry and worktops, complemented by Casey's luxury Karndean flooring and a beautiful Waterford Stanley range oven which provides an attractive focal point for everyday family life and entertaining alike. Every element has been designed to maximise the surrounding views, with a glazed door opening onto the balcony overlooking the expansive decking and veranda and beautiful gardens below.
The adjoining living area is equally impressive, where large picture windows frame the countryside views and creates a wonderful sense of space and light, while a contemporary solid fuel stove with exposed flue provides warmth and character. A conveniently located shower room on this level further enhances the practicality of the home.
Outside, the grounds are truly remarkable and reflect years of meticulous care and attention. Beyond the electric gates, a plum gravel driveway provides generous parking with an EV charger connection and is complemented by outdoor lighting, manicured lawns and an abundance of mature trees, shrubs and planting.
The gardens unfold as a series of enchanting outdoor rooms, each with its own unique character and charm. The wildflower garden is a haven for nature lovers, enclosed by mature hedging and featuring a rich variety of native blooms, a wildlife pond and charming seating area from which to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and wildlife.
From here, the beautifully scented rose garden is filled with fragrant David Austin roses and lavender and is framed by a yew hedge. The fruit garden offers an impressive selection of homegrown produce, including blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, elderberries and honeyberries, alongside pear, apple and plum trees.
A substantial polytunnel extends the growing season and is home to raised beds featuring strawberries, grapes, rosemary and an array of herbs, while a spacious chicken coop further complements the property's self-sufficient appeal.
The impressive Potager garden offers a stylish outdoor garden room complete with a concrete floor, French doors, exterior cladding, recessed lighting and windows and offers endless possibilities as a home office, gym, studio or additional storage space. Additional raised vegetable beds and a seating area provide the perfect environment for cultivating fresh produce.
