Contemporary living with open countryside views

Description

Woodburgh House enjoys the wonderful combination of contemporary living in a rural setting. Forming part of a bespoke collection of four houses by the renowned developer Orchard Homes, Woodburgh House sits discreetly at the end of the four, directly neighbouring farmland over which the house enjoys far reaching views. It creates that lovely feeling of openness – yet in a convenient village environment.

The theme of the house is the amazing light and space throughout. Plenty of glazing and tall vaulted ceilings combine to great effect, the house has an impressive energy to it than tends to come with houses that have plenty of natural light.

The entrance hall sets the tone, with a wide and welcoming space with a vista running the depth of the house to gardens behind. The hall helps to provide a good flow to the ground floor layout, linking the principal rooms. The heart of the house is an exceptional open plan kitchen/sitting room, a focal point to life at Woodburgh House. Both stylish and functional, with bespoke cabinetry, the star of the show is the large island unit, which hosts plenty of cooking space, as well as a breakfast bar, perfect for sociable and informal suppers, or cooking masterclasses! A comfortable sitting area and TV area completes the space, with a glazed corner of long bi-fold doors opening out to the gardens. The clever layout of the house has wide bi-folds that open onto a further capacious room about 11 metres long, hosting a more formal dining space and living areas. This highly impressive room can be arranged to suit your living style, with central fireplace, and wide bi-fold doors providing wonderful views over countryside.

Off this open space is a more cosy garden room, with vaulted ceilings and again full of light from a sky lantern and bifold doors to the gardens. At the front of the house is a large study, which has been designed to provide for a future proofing ground floor bedroom given the adjoining shower room. The ground floor is completed by a boot room, ideal for when returning from muddy walks, and a utility room, all with fitted cabinetry.

Upstairs, again there is a well thought through layout and the feeling of space and light continues. The principal bedrooms live up to expectations, a lovely room with juliette balcony and windows to optimise the views over countryside, and taking in the sunsets given the west facing orientation. This room has an en suite bath/shower room, and a fitted dressing room. Three further bedrooms are all impressive double rooms, each with an en suite shower room with walk in showers, and either walk in or conventional wardrobes.

Naturally, the house was built to a high standard ensuring an ease of living, and efficiency with under floor heating, air source heat pumps and excellent insulation.

Outside
Woodburgh House is approached through panelled gates, opening to an expansive parking and turning area for many cars. This area adjoins the house, and the three bay garaging, with two bays enclosed by electric doors, and the third bay open fronted.

Areas of lawn and border the parking area, with herbaceous beds in front of the house. The gardens the continue along the side of the house, with a practical gravelled area leading to the boot room, and lawns to the west. The main garden is at the back of the house and have been landscaped to provide seasonal colour but also for manageability. Adjoining the house, onto which the kitchen and dining space bifolds open to, is a large paved area proving areas for al fresco dining, entertaining or simply relaxing. The paving links from the garden room on the west of the house, all the way round to the bootroom on the east. The gardens are laid to lawn, with well stocked herbaceous beds, gravelled areas, pond, an area of wildflowers, greenhouse and raised beds. A garden shed hosts all the tools and machinery.

It is a peaceful and relaxing environment, backing onto woodland and open countryside.
