Exceptional and unique architect-designed Huf Haus with swimming pool, private gardens and panoramic views.

Description

A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional Huf Haus extending to approximately 4,555 sq ft, occupying a private setting behind electric gates within 1.325 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds. Set back approximately 300 metres from the main road, The Grange enjoys a remarkable sense of privacy and seclusion while offering generously proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors.

Offered to the market for the first time, The Grange forms part of an exclusive gated community of just three residences. Designed by Huf Haus in its iconic post-and-beam style, the property combines striking contemporary design with light-filled accommodation, reflecting the quality and craftsmanship for which these architect-designed homes are so highly regarded.

The lower ground floor has been thoughtfully arranged to provide a superb range of ancillary accommodation. A generous family room enjoys direct access to the gardens and is complemented by a gym, library, utility room and extensive storage. A further bedroom with adjacent shower room offers excellent flexibility for guests and multi-generational living.

Unlike most Huf Haus properties, this home was individually designed with increased ceiling heights and enhanced internal proportions, creating a greater sense of space and ensuring comfortable, fully walkable accommodation across all floors.

The first floor forms the heart of the home and is designed around an outstanding open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. The impressive living and dining areas are flooded with natural light through extensive glazing and benefit from a dramatic sense of space, characteristic of Huf Haus architecture. Sliding doors provide direct access to the terrace and pool area, creating a seamless connection between the interior and exterior spaces.

The well-appointed kitchen forms an integral part of the principal living space and is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the property's far-reaching views. Extensive glazing draws natural light into the room and frames the surrounding landscape, while a comprehensive range of fitted units and generous preparation space provide practicality for modern family living.

Completing this floor is a welcoming entrance hall with cloakroom facilities, a generous double bedroom and full shower room, thoughtfully positioned to provide flexible accommodation for guests, independent family members or a dedicated home office.

The second floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms, arranged around an open galleried landing that enhances the sense of light and space and overlooks the reception accommodation below. The principal bedroom suite enjoys a particularly striking setting, featuring floor-to-ceiling glazing and access to a private balcony overlooking the gardens.

The remaining three bedrooms are generously proportioned and served by a well-appointed family bathroom. Exposed timber framing and vaulted ceilings further enhance the property's distinctive architectural character. Two of the bedrooms enjoy access to a shared balcony overlooking the pool.

The property stands within approximately 1.325 acres of beautifully landscaped and well-established gardens, which wrap around the house and create a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity. Generous terraces are perfectly suited to outdoor entertaining and overlook the swimming pool, while mature trees and carefully planned planting create an attractive backdrop. The grounds also include a large shed with it's own power supply and a pool house with changing facilities.

The gardens enjoy a pleasing outlook across the surrounding countryside, complementing the architectural qualities of the house and enhancing its overall sense of tranquillity.

The Grange represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the UK's distinctive Huf Haus residences, combining internationally recognised architecture with extensive family accommodation in a highly desirable location.
