Striking Contemporary Home with Exceptional Views and Energy-Efficient Design

Description

Woldside is an exceptional contemporary home, individually designed and constructed to an exacting standard with a strong emphasis on sustainability and energy efficiency. The property benefits from solar PV panels, an air source heat pump, MVHR ventilation system and underfloor heating throughout. High quality finishes are evident throughout, including limestone flooring which flows seamlessly across the ground floor and extends via expansive glazing onto the wraparound terrace, enhancing the connection between the interior and outdoor spaces.

The heart of the house is a beautifully appointed open-plan kitchen, dining and living room, enjoying an abundance of natural light from three elevations.

Further practical features include extensive storage solutions and a useful utility/store room with external access.

A separate snug offers a versatile secondary reception room and could equally serve as a ground floor bedroom, supported by an adjacent shower room.

The reception hall provides an impressive introduction to the house, featuring a striking floating steel staircase with solid beech treads and glazed balustrading, illuminated by a large half-landing window.

The principal bedroom suite occupies a superb position on the first floor, with floor-to-ceiling glazing to two elevations and doors opening onto a private wraparound balcony enjoying far-reaching countryside views. The suite is complemented by a fully fitted dressing area and a luxurious en suite bathroom incorporating a freestanding bath, walk-in rainfall shower and bespoke vanity unit. There are three further double bedrooms, one with en suite facilities, in addition to a beautifully appointed family bathroom featuring both a freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower.

Electric aluminium sliding gates open onto a generous gravelled driveway providing ample parking and access to the integral garage with electric roller door.

The gardens and grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped to take full advantage of the property's elevated position and far-reaching views. A paved pathway surrounds the house, while external power and water supplies add practicality. The wraparound terrace provides excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining, complemented by well-maintained lawns and a sunken fire pit with built-in seating. Mature beech hedging encloses the boundaries, creating a high degree of privacy and an attractive natural setting.
