Description

We are extremely proud to present this exceptional four-bedroom country home. Retreat Farm combines distinctive architecture with beautifully presented interiors and far-reaching views across Thornton Reservoir and rolling countryside. Its striking stone elevations, turret-style entrance and expansive glazing create an impressive first impression, while exposed structural timbers, vaulted ceilings and carefully considered lighting lend warmth and character to the contemporary finish. The entrance hallway provides access to a WC and the magnificent open-plan living, dining and kitchen space. Generous glazing frames the rural outlook, creating a wonderfully light setting for everyday living and entertaining. Off the open-plan space is access to the cosy sitting room/snug, complete with log burner. A statement open-tread timber staircase with glass balustrading leads to the principal bedroom suite, where exposed roof timbers and expansive glazing create a distinctive retreat, complemented by a separate stylish bathroom. A sweeping staircase off the hallway leads down to the ground floor, where there is a further sitting room enjoying broad glazed doors opening onto the patio, alongside three additional bedrooms, two with en-suites, and a family bathroom. A utility room and an additional shower room lead through to the rear lobby, with stairs to a storage room above and a separate staircase descending to the gym and sauna room, adding a further touch of luxury. Outside, a generous wraparound balcony with glass balustrading offers an elevated setting for outdoor dining and enjoying the surrounding views. Below, an extensive wraparound paved patio incorporates a built-in chessboard and sunken hot tub, providing a choice of spaces for relaxation and entertaining. Lawns extend to the rear wall, with fencing to be installed to define the boundary. An in-out driveway offers ample space for multiple vehicles, and the farm is accessed by a private, gated road. A carefully considered specification complements the property’s refined interiors, with smart lighting throughout and discreet built-in speakers in the living areas creating an inviting setting for relaxation and entertaining. CCTV and an alarm security system provide an additional layer of security, while two air source heat pumps provide energy-efficient heating for the home.

Agents Notes

Retreat Farm is a working farm and livestock are kept within the surrounding land. Applicants should therefore be aware that farming activities may take place on parts of the wider holding from time to time. The fields beyond the property’s walled lawn, which will have a fenced boundary for clarity, are excluded from the tenancy and are used for grazing livestock. The hot tub will be provided empty. Use is at the tenants’ discretion, and tenants choosing to use it will be responsible for its maintenance and for taking appropriate measures to ensure their own safety and that of their guests. There is also a separate residential property located within the farmstead. This dwelling is entirely independent from Retreat Farm, however the two properties and the farm do share the same private access road.
