Description

This immaculate six bedroom property has been developed to a very high standard to create a contemporary country home with stylish interiors throughout. The house sits in about 1.4 acres of landscaped grounds and benefits from a separate leisure building with a swimming pool, sauna and gym.

The house has been interior designed in a modern classic style, incorporating natural materials including washed oak and Purbeck stone, and has been arranged to maximise natural light and views out to the garden with large Crittall style windows and doors throughout.

A gated entrance leads to the front of the house, which has been extensively landscaped with exterior lighting, creating a sense of arrival to this incredible property. There is plenty of parking on the gravelled driveway.

Steps lead up to the front door and into a spacious entrance hall, which has storage, a cloakroom and washed oak flooring that runs seamlessly throughout the property. From here, through a wide Crittall panel, is a view to the impressive vaulted drawing room, which has a central Portland stone fireplace with full height glazing either side overlooking the woodland garden. Two sets of French doors lead out to the terrace and there is a built in library style bookcase.

A real feature of this home is the open plan kitchen/dining/living space of approximately 33ft with lantern rooflight and three sets of Crittall style French doors, leading out to a large patio area with an outdoor fireplace. The kitchen showcases natural materials with washed oak and white shaker cabinetry, integrated appliances and a wide waterfall kitchen island with counter seating. There is space for a large dining table and relaxed seating, and connected to this area is a further sitting room with a dual-aspect and doors out to the garden, which could be open to the kitchen or separated off with double doors. Also adjacent to the kitchen is a separate utility room.

There are six bedrooms, four well-appointed shower rooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom has a seating area, French doors to the patio, a walk in dressing room and a luxurious en suite bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower. Two bedrooms have en suite shower rooms and a fourth is served by a family bathroom. Two additional bedrooms are located separately at the other side of the house and are accessed from a study with external patio doors off the kitchen/dining room. These bedrooms share a shower room and could be useful guest accommodation.

Outside, the property sits in a secluded plot of about 1.4 acres surrounded lush lawns, mature trees and shrubs. The grounds have been extensively landscaped featuring a wide paved terrace, with areas for al fresco dining and relaxed seating next to a beautiful outdoor fireplace.

A separate leisure building to the side of the house contains an amazing 40 ft heated swimming pool, with a separate changing room, sauna and gym, with wide bifold doors looking out to woodland views and three sets of French doors opening up to another terrace with space for seating and sun loungers.
