Description

Larkrise is a beautifully presented family home, built to a high specification in 2017 by Clarendon Homes and and benefitting from the remainder of an NHBC warranty. The house forms part of a private gated development of just five residences in an AONB, and offers spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over four floors with wonderful southerly views.

The principal reception rooms are arranged over the ground and garden levels and are ideal spaces for formal entertaining and family living. To the ground floor is a dining room and a sitting room with fireplace; both opening onto the south facing balcony. To the garden level is an excellent gym/games room, study and bar/garden room: all with bi-fold doors opening to the rear terrace. There is also a cinema room.

The kitchen/breakfast room, which was extended in 2022, is a light and airy space, has a dual aspect and vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers and skylights. The Burnhill kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, a generous island with breakfast bar, integrated appliances and space for an American style fridge freezer.

A utility room, boot room and cloakroom are arranged over the remainder of the ground floor, and there is a further cloakroom and the plant room to the garden level.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom has a balcony with far reaching views, a bank of fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. There are three further bedrooms to this floor, one with en suite shower room, all with fitted storage and served by a family bathroom.

To the second floor, a bedroom suite incorporates a dressing room and en suite shower room, and completes the internal accommodation.

The house is approached via electric gates and a bonded gravel driveway, providing ample parking for several vehicles and leads to the detached double garage. There are low level shrub borders by the house and hedging to the front and side perimeters.

To the rear, is a paved terrace providing an ideal area for al fresco entertaining together with the attractive balcony, which can be accessed from the house or a staircase from the garden. The garden is principally laid to lawn with a further sun terrace incorporating a swim spa and in total amounts to about 0.3 acres.

A pedestrian gate to the rear of the garden with hedging either side, separates the garden from the delightful communal garden, which has a variety of trees and is a wonderful additional outside space amounting to about 1.76 acres.
