Description

Sawyers is a truly outstanding contemporary residence offering generous and versatile accommodation over four floors, all beautifully designed to make the most of natural light, open space, and far-reaching views. The property is approached via a private drive with ample parking for several vehicles, including an electric car charging point.

Upon entering, one is immediately welcomed into a striking hexagonal entrance hall, naturally illuminated by an overhead atrium. This stunning space provides access to four of the home's five bedrooms. A single bedroom with built-in wardrobes and views to the front lies to the right, adjacent to a guest cloakroom. Also to the right is a well-proportioned double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room, offering ideal guest accommodation in a calm, neutral palette.

Two further double bedrooms are situated further along the hallway, both featuring en suite facilities and bespoke fitted wardrobes. One includes a bath, adding to the luxurious feel. Each bedroom is thoughtfully designed, offering a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. At the far end of the hallway, a full-height glass gable wall frames magnificent views over the surrounding countryside, a dramatic backdrop to the mezzanine level, which offers a superb and versatile second reception area.

From here, a central staircase leads to the expansive lower-ground floor, the heart of the home. This open-plan living area has been designed with entertaining in mind. The award-winning kitchen features sleek dark grey cabinetry with solid wood worktops, a central island with integrated hob and hidden extractor, and high-quality electric ovens. A hidden pull-out charging station adds a touch of modern convenience. There is generous storage, including glass-fronted display cabinets, and the floor-to-ceiling glazing creates a stunning connection with the outside, offering uninterrupted rural views.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a spacious larder, perfect for additional storage, while a large utility room provides space for laundry appliances and direct access to the side of the property. A downstairs cloakroom and dedicated boiler room, complete with hot water tank and central vacuum system, complete this level.

The principal reception room lies opposite the kitchen and is a wonderfully inviting space, featuring wooden flooring, bespoke shelving, and a log-burning stove cleverly elevated above a built-in log store. The gable-end glazing floods the room with morning light, making it an ideal spot to relax or read. From here, an open walkway leads into a more intimate snug, decorated in deeper tones and fully carpeted, providing a cosy retreat.

The upper floor is dedicated to an exceptional principal suite, accessed via a bespoke glass-panelled stairwell. With panoramic views through the glass gable, this space exudes a sense of tranquillity and seclusion. A private balcony offers a picturesque vantage point, while the suite itself features Velux windows, a freestanding bath positioned to take in the view, and ample space for a king-size bed and furnishings. Behind the bath, the elegant en suite includes a large walk-in shower, hand basin, and WC. A bespoke dressing area lined with fitted wardrobes provides excellent storage while maintaining the calm, uncluttered aesthetic of the space.

Secondary accommodation is found at the basement level, a flexible room accessed via external patio doors. With generous proportions and natural light, this area lends itself to a variety of uses including a home gym or cinema room, subject to any necessary consents.

Outside, the rear garden has been landscaped for both entertaining and family life. A large decked terrace spans the width of the property and features integrated seating areas and a built-in pizza oven—perfect for summer evenings. The remainder of the garden is laid to lawn, offering space for children to play, or for creating vegetable patches or a wildflower garden. Mature fir trees at the boundary provide excellent privacy, and a garage beneath the upper garden tier offers further storage or workshop potential.

Sawyers presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a thoughtfully designed, beautifully appointed modern home in an idyllic setting. Its combination of architectural flair, high-specification interiors, and outstanding views make it a rare gem for those seeking space, light, and style in equal measure.
