5 bedroom house

This charming and substantial house was virtually re-built by the current owner in 2013. They set about planning and honing their dream home – a timeless and classic, New England style house. They wanted large open rooms filled with light for their growing family and also wanted to make the most of the wonderful position, opposite open pasture land allowing for great views.
They have achieved their goal, as the house has a number of unique architectural features such as open, vaulted rooms with ample glazing and a wonderful outdoor veranda with open fire and generous seating area.
The accommodation is well planned with 4228 sq ft overall and a near perfect layout allowing for the family to have large gatherings in rooms such as the family room and games room, as well each member of the family having their own spaces, from twin studies to a media room and bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. The heart of the home is centred on the kitchen/breakfast room. A spectacular room with ample space for the fully fitted kitchen, complete with central island, as well as zones for dining and sitting. The kitchen is backed up by a walk in pantry, boot room and utility room – complete with laundry chute. This is also a great house for social occasions with an entire wing given over to entertaining and complete with games room and the first floor family room, which flows onto the terrace to enjoy both the south facing aspect and wonderful views.
The first floor has five generous bedrooms and four bathrooms, all of which enjoy good views of either the farmland adjacent or the mature private gardens.
Outside

Automated gated access provides security to the large plot of just over 1 acre. There is a driveway with ample parking as well as a double carport.
The plot benefits from mature trees on the boundary and two areas of lawn. The house has been designed to make the most of the southerly aspect, with the covered veranda and patio area overlooking the pond and raised lawn.
