Hawthorne House

Constructed in 2003, Hawthorne House is a beautiful family home built in a traditional style and effortlessly blends classic features with modern fixtures and fittings.

The sizeable and flexible accommodation works well, having a spacious entrance hall, triple aspect drawing room with an open fireplace and double doors opening out to the rear, triple aspect sitting room and a further family room/study. Special mention must go to the open plan kitchen/breakfast room; an immaculate light and spacious kitchen with a great range of bespoke fitted units beneath a granite worktop, Electric Aga, a central island with space for a large dining table and doors opening out on to the rear patio. It is clear to see this kitchen lends itself exceptionally well to entertaining. The ground floor is complemented further via a cloakroom and utility.

The first floor has a beautiful principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom and dressing area, and three further double bedrooms all of which are en suite. The second floor comprises two double bedrooms and a shower room and has the most desirable of views over the rolling countryside to the rear.

The property is accessed via a gated entrance leading to a gravelled driveway with plenty of parking and access to the triple garage. The triple garage also has the benefit of a workshop and cloakroom. Outside steps lead to the games room/ancillary accommodation above.

The formal gardens to Hawthorne House are beautiful and private, well-stocked with a range of mature trees, shrubs and herbaceous borders. There is a large lawn area and several private patio areas. A heated swimming pool with a paddock beyond complements this family home greatly. The paddock is enclosed by post and rail fencing with access from the stable block which is located to the rear of the garaging. The stable block is of timber construction with three stables and a tack room.
