The Refectory

A modern semi-rural five bedroom home recently constructed on a generous plot, with expansive gardens, paddock, a triple garage and convenient setting to the west of a popular village.


Description

This modern country home was constructed in 2013 and is very well presented, built in a classic double-fronted style with attractive red brick elevations and a pretty oak-framed porch. The house is beautifully appointed to a high standard both inside and out, affording spacious rooms of generous proportions and a characterful feel with its exposed stone, wood detailing and neutral colour scheme which makes it feel like a more traditional country residence, despite its young vintage. The layout is particularly well suited to entertaining at home, with all three reception spaces opening off a welcoming entrance hall which is dominated by a feature staircase. The provision of both formal and informal sitting rooms also makes the house well equipped for daily family life. Outside there are landscaped grounds including lawned gardens, plus a paddock offering further opportunities as a smallholding if desired.

The accommodation is very spacious and extends to over 2600 sq ft, with high ceilings and generous proportions throughout. The entrance hall on the ground floor leads to a 24ft triple aspect sitting room, a separate snug with wood-burning stove, a cloakroom with w.c. and the main kitchen/dining room, which has two sets of French doors opening to the rear garden. There is also a useful adjoining utility room with a door to the outside. Upstairs, the wide landing provides access to four double bedrooms of equal size, a family bathroom and a storage cupboard. To the rear is the principal bedroom suite, which has an en suite shower room and pretty views to the rear over the gardens.

The property is set back from the road behind an attractive lawned front garden which wraps around the side of the house to the rear, where there is an expansive lawn enclosed by mature trees and hedging. The lawn backs onto open countryside and a small paddock, which could be used for chickens or other small animals. A paved terrace behind the house has ample space for garden furniture, while there is a vegetable garden with a marked plot and raised planters. To the front, a gravel driveway has space for several cars while there is additional parking within a detached double garage.
