Five bedroom modern built executive property with an excellent range of agricultural buildings, grazing and arable land extending to 12.38 Hectares (30.6 Acres) ideally suited to equestrian use, in an rural yet accessible location.
Garden House
Garden House is a beautifully presented executive property which was built in 2008 and boasts spacious and flexible living accommodation. Having land and an extensive range of outbuildings which are easily convertable to equestrian use (subject to the necessary consents), the property is ideal for those with equestrian interests.
Entering the property through the front door with decorative stained glass insert there is an entrance vestibule with black and white marble tiled floor and wood panelling to the walls. A door opens to the central inner hall which has oak effect flooring and doors radiating to the ground floor living accommodation and stairs rising to the first floor with useful under stair storage cupboard. Here there is a ground floor WC with wash hand basin.
Double doors open from the inner hall to the well-proportioned, sitting room which is filled with natural light having a sash effect window to the front elevation and French doors to the rear which open to the patio. A Stovax multifuel stove sits upon a black tiled hearth with a black surround and brick slip insert. The room benefits from underfloor heating and has all connectivity points installed.
Returning to the inner hallway a second reception room lies to the right of the property having a window to the front of the property. This room also benefits from underfloor heating and would lend itself to being used as an additional living room, study or play room.
The large, living-kitchen lies to the rear of the property with a step down from the inner hallway and has a stylish and practical flagstone floor and solid oak wall and base units including pantry style cupboards and an integrated dishwasher which are complemented by a granite worktop. There is a cream, electric Aga with additional electric module oven which warms the space in winter months but can be isolated for summer when you can rely on the separate module oven for cooking. A brick bond Travertine splashback is set behind the Aga and a traditional wooden mantle is a characterful finishing touch. There is a Belfast sink and space for a freestanding fridge/freezer. An island provides further work space with oak work top and incorporates useful shelving and wine rack. The kitchen has windows to 3 aspects with views to two sides of the property and to the rear through the large bay window. French doors open to the patio area at the side. Underfloor heating, recently serviced and upgraded also runs through this room.
From the kitchen a door opens to the utility room where the flagstone flooring continues from the kitchen and oak base units with Belfast sink and undercounter space and plumbing for a washing machine have been fitted. There is further storage in the cream wall mounted units and space for a tumble dryer. A door from the utility provides external access to the side and rear of the property.
To the first floor the spacious landing provides access to three bedrooms, the family bathroom and has stairs rising to the second floor.
The master suite lies at the rear of the property being a spacious double bedroom with a dual aspect enjoying views to the rear and side of the property. The bedroom boasts a walk-in dressing room with a window to the side elevation of the property and an en suite shower room comprising large wet room style double shower with mains-fed, fixed, rainfall shower with hand held attachment, WC, wash hand basin and heated towel rail. The room is fully tiled with Travertine-effect, porcelain tiles and a bespoke, built-in storage unit provides shelving for towels and cupboard space.
The second bedroom is another excellent sized double bedroom with a dual aspect to the front towards the tree canopy and to the rear over the gardens and on to the countryside beyond. The room has the required connectivity points. The third bedroom is another double bedroom, positioned at the front of the property.
The family bathroom includes an impressive Sottini freestanding roll top bath, large Showerluxe mains fed shower, WC and wash hand basin. The room is fully tiled with porcelain tiles and a natural, Travertine border and has a frosted window to the side elevation of the property.
To the second floor a fourth double bedroom lies in the eaves at the rear of the property with a gable window and four Velux windows that flood the room with natural light. The room has TV and BT points. The bedroom has the benefit of a dressing room area with dormer window and an en suite shower room with shower, WC and wash hand basin together with extensive eaves storage.
Another double bedroom with views through a dormer window to the front garden and tree canopy is located across the landing.
Externally the garden includes a wooden potting shed, a patio area to the side of the property and a lawned garden with mature shrubbery and trees. A well planted front garden separates the house from its parking area which comfortably accommodates two large cars.
