4 bedroom house

Completed in 2018 Elsworth Court is a handsome modern family house in an unspoilt countryside setting with allround, far-reaching views. The house has been designed to be energy efficient with extremely high levels of insulation, including ground source heating system and triple glazed windows and doors that protect against heat loss whilst maximising the ingress of natural light and optimising views of the surrounding countryside. The ground floor is faced with local Purbeck stone and the first floor with Canadian red cedarwood that has mellowed to shade of silver. Internally the house has been finished to a high standard with a focus on the use of adaptable technology connected by Cat8 network cabling. Limestone flooring extends throughout the entire ground floor, which combined with light oak joinery and natural light creates a modern feel which is both uncluttered and light and airy. The reception hall is at the centre of the house with an oak and glass staircase on one side and doors off to all the ground floor rooms. On one side are the sitting room which has windows on two sides including two glazed doors opening to the garden and a Bath stone fireplace fitted with a wood burning stove and the adjacent study. On the other side of the hall is the kitchen/dining room which has windows on three sides looking out across the property's grounds to the lovely hillside view beyond and has sufficient room for a separate seating area with a glazed door opening onto the terrace. It is fully fitted with a range of units including a central island, granite work surfaces and electrical appliances including a 5-ring induction hob and two Neff ovens. Above the kitchen on the first floor are the principal bedroom which has wonderful views, an en suite shower room and large walk-in wardrobe. Also on the first floor are the guest bedroom with en suite shower room, further double bedroom, good-sized single bedroom and family bathroom with separate shower.

Elsworth Court is set back about 50 yards off a quiet country lane and is approached through electrically operated solid timber gates set between gate piers with a gravelled drive leading to a large parking and turning area in front of the house with space for several cars. The house is currently set within 4.2 acres of pasture bounded by mature field hedging. Currently the house is surrounded by lawn and several newly planted specimen and fruit trees. Paved terraces extend out from the kitchen/dining room and the sitting room. Behind the house is an ornamental kitchen garden comprised of several raised vegetable/soft fruit beds surrounding a central herb bed.
Utilities have already been pre-laid in anticipation of building a garage block with workshop and gardener's WC and a separate summer house/home office. In all the garden and grounds extend to about 4.2 acres (2.85 hectares).
