5 bedroom house

Originally a smaller cottage, the property has been substantially extended over recent years to provide a contemporary and stunning home; the current owners have created a property of great style with great attention having been paid to detail and modern day living requirements. There are enviable views to the front over the paddocks and beyond. A spacious hallway gives access to the principal reception rooms. The sitting room is a generous elegant room featuring a contemporary wood-burning stove and with bi-fold doors leading on to a generous elevated terrace with views over the wonderful grounds to the front. The kitchen boasts an extensive range of sleek units and a large central island as well as ample dining space. Miele appliances are integral, plus two Gaggenau ovens. The utility room offers a further range of complementary fitted cupboards.
The principal bedroom on the first floor offers a dressing area and a spacious en suite with freestanding bath and benefits from air conditioning and far reaching rural views. Two of the 4 further double bedrooms also enjoy en suite bathrooms with separate walk-in showers.
Outside

Approached via wooden electric gates off this picturesque lane, the sweeping driveway leads to a large parking area. The house is elevated, thereby affording wonderful views over the paddocks to the front. A variety of outbuildings include a double garage, a generous timber store room and a delightful shepherds hut with wood-burning stove and shower room (this currently serves as an ideal home office away from the house). Additionally the stable block provides 4 stables and 2 store rooms/wash down rooms. To the rear of the house is an enclosed rear garden and to the front a large terrace, the ideal spot to relax and enjoy the views over the paddocks to the front.
