A stunning contemporary country house in excess of 6,700 square feet near to the popular and thriving countryside town of Bruton.
Description
Creech House is a fine contemporary country house set in rolling countryside, close to the sought after town of Bruton, with its total of seven schools, including Kings Bruton, Sexey’s, and Bruton School for girls. Bruton caters for all age groups with great restaurants, art galleries and boutiques, and is fast becoming the go-to town for city dwellers looking to move to the countryside, but with all the amenities.
The design brief for local award-winning Chartered Architects, Della Valle, was to create a country house by extending and upgrading the original Edwardian Dower House, retaining a traditional style, using local materials such as Blue Lias, Doulting Ashlar and Welsh Slate for the external finishes. Internally, the brief was to design flexible open-plan living spaces with lots of natural light, while also creating a low maintenance, low energy home, embracing high-tech systems, using high quality materials & finishes. The house offers superb entertaining, leisure and living spaces, with the outdoor terraces having uninterrupted views of Cranmore Chase and the surrounding farmland.
The accommodation is beautifully presented and the proportions are superb. Upon entering there is a spacious entrance lobby, that in turn leads into the stunning kitchen, dining and informal living area. There is an L-shaped lounge that opens into a spectacular kitchen/dining room. It has a fully glazed rear elevation, vaulted ceiling, exceptional proportions and ceramic floor that combine to give a tremendous feeling of space and light. A bespoke kitchen with striking contemporary units sits at the heart of the room. Towards the front of the house is a comfortable sitting area and to the rear is a superb dining space with bi-folding doors on two elevations that lead into the rear garden.
A separate gym also overlooks the rear garden with bi-folding doors providing access to the garden. This room could easily provide a further sitting room. Also of particular note is the stunning dual aspect drawing room that has large bi-fold doors on both elevations leading into the garden. There is a striking contemporary fireplace with wood-burning stove that sits at the focal point of this magnificent entertaining space. Also on the ground floor is a cinema room, lobby, spacious utility room and plant room. There are two separate WC’s and in addition to this there is a ground floor bedroom (8) with en suite shower room.
On the first floor is a luxurious master suite with dressing room and stunning en suite bathroom. There are Juliet balconies off both rooms that take in superb views. There are six further bedrooms (two en suite) and a family bathroom.
OUTSIDE
The property is approached via electric gates that lead into a generous parking area for several vehicles. There is a triple garage with automated doors and underfloor heating. There is an enclosed level garden that is mainly laid to lawn to the rear of the house backing onto neighbouring farm land and overlooking the rolling Somerset countryside.
