4 bedroom house

Downland House is a beautifully presented, individually designed, contemporary home with spacious rooms. Decorated in muted, stylish colours creating a Scandinavian feel to the property.
The glass fronted entrance hall provides a bright welcoming area with views through to the garden beyond. The accommodation opens from here to a galleried dining room and triple aspect living room with a wood burning stove and vaulted ceiling. Both these rooms have views and double doors to the terrace and garden. The dining room leads to a large kitchen/breakfast room with a range of cupboards and storage, modern fittings and appliances. There is also a utility room and boot room with a door to the outside. Connecting the kitchen to the hall is a cosy family/snug room. Also on the ground floor is a large double bedroom with en suite bathroom, and steps leading down to the games/entertainment room which has French doors to the courtyard.

Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to the substantial, double aspect principal bedroom which has an en suite bathroom. Also on this level is a guest bedroom which links to a large walk-in storage area (with potential to convert to an en suite). A second staircase leads to a further bedroom, shower room, kitchenette and gym. This area, along with the games room below, offers potential as a self-contained annexe.

The property is approached through double five bar wooden gates, via a gently sloping gravel drive alongside a lawn, to a parking area and double garage. Steps lead to a courtyard and the front door. At the back of the house is a large private garden which is mainly laid to lawn with a variety of mature shrubs, hedges and flower beds. Immediately to the rear of the house is a stone patio with steps up to the lawn and a secluded sun terrace.
