Tucked away in a peaceful woodland setting, this truly distinctive home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy privacy, beauty, and craftsmanship in perfect harmony. Designed by respected local architect Roderick James, celebrated for his blend of contemporary design and traditional timber framing, the property showcases exceptional attention to detail throughout.

Often described as a “Twitcher’s Paradise,” the surrounding woodland attracts a rich variety of birdlife, including Bullfinch, Chaffinch, Blue Tit and many more. The result is an ever-changing natural backdrop, where birdsong provides a calming soundtrack from dawn to dusk.

The main house has been thoughtfully arranged to create a warm and functional living space. It features a welcoming lounge, a stylish modern kitchen, two comfortable mezzanine bedrooms, a well-appointed bathroom, and practical storage throughout. The oak-framed structure, complemented by larch cladding, gives the home a timeless, rustic character that blends beautifully with its natural surroundings.

Enhancing the appeal further is a separate log cabin, offering excellent versatility. Whether used as a home office, guest accommodation, or a relaxing summer retreat, it provides additional space to suit a variety of lifestyles.

Set within approximately 0.55 of an acre of mature woodland, the property also offers a sustainable edge, with the log burner complementing the home’s character. It’s an ideal setting for those seeking a more self-sufficient way of life without compromising on comfort.

This is a rare chance to own an architect-designed woodland sanctuary that perfectly balances luxury living with the tranquillity of nature. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this exceptional home has to offer.
