Completed in 2015 to an exacting standard and covered by an NHBC Warranty, the property boasts exceptional eco credentials, including Solar PV and Solar Thermal systems.
Approached via a private driveway of around 185 metres, the house features elegant granite elevations and extends to approximately 1,948 sq ft.

A double-sided granite Stovax wood burner provides a sophisticated focal point. Folding doors on the west side open onto a sun-soaked patio while French doors lead seamlessly into the 35 sq metre orangery. A snug provides versatile space and could easily function as a fourth bedroom. Additional ground floor accommodation includes a practical utility room.
The principal bedroom suite on the first floor is dual aspect, with French doors opening onto a generous balcony overlooking the gardens and surrounding countryside. It is complemented by a sleek ensuite shower room with walk-in shower, wash basin and WC. Two further double bedrooms overlook the garden and countryside and benefit from a shared family bathroom featuring a spa bath, shower cubicle, wash hand basin, and WC.

The Outside

A five-bar gate opens onto a long, private driveway leading to a level, brick-paved parking area offering abundant space for multiple vehicles, including a motorhome or horsebox. A substantial double garage and workshop, complete with an office space above, presents exceptional potential for conversion into additional living accommodation or a self-contained dwelling, subject to the necessary consents. This versatile space is ideal for a home office, creative studio, or secondary accommodation.

The grounds are exquisitely designed, with expansive terraces adjoining the house, featuring a built-in barbecue, pizza oven and hot tub, perfect for al-fresco entertaining. Formal gardens, richly planted with mature trees and shrubs, provide a private and sheltered oasis. Beyond the immediate gardens, the land supports a well-established smallholding, historically home to pigs, turkeys, chickens, and goats, alongside a large polytunnel for fruit and vegetable cultivation. There is also an outdoor music studio, and a hobby lodge included in the grounds.
