This individual, newly built property features timber cladding in a barn style and is situated on approximately 0.3 acres of a secluded garden.
A striking feature of the property is a bridge walkway that leads to a decked sun terrace designed for entertaining. The upper bridge and balcony provide shade, while stair paths connect the lower terrace to the garden and main entertaining space.
Bi-fold doors open from the living area to the outside with the entire space maintaining a strong connection to the surrounding garden with plenty of light. The reception lounge boasts high ceilings, a prominent window, and an exposed brick feature wall, which includes a mezzanine glass balcony. The ground floor is adorned with composite Moonstone flooring and underfloor heating.
The kitchen is designed in a contemporary style and features built-in units, appliances, and quartz worktops. A spacious central island, which includes a wine chiller, sink, and mixer tap, separates the kitchen from the living area. Additionally, a separate utility room and cloakroom are discreetly located to the side of the hallway.
Upstairs, the mezzanine area functions as an office or workout space, leading to a double bedroom featuring a Juliet balcony and an en-suite bathroom that overlooks the wooded area. Ample eaves storage is also available.
On the lower floor the cleverly designed layout ensures rooms remain comfortable throughout the year. The principal bedroom includes a walk-in dressing area and patio doors leading to a lower terrace shared with two additional double bedrooms. Each of these rooms has en-suite facilities, and the bathrooms are equipped with Rainmaker shower fittings.
The wraparound garden and grounds are accessible from the private lane via a shingle driveway that provides ample parking. At the front of the property, there is a lawn area surrounded by sloping terraces. Mature trees and hedging enhance the feeling of seclusion and privacy and there is a shed providing good storage.
The triple garage with power includes a separate flexible annex above with ensuite bathroom facilities, ideal for use as a home office, guest accommodation, or for teenage children.
