The site
The house is an architecturally designed home with a sweeping avenue, set against a raised lawn with mature planting on either side.
The avenue has recently been re-surfaced with smooth SMA tarmacadam and leads to a view of the house with its? crisp architectural zinc outline visible through the trees. Generous parking extends across the front and to the left-hand side of the home, ensuring ample space for multiple vehicles.
The residence is set on an expansive site comprising 1 acre of grounds, and its? mature landscaping offers both beauty, exceptional seclusion and privacy.
A second access point is located at the rear of the property, providing convenient entry and exit options, but also providing Development Potential with separate access on the lower garden area (subject to Planning Permission).
The garden's vast expanse includes contrasting specimens of beautifully matured trees, colourful plants and meandering pathways through the contoured gardens.
The property
New granite paving and steps have been installed at the front entrance to the house. The entrance lobby is finished in a warm solid parquet timber flooring.
From here you enter a double height volume light filled entrance hall with floor to ceiling glazing at both levels. The original Mid Century style open staircase allows light to flush through the Entrance Hall unimpeded.
Bespoke double doors lead from the entrance hall into a stunning open plan space. This vast room combines a dining room, a separate sitting room, a cosy snug, and an integrated conservatory.
The elevated dining area is an elegant space designed for both relaxed family dining and larger formal gatherings. This room can accommodate more than 20 guests comfortably.
The room is split level, and steps down from the dining area to the Sitting Room, which offers raised glazed views over the landscaped gardens below.
A centrally positioned high efficiency raised insert stove, together with a contemporary polished black granite surround, adds warmth and ambiance. In addition to the central heating system, the insert stove naturally heats the surrounding mass concrete and releases the heat slowly over an extended period. This, together with the South Facing glazed orientation which absorbs maximum heat gain in winter months, but which is protected by the natural tree canopy in summer months, provides a naturally warm house.
One end of the sitting room leads to an integrated conservatory with large glazed double doors that open onto the South facing patio and garden. The other end of the Sitting Room behind the fireplace leads to a cozy snug room (or Playroom) that offers a more intimate setting for relaxation.

The Dining Room is located immediately adjacent to the spacious kitchen, the design of which is both functional and stylish. It boasts built in units and a breakfast bar that provides the perfect spot for family dining or morning coffee. Adjacent to the kitchen is a large utility room, offering ample space for laundry, additional storage units, cloaks, etc. This area provides direct access to ?the Winter Room?, a polycarbonate roofed warm room area with indoor clothesline and utility shelving. Off this room is a second ground floor WC and beyond that is a large, sheltered car port.
A ground-floor double sized bedroom, complete with separate ensuite, offers a fifth double bedroom. This room was originally designed as a home office and adds to the practicality and versatility of the home, offering a comfortable space for guests, as a private retreat, or an invaluable large office space with fibre optic connectivity for those working from home.
A full width half landing is located on the stairs to the first floor, and the floor-to-ceiling window on the landing flushes the area below with natural light.
There are four large double bedrooms on the first floor, each offering ample space and significant built-in wardrobe space. The master bedroom with its deep pile carpets, boasts a walk-in wardrobe and a private ensuite bathroom.
The second master bedroom is vast in size and offers floor to ceiling wardrobes which are backlit, glazing facing the rear garden, and a large beautiful rooflight looking out over the treetops.
The third and Fourth bedrooms on the first floor are also large double bedrooms, again with significant floor to ceiling wardrobes and large glazing overlooking the gardens. The family bathroom is a spacious room with a new Rocca cantilevered bathroom unit, bath and enclosed shower.
There is access to vast storage in the loft through a door behind the walk-in wardrobe and to the main loft through a Stira type access over the bathroom.
This residence offers a harmonious blend of comfort, style, and practicality, all within a setting that provides both privacy and connection to the surrounding natural beauty. The thoughtful design and spacious layout make it an ideal home for those seeking a blend of modern living and timeless elegance.
