Stylishly presented both outside and in, this handsome property has been finished with fine attention to detail including Ash door joinery, oak flooring, and a central staircase with oak balustrades. Entered through a welcoming reception hallway with bespoke wood framed double doors, a hall opens either side to two spacious reception rooms: a sitting room with a large bay window to the front (which could be utilised as a bedroom), and a living room to the rear with French doors opening onto a sun terrace. The contemporary kitchen with windows overlooking the garden and view has a large roof light cascading natural light over the room and is fitted with a good range of cabinets throughout. The kitchen opens into a sun room which has a vaulted ceiling, an oak floor, and full height doors and windows to the garden. From the sun room, a door opens into a useful utility room which leads into a spa room. A great addition to this home, the spa is fitted with a jacuzzi hot tub and shower enclosure. To the first floor there are three bedrooms, the principal bedroom with large bay window having an en-suite shower room. The two other bedrooms are served by a four piece family bathroom with roll top bath, as well as a cloakroom to the ground floor. A staircase leads from the landing to the loft which is currently being used a double bedroom. Buyers are advised that consent was not sought for this conversion. The outside areas are a huge feature of this handsome home. Thoughtfully landscaped to both front and rear, the gardens afford breath-taking views over the countryside and the design which has been lavished on the interior has been transposed to the gardens with individual spaces created around the garden. The large, decked sun terrace is enclosed by a blend of glass and stainless steel providing a great spot to dine outside and entertain whilst overlooking a garden bar area with gazebo seating and steps to a lower lawned area. For car enthusiasts, there is a double garage and plenty of parking.
