Tucked away in picturesque countryside close to Haldon Forest, sits this captivating and serene haven. It has been beautifully designed to maximise natural light and to make the most of the stunning elevated views of the surrounding rural landscape.
The front door opens to reveal a spacious and well organised entrance vestibule with space for seating and a large storage cupboard.
The main living area is a striking open plan triple aspect room with large expanses of glazing and trifold doors, allowing panoramic views of the garden and the countryside beyond. The room is cleverly divided into several seating areas which make the most of these vantage points. A statement wood burner with front and side windows is positioned where these three zones converge, allowing all areas of this expansive room to enjoy its warmth and cosiness. A tall recessed log store provides an attractive and practical backdrop.
The sunroom boasts floor-to-ceiling glazing, flooding the space with natural light and blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. An ingeniously positioned pergola provides a pretty frame to this view whilst providing some shade to both the sunroom and the terrace, which can be accessed from this room. Stylish recessed shelving provides a perfect place to display favoured items.
The dual aspect open plan kitchen and dining room is perfectly laid out for harmonious meal times, with plenty of space for a large dining table and chairs, and room for additional seating with a view out of the French doors. The high-quality kitchen has elegant marble worktops and upstands and a range of thoughtfully chosen integrated appliances. There is an induction hob with an overhead extractor, two Neff slide and hide ovens, Qettle hot tap and filtered chilled water tap, an integrated dishwasher, microwave, fridge, freezer, wine cooler and additional recessed wine storage.
Off the kitchen is a large utility room with ample storage, a sink, and space and plumbing for a washing machine and a drier. There is also a door to the rear garden and a convenient downstairs cloakroom.
The contemporary glass and oak staircase provide plentiful storage with bespoke pull-out cupboards built in beneath. A partially glassed roof allows sunlight to flood the upper floor and filter down through the centre of the property, unobstructed by the glass balustrade.
The first-floor landing presents an incredible standout feature, with the galleried landing providing a view of the sunroom below and an elevated view of the sky and rear garden. A sofa here provides the perfect spot to relax and to take in the breathtaking views.
The spacious master bedroom is another stunning room, with high ceilings and a wall of windows which together create a striking glazed arch, with the central window extending to the floor. The incredible attention to detail is evident with the bespoke shutters and large built-in wardrobe which has three layers of doors, revealing a concealed full-length mirror. The wardrobes are extra deep providing an incredible amount of storage.
To the side of the room, sliding screens open to reveal a freestanding bath located beneath an arched window.
Bedroom two and three are great sized rooms with a Velux window and built in wardrobes, which have eaves storage behind.
Also located on this floor is a spacious and stylish shower room and WC with a countertop sink and a backlit mirror located between the two obscured windows.
Outside:
The gardens wrap around the property, with a large block paved driveway providing parking for several vehicles and a large workshop with log and bin store to the side. There is also a level lawn at the front of the property.
Mature shrubs and trees create a secluded area to the side of the property, which is easily accessed via the trifold doors opening from the main sitting room. This area has been paved, perfect for additional seating.
The pretty rear garden is laid to lawn with many mature shrubs and trees providing privacy. Brick and tiled steps lead down to the sun terrace, which is accessed via the sunroom, dining room and the utility room.
To the other side of the property is another elevated tiled area, which could be a lovely location for further seating, as this area also enjoys far-reaching elevated views.
