DESCRIPTION
Designed for the current owners by renowned local architects, Anderson Orr, and built in 2008 by W G Carter, this stylish home is located on a private lane and extends to just under 3500 square feet (excluding double garage). It sits in delightful formal gardens of about an acre with an adjoining field of just under 9 acres. The total landholding extends to 10.14 acres.
The accommodation offers a blend of modern luxury and a timeless elegance with an emphasis on large, light and airy rooms designed to make the most of the views over the gardens and field. The ground floor has a large, well fitted kitchen/breakfast/family room with Siemens appliances to include three ovens and two built in fridges and adjacent utility room. Double sliding doors lead from the kitchen to a large sunroom/dining room. There is a double aspect sitting room and two other reception rooms adding to a degree of flexibility; one could be a fifth bedroom served by the ground floor shower room.
The first floor has a very generously sized double aspect principal bedroom suite with dressing area and ensuite, a double aspect guest bedroom with ensuite, two further double bedrooms and family bathroom.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
Set within stylish gardens of around 1 acre, the property boasts a hard tennis court and uninterrupted views over its own adjacent field of just under 9 acres. The formal garden is primarily laid to lawn with attractively planted borders featuring trees, shrubs, and perennials. It also includes fruit and ornamental trees and a kitchen garden. The gravel drive offers ample parking space for multiple cars. A generous double garage sits to one side of the house with twin electric doors and a part boarded loft space. Being double skinned there is the potential for conversion (subject to consents).
