The accommodation amounts to just over 2,400 sq. ft and is beautifully arranged with vast windows and glazed doors providing an abundance of light. The home is perfectly suited to both families and couples alike with five/six bedrooms and a home office/study. The home occupies a central location within the desirable village of East Knoyle, within easy reach of a great range of local amenities.
The front door opens onto a central lobby with the staircase rising to the first floor. Immediately to the left is a study and cloakroom. The remainder of the ground floor is open plan, a seamless and flexible space that is large enough for expansive entertaining while being easily zoned to provide more intimate and individual living areas. The sitting area is to the front with a focal point fireplace with log burning stove and is open through to the deeply impressive kitchen/dining area that spans the rear of the home. The updated, stylish kitchen is superbly appointed with granite work tops, high end integrated appliances and peninsula island/breakfast bar defining the kitchen area from the seating/dining areas. Positioned behind the kitchen is the large utility/laundry room and a separate boot room that gives access to the garden. Much of the living space opens onto the paved rear terrace and there is a real sense of bringing the outside in. Other particular features to note are the Amtico Signature stone flooring and bi-folding doors across the rear elevation.
The upstairs incorporates three double bedrooms and a single bedroom or second study. The principal bedroom has a generous range of storage and a modern en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom has an en-suite shower room/dressing room. The remaining bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom. On the second floor there is a further en-suite bedroom, an ideal guest suite, and a hobbies room or additional bedroom if needed. The top floor offers excellent versatility with a plethora of potential uses.
Outside
The gardens lie to the front and back and boast an excellent degree of privacy. To the front is a gated driveway that provides parking for several vehicles and gives access to the detached double garage that has a fully boarded loft, light and power and a useful adjoining log store. The hedged front garden is designed with ease of maintenance in mind and is predominantly laid to lawn with a seating area perfectly placed to enjoy the westerly sunshine. There is an electric car charging point. At the rear, the garden enjoys uninterrupted views over the adjoining open farmland. The expansive rear terrace is the ideal al-fresco entertaining and dining area, a partial glass roofed veranda ensures comfortable use all year around with IR heating and atmospheric lighting. Beyond there is an area of lawn that is flanked by established floral beds and borders, ornamental trees and shrubs give height and texture. There is a small kitchen garden with vegetable beds and a greenhouse. A second seating area which is set to the side of the home offers quiet, private outdoor space.
