4 Rutherford Gardens is an impressive modern house of excellent scale and proportion, designed with contemporary family living in mind. Extending to over 3,550 sq ft, the property offers elegant and versatile accommodation across two floors, complemented by landscaped gardens, a detached double garage and a peaceful setting just north of West Linton.
The house is finished to a high standard throughout, with light and spacious interiors, superb entertaining space, and direct connections to the garden and surrounding countryside.
Ground Floor
The welcoming reception hall provides access to the principal living areas. The heart of the home is the open plan kitchen, dining and family room, a stylish and flexible space designed for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with a range of sleek cabinetry, integrated appliances and a central island, with full-height glazing opening onto the terrace and garden.
A generous sitting room with huge windows enjoys views over the garden and woodland beyond. A separate snug offers a more intimate retreat, while a study/bedroom six provides flexibility for home working or guest use.
A practical utility room and shower room complete the ground floor accommodation.
First Floor
The principal bedroom suite is a superb space with fitted wardrobes, a luxurious en suite bathroom and access to a balcony overlooking the gardens.
There are four further double bedrooms, one with en suite shower room, and a well-appointed family bathroom.
Gardens and Grounds
The property sits within beautifully landscaped and thoughtfully designed grounds, created by a professional landscape gardener to provide year-round interest and colour. To the rear, a broad lawn is bordered by structured planting and framed by mature woodland, which provides both privacy and an idyllic green backdrop. An impressive terrace to the rear of the house, accessed directly from the kitchen and dining room, offering an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.
For families, an integrated play area includes a climbing frame and a ground-level built-in trampoline, seamlessly incorporated into the design of the garden. Beyond the main garden, a gate in the fence opens into a further area of private woodland, perfect for exploration and adventure.
To the front of the house, a second terrace is surrounded by beautifully planted beds, a sheltered spot that catches the afternoon sun. A private driveway provides ample parking and leads to the detached double garage and additional plant room.
