What the Owners Say: It would be easy to run out of superlatives for this simply stunning and extensive residence located in an enclave of noteworthy and individually designed detached properties, surrounded by countryside on the outskirts of Woodnesborough. Whether you are looking for an amazing permanent family home or an easy to maintain weekend and holiday retreat with the ultimate in leisure facilities, this place has it all. Built about nine years ago by a property developer as his own family home, you know that it will be something really special and of the highest quality and this is evident from the moment you see the grandeur of the exterior. There is an impressive entrance with a Palladian style pillared porch with a contemporary front door, which opens into the welcoming and partially double height reception hall that includes an oak and glass staircase leading to the galleried landing. There is a cloakroom with an amazing funnel shaped circular basin and zoned underfloor heating that flows throughout the building and Karndean flooring that continues into much of the ground floor accommodation. The stunning bespoke dual aspect kitchen/dining room was designed and installed by the illustrious Humphrey Munson Kitchens about three years ago and it is a dream for anyone who enjoys catering and entertaining as well as being a centrepiece for family get togethers. It includes porcelain floor tiles and handcrafted units with quartz worktops housing a Miele induction hob, double oven, combi microwave and steam oven and Sub Zero larder fridge and matching freezer as well as a full height wine cooler with varied temperature levels and a second fridge. There is also a sink with a Quooker tap and a central island breakfast/bar with a food preparation area and a second sink. A wide archway to the light and bright dining area provides an open plan feel. It includes two sets of French doors to the rear terrace and it is large enough to entertain up to 20 guests and includes glass doors to the delightful dual aspect sitting room that has an inset TV screen, a modern raised electric fire, French doors to the terrace and double doors to the hall. There is also access to an internal leisure complex that includes a spa/indoor pool and a Jacuzzi as well as a fabulous three metre aquarium. You will also find changing facilities and a shower room as well as a spacious dual aspect well-equipped gym with two sets of French doors to the garden and a seating area. At the other end of the dining area there is access to a superb wine store corridor that leads to another leisure complex that includes a delightful cinema room designed by a specialist cinema company and features surround sound, a projector and screen. A sound proofed door leads to an impressive games room with a wall of glass incorporating ‘invisible’ glass doors to the large double garage. It has porcelain tiled flooring, automatic garage doors and a fitted tool cupboard, but is currently in use as an office and a second games room large enough for full sized snooker table. There are also storage cupboards, a cloakroom and fitted utility room with laundry facilities and a secondary staircase to a large room with a partially vaulted ceiling. This could be a great bedroom/playroom for a teenager or could be an excellent office for those working from home as they would not be disturbed by activities in the rest of the house. The main staircase leads to a spacious landing with double storage cupboards and an attractive family bathroom with a stand-alone slipper bath and a trendy vanity basin. The principal suite includes a fabulous ensuite bathroom with a stand-alone oval bath, a double walk-in shower and a beautiful basin, while another bedroom is currently designed as a well-fitted dressing room. There is also a large double bedroom and a double guest room with an en suite shower and walk in wardrobe. Outside there is a virtually maintenance free but spacious and secluded garden that continues the ‘leisure and pleasure’ theme. A vast Indian sandstone terrace with attractive water features is ideal for outdoor parties and barbecues. It leads down to a magnificent granite lower seating area with a central firepit bordered by a large artificial lawn surrounded by a laurel hedge providing privacy and security. A pathway leads to a fascinating curved summer house with lighting, electrics and heating as well as a decked terrace with a glass covered fishpond and a ‘cricket pitch’ sized strip of artificial grass that could also make a great bowling green. At the side of the property there is a large parking area for numerous vehicles.
