Entering through a large contemporary front door with floor-to-ceiling double-glazed windows on either side, you come into the magnificent reception hall with its high vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and gallery landing. Beautiful flagstone flooring complements the exquisite décor, and double-glazed French doors to the rear, overlooking the terraces and gardens beyond, allow natural light to flood through this entire space. There is also a superb range of built-in understairs storage cupboards. Leading off the reception hall to the left is the first of two exceptional reception rooms. Cleverly divided into two separate spaces with original vertical feature beams, this delightful area has been fully re-styled by the present owners, creating a sumptuous carpeted sitting room to the rear with large sofas, a feature panelled wall, and a fabulous floor-to-ceiling picture window. The first part of this generous room has contrasting flagstone flooring and features an impressive inglenook fireplace with an exposed sleeper beam. Leading off to the right of the reception hall is the inner lobby, where floor-to-ceiling bi-folding doors allow direct access to the rear terraces, and flagstone flooring continues through to the family room at the rear. The first of five bedrooms is conveniently located on the ground floor. Beautifully styled with chic décor, this versatile and generous room offers families a multitude of uses.

Flagstone flooring, continuing from the inner hall into this space, gives way to engineered oak, creating warmth and cosiness in the seating area with its fabulous wood burner.

Bedroom three has a superb floor-level window giving a fabulous view across the rear gardens and open countryside beyond. This sumptuous room is beautifully presented and features some lovely exposed beams. The fourth bedroom is presently used as a dressing and ironing room, but with exposed beams, it would make a delightful children’s bedroom.

Gardens and Outdoor Areas Double five-bar gates lead into the generous gravelled and paved driveway, offering ample parking for a large number of cars, along with the recent addition of a double oak carport. A side gate leads through to the fabulous rear gardens that offer circa ¾ acre of land with unspoilt countryside views beyond. The spacious decked terraces provide ample room for family and friends to enjoy outdoor dining and entertaining, and the recent addition of an impressive double Swedish Arctic log cabin has made a magnificent addition to this outstanding family home. With space for up to 50 guests, it has become a firm favourite for large family parties, and with two separate areas, it offers built-in seating and dining at one end, focused around the large central firepit, and a relaxing lounge area at the other, which also makes the perfect home office away from a busy household. The garden features wonderful mature shrubs and trees, including oak, cherry, and willow, along with a feature pond, all overlooking rolling countryside. At the far end is a second driveway, accessed through tall double gates, which leads to the large double garage. There is pending planning permission to extend and convert the garage into a separate two-bedroom self-contained cottage, ideal for extended family members requiring their own space.
