This individual family home is offered with our strongest recommendations for an early viewing.
Accommodation
This fine village home was built in 1998/99, and was individually designed by architect Scott Henderson, combining both the benefits of modern construction with the character, charm, and classic features of a much older farmhouse.The property is entered via an oak front door into a large L shaped entrance hall with stairs ahead rising to the first-floor galleried landing. To the far left is a guest cloakroom comprising a Villeroy & Boch suite to include a wash hand basin, wall hung WC, ceramic tiling, radiator, and spotlights.To the right, is a spacious dual aspect dining room, which has a window to the front elevation, and French doors to rear terrace and garden with fine rural views beyond. There is a beautiful American solid oak floor, and a feature stone fireplace with an open stone hearth creating a superb focal point. From the dining room the sitting room is accessed, which is a wonderfully light room by virtue of a triple aspect with French doors with a lead canopy and a window to the front elevation, two sets of French doors to the rear and two windows flanking the chimney breast. There is a beautiful stone fireplace, with stone surround grate and hearth and an open fire, a central beam to the ceiling and spotlights. Off the entrance hall is a snug with built in cupboards and stairs rising to a first-floor study with a bespoke suite of Neville Johnson office furniture to include a desk, shelving, and a pull-out printer space/cupboard, a window overlooking the front elevation, plus two Velux windows.The principal feature of this fine family home is the open plan living dining kitchen.
