A beautifully presented, detached family home with landscaped gardens opening to country views, in a picturesque countryside and village setting.

Further Information

This exceptional barn inspired home is positioned in a quiet enclave and forms part of this select development of just five houses.  Built just two years ago by Bixby Homes, they created exceptional builds with bespoke, high quality detailing, and an energy-efficiency approach in addition to ineffable qualities that make a house feel like a home.
 
The standard of finish throughout is both immaculate and of the highest quality, yet the current and only owners, have taken the original structure and upgraded elements of the house and gardens, to create a luxurious feel with all modern commodities added for extra comfort. 

The ground floor contains the living space around a large entrance hall with floor to ceiling glass frontage.  A sitting room is set to one side, a lovely and light room with a set of French doors leading to the side of the house and a bi-folds opening to the terrace and garden all enjoying the most wonderful far reaching views of open countryside.

Arguably the most impressive part of the house is the open plan kitchen/family/dining room with bi-fold doors out to a canopied terrace, overlooking the garden and the country scene behind.

This wonderfully bright and contemporary room is functional yet sociable and has a range of bespoke units and integrated appliances with ample space for a large sofa and a dining table. There is a utility room adjacent.
 
A bespoke, oak staircase rises to the first floor and to three excellent bedrooms set around a galleried landing. The master suite has an en-suite shower room, large wardrobe, and doors opening to the Juliet balcony which takes in a the most wonderful vista to the rear of the house. Two further double bedrooms share a luxury family bathroom. 

On the second floor there are two further bedrooms, one with en-suite, and ample storage step into the eaves.

Outside:
From the select enclave in which the house is positioned, a driveway provides formal parking and access to the double carport, which has useful storage space above.  The lawns and gardens have been beautifully landscaped, at the front, side and rear, to provide the balance of an easily maintainable space that is both a place to enjoy and play.  A patio area runs along the rear of the house, connecting the interiors to the lawns and providing strategic places for seating including a covered bar and a canopy outside the kitchen.  The gardens have been designed to be open to the countryside elements beyond, providing an open green vista.
