Stoney Drive was built in 2010 by the current owners, with energy efficiency very much in mind. The property is fitted with solar panels, an air-source heat pump, a MVHR system and has been constructed using structural insulated panels (SIPs).

A door to the front of the property opens into a central hall, beautifully finished with quality oak staircase, flooring and doors (continued throughout). The hall provides a storage cupboard to one side and gives access to all ground floor rooms. There are two bedrooms to the left of the hall; one with fitted wardrobes. These rooms offer much flexibility, as depending on the purchaser could be utilised as home offices, hobby spaces or a further reception room. The bedrooms are separated by a ground floor shower room, fitted with a modern suite comprising a low level WC, a vanity wash hand basin and a corner shower cubicle. There is also a double glazed frosted window to the side and a heated towel rail within the shower room. Also located off the hall is a useful utility room, which has external access out to the parking area and includes the Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery (MVHR) unit, as well as offering plumbing for a washing machine. One of the main selling points of this superb modern home is the spacious, open-plan and dual-aspect kitchen/dining/sitting room. This light and airy room includes a wood burning stove and offers space for soft furnishings and a dining table and chairs. The kitchen is fitted with a range of contemporary floor and wall units with a central island with a breakfast bar. Included within the kitchen is an integrated electric oven, an induction hob and a built-in coffee machine. There is also space for a freestanding dishwasher and an ‘American style’ fridge/freezer. The kitchen then opens out to the garden at the rear.
On the first floor, there are two comfortable double bedrooms, both of which benefit from their own en-suite shower room. Each of the first floor bedrooms have dormer windows to the front and enjoy a pleasant outlook.

Outside:

The property has access over a tarmac driveway to the side, which leads to a private area of off-road parking behind for up to four vehicles, laid to stone chippings. A low level gate then opens into the garden, which is southerly-facing and enjoys lots of sunshine throughout the day. Enclosed by stone walling and fencing, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn, and incorporates a summer house and a lovely terrace, ideal for outdoor seating and dining. Within the garden there is a good size garden shed, a pond, a wood store, raised planters and an area of patio directly behind the property. Gated access then leads around to the front, with a pathway to the main entrance, bordered by hedging on the roadside.
