4 bedroom detached house for sale

Designed and lived in by its current architect owner and his family, this property encapsulates years of experience and design in one building. Approaching to the rear of the property, it emulates the design of many traditional houses, with the true frontage looking out over the garden and adjacent fields of horses and sheep. The frontage features a large percentage of triple-glazed windows, with some roof windows and doors being double-glazed, thus creating solar gain. Additionally, the property benefits from a Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery system, gas central heating with underfloor heating on the ground floor, and radiators on the first floor. This well-planned, bright, and spacious home epitomises family living, featuring an impressive hallway leading to a large open-plan kitchen/dining/living room, sunroom, lounge, visitor’s WC, cloakroom, and master bedroom with a luxurious full en-suite and walk-in wardrobe. There is also a large utility room and a boiler room on the ground floor. The first floor has a landing being used as an office and reading area, which overlooks the sunroom below and offers views over the fields. There are three further bedrooms, one of which has a connecting room that would make an ideal teenager’s den or playroom. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the space, light, and sheer quality of the design and finishes.
