Architecturally Designed Upside-Down Five-Bedroom Home with Stunning Views and Multi-Generational Living Potential

Nestled down a private lane, this exceptional architecturally designed five-bedroom detached home features an upside-down layout, perfectly arranged to take advantage of the surrounding idyllic views. Custom-built in the early 1980s, this unique property spans over 3,300 sq ft and is situated on a generous plot with a beautifully established rear garden, ideal for multi-generational living.

Approaching via an expansive gravel driveway, the striking exterior immediately captivates with its blend of render and pine panelling, inspired by Nordic architecture.

Upon entry, a welcoming hall flows into a spacious lobby. The lower floor accommodates two well-sized bedrooms, a large family/play/TV room, and a versatile fifth bedroom, which could also serve as a reception or hobby room, complete with a private door to a garden patio. This floor also offers a family bathroom with underfloor heating and a sauna. A separate area on this level includes an additional bedroom, a large pantry/store, and a utility room equipped with space for an under-counter fridge and oven. The converted garage, now a well-equipped workshop, can easily be restored to its original purpose if needed.

Upstairs, an open staircase leads to a stunning living, dining, and family room with a central open fireplace, magnificent windows, a vaulted ceiling, and sweeping views of the garden and lake beyond. Sliding doors open onto a generously sized balcony with seating and an electric awning, perfect for outdoor relaxation. Adjacent to the living room is a private office/study, ideal for home working.

The kitchen/breakfast room offers wooden cabinetry, a Quooker tap, an induction hob, and integrated Hotpoint appliances. The extended countertop provides ample prep space, with a cosy booth seating area for informal family dining. A spacious laundry room off the kitchen can serve as an additional bedroom or a second study, leading to a separate room housing the hot water and accumulator tank, ensuring high water pressure for the three bathrooms.

The main bedroom, located on the upper floor, includes built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom with underfloor heating. Sliding doors open from the bedroom to the balcony, providing a tranquil retreat with scenic views.

Externally, the front driveway allows for ample parking, with a side pathway leading to the generously sized rear garden. Primarily laid to lawn, the garden boasts a variety of trees, flowers, and shrubs, creating a beautiful, multi-functional space for family enjoyment. A large patio area offers the perfect setting for al fresco dining and social gatherings, enclosed by timber panel fencing, badger fencing, and hedging.

Agent's Note:
The driveway will be newly landscaped upon completion, following the construction of a neighbouring dwelling.
