Upon arriving at High Ridge House, via a long, sweeping drive flanked by mature trees and shrub borders, you are greeted by a spacious driveway capable of accommodating multiple cars. This driveway also provides access to an oversized double garage with additional eaves storage and steps leading up to the elegant front door.

Stepping inside, you are welcomed into a light-filled and airy hallway with a staircase to the first floor. The hallway connects to the lounge, the expansive kitchen/diner/family room, the utility room, and a feature archway that leads to the rest of the ground floor, offering potential for an annexe.

The lounge boasts a double-aspect view through front and side windows, framing stunning countryside vistas. An original stone open fireplace and a bespoke, built-in cabinetry lend warmth and character to the space.

The kitchen/diner/family room is a versatile and expansive space designed for modern family living and effortless entertaining. The kitchen boasts a central island, a full range of cabinetry, and integrated NEFF appliances, complemented by feature pendant lighting for a contemporary touch. French doors open directly to the garden, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. The dining area comfortably accommodates a large table and includes built-in floating cabinets and feature glass panels that frame picturesque garden views. The entire space enhances the indoor-outdoor flow with additional French doors, perfect for relaxing or hosting guests.

The utility room, accessed from the hallway, combines practicality with style, offering space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, wall and base units, a stable door to the rear, and a window with tiled flooring.

The main hallway includes a built-in cloak storage cupboard and a feature archway leading to the secondary hallway. This connects to the downstairs cloakroom. Nearby, the study provides an ideal workspace with a front-facing window and tiled flooring.

A second lounge enjoys dual-aspect windows overlooking the garden, offering a cosy yet light-filled space. Two double bedrooms are located on this level. Bedroom four features built-in wardrobes and elegant wall panelling, whilst bedroom five offers a versatile space with garden views.

A short set of steps leads to the guest bathroom and a garden-facing window.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing is bright and airy, and a unique panelled cosy dog bedroom.

From the landing, doors lead to the principle bedroom and additional rooms.

The principal bedroom is a bright and inviting haven, featuring a side-aspect double-glazed window, elegant wall panelling, and a walk-in wardrobe. Its en-suite bathroom is thoughtfully designed for comfort and practicality.

Bedroom two is a generously sized double room with a built-in wardrobe, a front-facing window showcasing countryside views, and characterful wall panelling. Bedroom three, another spacious double, overlooks the garden and includes an open wardrobe.

Outside, the property enjoys an elevated position with breathtaking countryside views from most vantage points. The garden, primarily laid to lawn, is surrounded by mature trees and shrub borders, creating a peaceful and private sanctuary.
