The gardens extending to approximately one acre, mostly laid to lawn and having a natural forest environment with mature shrubs. A covered pergola houses the hot tub positioned close to the rear of the house. There are further garden sheds and a pathway leading through the grounds to the lane leading to the private jetty. A tandem double car port and an integral double garage as well as ample parking allow for a host of vehicles to be safely stored. This exclusive development of homes is very dog friendly with various walks and bike rides leading from the house. The property enjoys a recently constructed cedar clad home office/studio which provides a light spacious detached room for home working or hobbies.

A curved brick built staircase leads past planting to the front entrance and to the first of many “wow” factors created by the stunning open plan dining hall that has a wall of glass perfectly framing a magnolia stellata and the beautiful rear woodland grounds. This image is reflected in the extensive Crema Marfil marble flooring which runs throughout the house with underfloor heating. A dividing feature wall with exposed log burning flue leads to the sitting room, where full width triple glazed windows offer completely private views to both east and west aspects of the gardens. On the south elevation, two triple glazed doors lead to the balcony roofed by solar panels running the full width of the house.

Marble stairs lead down from the dining hall to the bespoke designer kitchen by Häcker with mood lighting in the units. Large windows flood the room with light and a glazed door leads to a breakfast balcony for morning coffee. Equipped with a range of Miele AAA rated appliances including a 90cm smart steam oven, induction hob and integrated full size dishwasher.

The island unit has a clever sliding breakfast bar allowing complete flexibility of this room. There are two sinks, the one in the island with Swiss Eisinger fittings. Downstairs is a prep-kitchen/laundry/utility with steam oven, micro-combi, large fridge/freezer and wine cooling unit. A shower/wc leads off to the boot room and a glazed door out to the substantial tandem car port. A security door leads to the large double garage, workshop/store area with automatic up and over doors.

Off the kitchen, the study is also fitted with Häcker designer units and desk but given that it has a en-suite shower and facilities could easily be used as a fourth bedroom suite. Beyond the inner corridor, there are two king-size guest suites each with designer en-suite facilities plus a separate cloakroom, generous storage cupboards and the mains pressure hot water tank cupboard.

To the other side of the kitchen, which acts as the hub of the house, are, at lower ground level, a large Media room with broadband, satellite and terrestrial TV connection and a corner Westfire Uniq 27 wood burner. South facing windows and double doors open onto a slate covered entertaining terrace. Above this is the master suite with its own private balcony and leads to a private jacuzzi room with curved walk-in shower, bidet and Villeroy & Boch Nagano vanity. A special treat is being able to see the garden from the bathroom through the corner window. All sanitary ware in the house is Villeroy & Boch with Hansgrohe taps.
