This exceptional home boasts versatile accommodation, a range of outbuildings, and breathtaking open countryside views, all set within grounds exceeding two acres.

Accommodation
The welcoming entrance hall leads into a large kitchen and dining room, designed for both family living and entertaining, providing ample space for cooking and dining. Just off the kitchen/dining room, you find a bright, spacious sitting room with an inset wood burner seamlessly connecting to the conservatory. Both spaces offer direct access to an expansive terrace, perfect for relaxation and enjoying the picturesque setting. Additional ground-floor rooms include a practical utility room and three bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, plus a separate shower room (bedroom four on the plan is currently used as a study). A spiral staircase from the kitchen leads to the principal bedroom suite, which enjoys an en-suite bathroom and outstanding views across the surrounding countryside.

Gardens, Grounds, and Outbuildings
Fairhaven is accessed via double electric gates leading to a spacious private driveway and an impressive car barn (34’4” x 26’4”) with twin roller doors and a pedestrian entrance, ideal for housing a car collection.

The low-maintenance gardens, mainly laid to lawn, provide a tranquil setting. A wooden-clad lodge, equipped with electricity, offers flexibility as a home office, gym, or treatment room. Additional outbuildings include two stables, a tack room, a store room, a garden store, and a log store.
The private rear garden features a raised deck area enclosed by glass balustrades, complete with a sunken hot tub—an ideal space for entertaining while taking in the stunning rural views. Beyond the garden, two paddocks wrap around the property, enclosed by high-quality post-and-rail fencing, offering excellent equestrian potential and preserving the uninterrupted views.
