4 Oakes Close is an outstanding modern house, where the design and construction of the home have been the foremost priority of both the developer and current vendors. The property benefits from its elevated position, which affords it with views of expansive countryside to the front, and of fields to the rear.

A sturdy oak-framed porch guides you inside to the entrance hall, from which you can see directly through to the open-plan kitchen and attached bespoke orangery. This addition to the developers’ floorplan, designed by the current vendors, fills the space with plenty of natural light which shines through to the hallway, whilst also giving access from the kitchen to the patio and garden through its French doors.

The Loxley kitchen, created by local designers Harwoods, has interlinking doors to the sitting room. There is an adjoining utility room with an attached plant room and side door, leading out to a patio area which connects the driveway to the garden.

The hallway also connects to a spacious sitting room with herringbone oak floors, a log burner and sliding doors opening out to the patio, a dedicated study with bespoke cabinetry, a cosy family room, W.C, and cloakroom.

The first staircase leads from the hallway to the galleried landing. The large principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, in addition to beautiful countryside views through the rear-facing windows. The first floor also boasts three further double bedrooms with ample built-in storage, one of which has an en-suite shower room, a family bathroom, and a second staircase which leads up to a substantial fifth bedroom which, if required, is large enough to accommodate an en-suite.
