Finished in calming tones with deep coving, spot lighting, and beautifully maintained flooring, this space is perfectly suited for both family living and entertaining on a grand scale.

Flowing seamlessly from the reception space is the contemporary kitchen, beautifully appointed with sleek matte and high-gloss cabinetry, granite worktops, and quality integrated appliances. The layout is designed for both style and practicality, with units thoughtfully arranged across three zones. The main cooking area includes a four-burner induction hob and a two burner gas hob beneath a statement tiled splashback; a central island offers additional workspace and breakfast bar seating; and a further wall of tall cabinetry features an American-style fridge freezer, twin ovens, wine fridge, open shelving and a bespoke bar area with feature lighting — an ideal setup for entertaining. A secondary dining space completes the room, with ample space for informal meals and gatherings.

Just off the kitchen is a well-designed utility room, finished to the same high specification, with quartz worktops, additional cupboard space, under-counter appliances, and space for a tall freestanding fridge-freezer — ensuring everything has its place while keeping the main kitchen clutter-free.

Continuing through the ground floor, you enter the cinema room — a true lifestyle highlight. With a ceiling-mounted projector, full-width screen, integrated sound system, and feature fireplace, this room is designed for immersive viewing and relaxing in comfort. Double doors to the rear provide a pleasant garden outlook and easy access to the patio area.

Returning to the front of the house, the study provides a quiet, private workspace with views over the front aspect. Currently used as a home office and library, it’s the perfect setting for remote work, reading or focused study.

From the central hallway, a lobby leads to a well-appointed shower room with contemporary fittings, including a large walk-in enclosure, basin, and WC. Adjacent to this is a separate cloakroom/WC, offering excellent flexibility and convenience for guests and family alike.

Finally, to the rear of the ground floor, the gym provides a spacious, bright environment for fitness and wellbeing. With built-in storage and ample room for equipment, this room is as functional as it is versatile. A door leads directly into the integral heated double garage with solar panel and battery storage, an electric car charger and built in wall to floor storage offering functional storage solutions. An additional cloakroom/WC is conveniently positioned off the gym, perfect for use after workouts or when coming in from the garden.

Moving Upstairs:

The entire upper floor of this exceptional home spans nearly 3,000 sq ft and offers a rare combination of generous space, thoughtful design, and uninterrupted countryside views. Every bedroom enjoys a scenic outlook—whether to the front, rear or sides—framing rolling fields and open skies in every direction. This constant connection to nature fills the space with light and tranquillity.

Five bedrooms are arranged across the floor, including two spacious rear rooms with beautiful panoramic views—ideal as a principal suite and guest room. The principal bedroom sits centrally, while the bedroom to the left of it features a sleek, modern en-suite with a walk-in shower, wall-mounted chrome towel radiator, contemporary tiling, underfloor heating and clean white finishes.

The floor also benefits from two Jack and Jill bathrooms—one serving the far-left bedrooms, the other the far-right—each finished with quality fittings. One includes a luxurious corner shower and separate bath beneath a pitched ceiling, while the other is set up with a double basin vanity and large window overlooking the countryside. Each bathroom combines practicality with comfort, offering both family-friendly layouts and private access where needed.

Throughout the floor you’ll find bespoke shutters, excellent storage, study or reading areas ideal for remote work or homework, and a wide, welcoming landing that ties everything together. The result is a beautifully considered first floor that offers not just space, but light, functionality and a genuine sense of calm.

Step Outside:

Step outside and this home continues to impress with its generous grounds, beautifully landscaped gardens, and a truly idyllic setting. Every element of the outside space has been carefully considered to complement the home’s style, scale, and serene countryside backdrop.

To the rear, a vast garden offers uninterrupted views over open fields and rolling hills. A full-width paved terrace spans the back of the house, offering multiple outdoor living areas including a hot tub, barbecue zone, sunbathing spaces, and a covered seating lounge with integrated lighting — ideal for year-round entertaining. From here, the lawn flows outwards, bordered by mature hedging for privacy, and dotted with established trees and planting. A winding path meanders through the garden, adding charm and functionality while connecting to further seating areas and play zones.

At the front, the home is equally striking. A wide, gravelled driveway is framed by manicured borders, mature hedging, and an elegant tree-lined boundary, offering space for multiple vehicles and direct access to the large double garage. The house itself is wrapped in seasonal greenery, with climbing plants softening the facade and adding character and warmth to the approach. The traditional porch with large front door sets a welcoming tone, and the elevated position provides lovely views across the surrounding landscape.

Altogether, the external space offers the best of both worlds — expansive, functional, and perfectly private, with exceptional views and an unmistakable sense of peace.
