Freshen up in the handy downstairs WC with wash basin and vanity unit storage, with a large cloaks cupboard on hand for coats and accessories.

Inspirational spaces

With views out over the driveway, the office on the right is the perfect place to work from home, light, bright and situated away from the main flow of family spaces.

Tucked away beyond the handsome solid oak staircase seek out solace and serenity in the sitting room, warmed by an inset fireplace and providing peaceful views out over the lawn and colourful planting to the front.

Glazed double doors open from the entrance hall into the vast family-dining-kitchen, the heart of the home.

The heart of family living

Beautifully designed, brilliantly connected and bathed in natural light, the bespoke German-made In-toto kitchen is as sleek as it is functional, with ample preparation space on the black marble worktops, alongside a range of high-spec Miele appliances including steam/convection oven, combination fan/microwave/grill oven, warmer drawer and dishwasher alongside a sociable breakfast bar central island housing both ceramic and wok hobs, plus a discreet Fisher & Paykel drawer dishwasher.

An aspiring chef’s dream, the kitchen also features an electric Aga with programmable aims system, a Quooker tap with HiTAC filter alongside an American-style Fischer & Paykel fridge freezer – each element chosen with both everyday ease and serious cooking in mind.

Feast your eyes

The hub of the home, with easy flow to all the key ground floor spaces, the dining area of the kitchen opens through bi-folding doors to the garden - perfect for al fresco dining, everyday family conversation, and laid-back summer lunches that drift outdoors with ease. It’s a space designed for coming together and staying close.

Step down from here into the family room - a relaxed retreat with just enough separation to feel calm, while still part of the wider rhythm of daily life. Tiled underfoot with the added element of underfloor heating, bifolding doors open to the swimming pool nestled on its own private travertine tiled terrace, the ultimate chill zone and teenage hangout.

Back in the dining room, another door opens to the home gym, which itself connects to the garden via French doors, inviting fresh air flow in during heated workouts.

Located next to the spacious garage and keeping the kitchen clutter free, there is also a handy utility room, connected to the first floor via a convenient laundry chute, currently furnished with a Siemens washing machine and Miele dryer. For added convenience there is a walk-in shower room/toilet, keeping the house free from wet floors after a dip in the pool.

And so to bed...

Returning to the entrance hall, head upstairs to a first-floor landing where at the top of the stairs, a sweep of sunlight leads the eye to the vaulted glass of the principal suite ahead, framing treetop views.

A serene retreat, bathed in natural light and finished in soothing shades of Farrow & Ball’s Purbeck Stone and Fossil Stone, the full-height wall of glass in the principal suite opens to a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden and pool - a view that shifts with the seasons.

Sunshine, swimming and serenity

Set over two levels, the garden, accessible from the main entertaining and leisure space, is an outdoor oasis made for family life, long summer evenings and celebrations under the open sky.

The upper lawn and patio are bordered by flowering shrubs, trees and, conveniently situated outside the kitchen, a herb garden - perfect for snipping fresh mint for drinks or sprigs of thyme for the Sunday roast. With ample room to pitch a 12 x 6m marquee for garden parties, birthdays or balmy-night dinners that run late into the evening, this is an outdoor space made for bringing people together.

Step down to the lower terrace and embrace summer living beside the 9m x 4.5m heated swimming pool – perfect for early morning dips, weekend lounging and poolside parties.

Surrounded by travertine paving the pool is fitted with a walk-on Aqua Guard electric safety cover (replaced in 2020), ensuring safety for children and pets alike. A Calorex air-source heat pump, newly installed in 2024, ensures the water is warm well into the season.

Outbuildings

Tucked into the garden, a discreet pool house with a living green roof contains the pump, filtration system and air-source heat pump - keeping everything running smoothly, quietly and out of sight. To the uphill side of the home, a lean-to provides dry, practical storage for garden furniture, paddleboards, or muddy boots after woodland walks.
