THE PROPERTY
Built around five years ago by a local reputable builder, T&M Parker Developments to a high standard throughout, the property presents a timber clad exterior under a clay pantile roof with leaded dormer windows and gabion retaining walls to the front drive. The detached garage uses the same materials and the garden home office is also timber clad. This highly efficient family home benefits from timber framed double glazed windows and doors throughout and the solar panels contribute significantly to the heating costs due to the electric air source underfloor and radiator central heating.

The accommodation in brief leads in via a solid oak panelled front door with side screen window to the spacious semi-vaulted reception hall with tiled flooring, cupboards and a glazed door with side screen window to the rear garden. Modern oak doors lead off to the ground floor accommodation with the sitting room benefitting from a contemporary log burning stove, bi-fold windows out to the sun terrace, amtico/karndean flooring, dimmable downlighters and designer vertical panelling to two walls. The outstanding kitchen/dining/living room is essentially the heart of this exceptional home and features a high semi-vaulted ceiling, contemporary log burning stove, dimmable downlighters, windows to the front, side and rear and bi-fold doors opening to the rear terrace. The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and eye level units and central island by Cambridge Kitchens, with Quartz work surfaces, underset ceramic sink, five ring Neff hob with two ovens below, integrated dishwasher and a fridge freezer. The utility/boot room is fitted to the same high standard and houses the boiler cupboard, with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, a glazed door and windows to the garden. There is also cloakroom and the ground floor master bedroom is spacious with deep windows to the front, built-in wardrobe cupboards and an en-suite shower room with oversized shower cubical with rain head and hand shower attachments, low flush wc, wall mounted wash basin and a radiator towel rail, in addition to the under-floor heating.

On the first floor a landing with dormer window to the side offers sitting/study space and leads to three bedrooms, one of which enjoys a Juliet balcony window and doors to the front, built-in wardrobe cupboards and an en-suite shower room. There is also a family bathroom with tiled panel enclosed bath with hand shower attachment, wc, wall mounted wash basin and a radiator towel rail.

OUTSIDE
The house is approached over a gravelled driveway, the beginning of which is shared with the neighbouring property and provides space and parking for several vehicles and leads to the detached double garage. The gardens are of particular note and are very well presented and landscaped with a south facing stone paved terrace to the rear of the house with oak edged raised beds and borders.

The terrace continues around the house with stepping stones leading across the lawn to the detached double garage, the studio/home office and a block paved and decked garden terrace. There is also a fire pit area, garden shed and several raised vegetable beds. The gardens are mainly fence and gate enclosed with a gabion ditched rear boundary, beyond which, there are far reaching countryside views. There is also a wonderful oak tree with remote controlled uplighters for the evening.

The cedar clad studio/home office by Smart Garden Offices, benefits from power and light, is fully insulated with double-glazed full-length windows and bi-fold doors, has CAT 5 internet cabling, and enjoys far reaching views over abutting fields.
