An Impactful Arrival

Quietly tucked away on a large, corner plot, this modern, detached home is approached through secure, electric gates and a block paved driveway which is replaced by a golden gravel parking area, with a detached garage also available. Borders of mature shrubs frame the glass-fronted, gabled entrance to The Corner House. Full height glass floods light into the open and airy entrance hallway, with storage for coats and shoes to both sides.

The Heart of the Home

Double doors open to reveal the incredible, open-plan, bespoke kitchen-dining room, where views entreat out over the garden to the rear. The heart of the home, this kitchen is made for entertaining. Sneak a peek at the walk-in pantry on the left. Adjacent is the utility room, where sleek handleless cabinets provide a plethora of storage, and views can be enjoyed out over the garden from a wide window. There is a secondary dishwasher alongside plumbing for a washer and dryer, and access outside.

A Home Chef's Dream Kitchen

Marble worktops gleam beneath the spotlights and pendants of the bespoke main kitchen, whilst painted, Shaker-style cabinetry affords ample storage. A Wolf steamer, teppanyaki stove and griddle and induction hobs with pop up extractor can be found on the central island breakfast bar, where a butcher’s block end section features a champagne holder. Appliances include a Wolf oven and warming drawer, Sub-zero drinks fridge and drawer, fridge and two-drawer freezer alongside a Wolf coffee machine, nestled within a breakfast cupboard, and a Zip instant boiling and filtered cold and sparkling water tap. Full height glass doors tempt you outside to dine al fresco.

Snuggle Up

To the right of the entrance hallway, step into the spacious sitting room, warmed by a log-burning stove, inset within an exposed stone surround, with soft, timeless grey dressing the walls. Large windows draw in light from the front, whilst double doors to the rear open to the garden, providing instant access outdoors in summer. Across the entrance hallway sits the dining room, with ample space for a large table and views over the front. This versatile room could also serve well as a study.

Bedtime Beckons

Illuminated stairs lead up to the first-floor landing, a light and bright destination, with fitted shelving perfect for books and treasured items. Light flows in from the glazed gable to the front, where plantation shutters open to offer a vantage point from where to survey the surrounding countryside to the front. With five bountiful double bedrooms in total, each offering views out over the garden and surrounding countryside, take the stairs up to the second floor, where a large landing could make an ideal home office and where two large double bedrooms with fantastic vistas are served by a family bathroom.

Sweetest of Dreams

On the first floor, also overlooking the trees and countryside to the front of the home are two large guest bedrooms, both doubles, served by their own luxurious en suites. Privately tucked away to the rear, seek sanctuary in the principal suite, where a stunning double height ceiling follows the roofline of the shuttered, fully glazed gable which frames views out over the garden. Drenched in natural light, and with ample space for a king-size bed and storage, wake up to nature every morning. This room also benefits from a walk-in dressing room, and decadent en suite with twin wash basins, bath and separate shower.

Family Time

Accessed from the kitchen and sitting room, step out onto the broad, paved patio, ideal for al fresco entertaining and barbecues. Illuminated steps lead up to the large, flat lawn, edged in borders filled with planting.
