Magnificent Modern Country House in about 5 acres.

Description

Fairbourne Manor is a beautiful modern home set in wonderful gardens and grounds measuring about 5 acres with a lake, an island and a swimming pool.

Built in 2011 in a Georgian style, Fairbourne Manor is approached via bespoke wrought iron electric gates leading onto the extensive circular driveway which also affords access to the double garage.

The front door leads to an entrance vestibule and onto the hallway accessing the real heart of the house that is the bespoke and fully integrated kitchen, breakfast and family room.

The kitchen, breakfast and family room is an amazing space with bi fold and French doors opening onto the full width terrace looking over the gardens, lake and water fountains.

All of the other reception rooms are also accessed off the central hallway. Adjacent to the kitchen is the dining room with French doors leading onto the terrace. The drawing room is of particular note with a feature fireplace, French and bi fold doors. The study/sitting room is located to the front of the house with views over the garden and driveway. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a guest WC and a useful utility room.

On the first floor the principal bedroom enjoys wonderful views out over the lake and the garden. This sumptuous space also has a feature fireplace, a dressing room, a luxuriously appointed bathroom and access onto its own private terrace. There are four further bedrooms, all of which are en suite and two of which enjoy a south facing terrace.

The gardens and grounds are sensational and measure about 5 acres. The house has been designed to enjoy the gardens and views seamlessly with a terrace to the rear and to the west of the house which both have views over the lake. The terrace also provides access via a raised walkway to the gym/studio with adjoining the garage and gardener's store.

The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with a range of mature borders and trees. One of the key features of the garden is the outdoor swimming pool with an adjacent pool house and shower, being positioned away from the house the pool benefits from sun all day. There is a wonderful walk around the whole lake with a jetty at the far end with views back to the house over the water fountains.
