The house is spacious and light with views on every side over the gardens and woodland from the large picture windows. The ground floor flows through the Reception Hall, through the open plan dining room to the very spacious and light infused kitchen. There are four bedrooms each with en-suite bathroom. The house benefits from renewable energy generated by a ground source heat pump and 8kw of photovoltaic panels which, together, provide much of the energy to run the underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, radiators on the first floor and domestic hot water. There is also a Superfast broadband connection. The front door opens into an impressive oak framed, glass entrance hall with a cloak room and separate W/C off. Glass doors then lead into a wonderfully light reception hall. The Italian tiled flooring extends from the entrance hall through the reception hall and open plan dining room, into the kitchen. On the left hand side of the entrance hall is a sitting room with bi-folding doors that open onto a raised timber deck. A double sided, glass fronted, cassette wood burner provides additional heating to the Reception Hall and the small sitting room. To the right is the drawing room with views of the garden on two sides. There is also a study and utility room with sink and plumbing for washing machine and access through leads out to the double garage which has a storage loft over. The kitchen is contemporary and spacious, full of natural light from large windows on three sides. Granite work surfaces cover a range of fitted cupboards and floor units and a large central island, which houses a dishwasher, further cupboards, drawers and a breakfast bar.
