Lap of Luxury

The new master suite is a magnificent area of luxury and space; you enter through the commodious private bathroom with a deep, walk-in dressing room off one side. The bathroom, with its Fired Earth tiles, is a sumptuous haven with a free-standing dou- ble-ended bath providing views over the garden, and a large separate shower, lavatory and bespoke vanity unit with washbasin. The bedroom beyond, is dual aspect with two pairs of windows to the front and back, and a vaulted ceiling generating much light and space.

The other three bedrooms are on the far side of the house. As the owner informs us, “Two of the bedrooms open onto a balcony where you can sit with a morning coffee and look out over the garden; equally lovely is sitting here watching the sun going down!” These bedrooms are near to the family bathroom – again, newly created with Fired Earth tiling, a free-standing bath as well as an impressive walk-in wet room. An excellent amount of storage is included in the property with plenty of built-in wardrobes and cupboards. The owners currently use the fourth bedroom as another dressing room but could easily be changed back into a bedroom.

Further Rooms Outside

Outside, the accommodation expands. The beautifully landscaped garden, a mix of paved areas and lawn, totally enclosed and surrounded by trees, is not overlooked in any way. Within it are several very attractive buildings: a timber-clad garden room opposite the kitchen is a lovely light space with French doors onto the terrace, next to which are two brick built structures, one a splendid seating area with Corinthian columns, the other a bespoke barbeque area - “all particularly beneficial for summer parties in case the weather changes,” says the owner.

From the front drive, adjoining the house to the left is an open-fronted cart-shed ideal for instant parking. To the other side is the new double garage which has a very useful 6 x 4 metre space above reached by internal timber stairs. With Velux windows, it has been plastered, painted, and carpeted and is ready to go as an office, studio, gym, games room, yoga space or whatever is required.

The imposing reclaimed stone fireplace was shipped over from Italy arriving in twenty-four individual stones which were all pieced together with a specialist mortar, and creates a stunning focal point with its new, state-of-the-art Charnwood wood-burning stove’
