A Rural Haven It was the magnificent position of the property here that attracted the current owners – you’re centrally placed within the area, close to towns and amenities, but when you’re at home you’re totally private, away from the rest of the world with woodland and fields around you. “We love the seclusion and the greenery. We’re not isolated here but we do find it incredibly relaxing and the wildlife is superb. We know our neighbours and it’s nice that there are people around if you need them, but if you don’t want to see another soul, you don’t have to,” smile the owners. Instead they have had deer keeping them company, even wandering up to the patio where the owners can watch them from the comfort of their bedroom in the early morning. There are also many birds of prey, squirrels, pheasants and more. Work, Rest And Play While the position was perfect, the property itself needed some work, so the owners have been through renovating everything and extending along the way. Everything has been done to a high standard with ease of maintenance in mind, so this should be an easy house to care for over the years to come. The kitchen is a fabulous entertaining space and the hub of the home, with double doors onto the formal dining room at one end, double doors onto the garden and double doors leading back into the hallway, so you’re well connected to the rest of the property. The sitting room is dual aspect and again a great size but still retains that cosy feel when you’re curled up in front of the log burner on a cold winter’s evening. The master suite is another highlight, being very spacious and having both dressing room and en-suite, as well as beautiful views over the grounds. There’s a triple garage and a generous workshop ideal for hobbies or perhaps even as a business premises or studio. There’s also a further building housing the Jacuzzi and a gym, with large windows framing views over the garden. You could easily add a sauna here if desired. A Breath Of Fresh Air The owners have made the garden as low maintenance as possible, making the most of the mature trees surrounding the plot. Most of the land is laid to lawn so you can make short work of upkeep with a tractor mower. “It’s attractive all year round here, with plenty of evergreen trees. We love to sit in the Jacuzzi with a glass of wine and just enjoy the outlook over our garden. It’s hard to appreciate how pretty it is without seeing it for yourself,” enthuse the owners. If you’re a keen gardener then there’s plenty you could do here and the large greenhouse and vegetable plot are sure to appeal. Children would no doubt be in heaven here too – having all this space to play out, run around and have so much fun in the fresh, countryside air. Intro The current owners have lived at the property since 2011 and have undertaken a large programme of extension and renovation, this has resulted in a property of exceptional standard. Enclosed by mature trees, the generous plot extends to approximately 2 acres and includes a fabulous range of outbuildings, which includes a leisure facility which incorporates both a gym and Jacuzzi. The home itself has a high specification which includes a seven burner range cooker, an American style fridge freezer, slate flooring and both granite and oak work surfaces. The Grounds The wonderful grounds are enclosed by high hedges offering a high degree of privacy. Buildings include two large garages incorporating a double and a single garage with lighting, plastered ceilings, electric roller shutter door, fitted alarms and painted floor and walls. To the rear of this garage there is a further double garage, which comprises a fitted workshop with wall and base units with solid oak worktops with a television point. The attached cart shed to the rear of the garage is 31ft 9inches in length and offers twin double doors, lighting, power points and a work bench. Scandinavian Style Leisure Building Built from Red Wood Pine, has full external sliding doors with storage heating throughout. It is split into two separate areas. The gymnasium has been fully carpeted and benefits from quality gym equipment including two multi gyms, free weights bench and press stand, running machine, cross trainer and stepper.
