Property Oak House is an impressive, individually designed new-build home, combining traditional materials with contemporary styling and generous, well-planned accommodation. The red-brick elevations, contrasting cladding and tiled roof give the house an attractive appearance, whilst the extensive glazing makes the most of the natural light and surrounding views. The entrance hall provides a welcoming introduction, leading through to a spacious sitting room which enjoys a triple aspect overlooking the gardens. French doors open onto the terrace, and a wood-burning stove creates an appealing focal point for the room.
