About this home

Stunning far reaching views over adjacent farmland, best enjoyed from the property's first floor balcony. Featuring contemporary open plan design, neutral decor, an oak/glass staircase, and wood-burning stove. Bi-folding doors lead to low-maintenance gardens backing onto open farmland. Parking for four cars.

INTERNALLY

Ground Floor

Entered via a contemporary, stylish front door, the welcoming entrance hallway provides dedicated space for a telephone table, shoe storage, and the hanging of coats. Conveniently located just off the hallway is a modern downstairs cloakroom fitted with a low-level W.C. and a wash hand basin. A door then leads into the spectacular, free-flowing open-plan living space, which forms the true heart and hub of this home with its clean, sharp lines and neutral colour palette. The area begins with a highly stylish, smart modern kitchen, designed for maximum functionality, fully equipped with integrated appliances including a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, double oven, and gas hob, alongside extensive storage units and plentiful worktop space for food preparation. This flows seamlessly into a spacious dining area that benefits from a large, deep under-stairs storage cupboard with an internal light, offering excellent space for larger household items. Positioned perfectly in the centre of the room is a striking fireplace with an inset wood-burning stove, acting as a cosy and contemporary central focal point. Beyond this is the lounge area, which opens through to the garden via double-glazed bi-fold doors that fully retract to seamlessly connect the room to the paved patio beyond. The lounge area has a light spacious feel, with far reaching views across the garden to the farmland beyond.

First Floor

From the ground floor, a contemporary staircase, featuring a premium timber banister with toughened safety glass panels leads up to the first-floor landing. The landing continues the stylish timber and glazed banister design, with modern solid wood doors giving access to all rooms. The property boasts three well-proportioned, double bedrooms. The master bedroom suite is a luxurious room featuring its own double-glazed bi-folding doors that open directly onto a private balcony. This balcony provides the perfect spot for a bistro table and two chairs, offering an elevated and idyllic place to sit and enjoy stunning, far-reaching views over the local farmland. Off the master bedroom is a modern en-suite shower room fitted with a walk-in shower cubicle, a low-level W.C., and a wash hand basin. Bedrooms two and three are both excellent-sized double rooms finished in a sharp, clean neutral decor. These two bedrooms have use of a sleek family bathroom, beautifully configured with a four-piece suite that includes a panelled bath, a separate shower cubicle, a low-level W.C., and a wash hand basin.

EXTERNALLY

The property boasts a striking, contemporary modern look, showcasing a fusion of smart, stylish cladding and classic yellow brick. Part of an exclusive, small boutique development by a private developer, the home's high-end aesthetic is immediately defined by a modern grey front door with matching grey double-glazed sealed unit windows. To the front, a smart block-paved driveway provides ample off-road parking for four vehicles. A timber side gate opens to a convenient side passageway, leading through to the rear of the property. The rear garden is a standout feature of the home, commencing with a patio area that steps out onto a main garden neatly laid to lawn, accented by raised beds and borders to the sides. Enclosed by timber fence boundaries on both flanks, the garden transitions at the far end to a timber post-and-rail fence. This open boundary maximises the property's primary attraction: truly outstanding, far-reaching views across open farmland to the rear, offering a picturesque and tranquil backdrop.
