Description : This unique detached property offers a rare combination of character, privacy, generous grounds, stables and exceptional flexibility. Standing on approximately 1.8 acres of private and secure gardens, paddocks and stables, the property comprises a detached family home together with a separate detached lofted garage offering considerable scope for a variety of uses, subject to the necessary planning permission. Approached via a long private driveway, the property immediately conveys a wonderful sense of privacy and arrival. The driveway is entered through impressive electric gates framed by round stone pillars, leading through the grounds towards the main residence and the separate detached building. The setting is particularly appealing for those seeking a home with space, security and a strong connection to the surrounding countryside, while still being within easy reach of village amenities. The residence was originally constructed in 1999 and was further extended in 2016. Although relatively modern in terms of its construction, the property has been designed with the intention of creating a much older, more traditional and homely atmosphere. The owner has deliberately incorporated different levels, timber finishes, traditional detailing and generous living spaces to give the house a distinctive character and a cosy, almost period feel. The accommodation is arranged over a series of different levels, making the house particularly interesting and individual. Rather than following the conventional layout of a modern home, the changing floor levels create separate zones while maintaining a wonderful sense of connection between the various living spaces. The property is entered through a welcoming entrance hallway which leads into the principal accommodation. There is a separate sitting room, together with an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area which provides the heart of the home and an ideal space for everyday family life and entertaining. A utility area and guest w.c. provides useful additional practical space. One of the most attractive features of the house is the elevated living area, which is reached via raised steps and enjoys direct access onto the rear patio and gardens. This lovely room has a particularly warm and characterful atmosphere, with beautiful wooden flooring, ceiling coving and a large feature fireplace incorporating a stove. The room is ideally positioned to take advantage of the gardens beyond and provides a wonderful space in which to relax, entertain or simply enjoy. The unique layout continues upstairs, where a mezzanine-style arrangement allows natural light to filter into the upper hallway. This architectural feature adds to the sense of space and individuality throughout the property while connecting all the bedroom accommodation and family bathroom. Overall, the house has a warmth and charm. The combination of different levels, timber flooring, traditional detailing, fireplaces and generous windows creates a home that feels established, comfortable and distinctly different from a conventional modern detached house. To the side of the main residence is a separate detached lofted garage. This additional building is an important feature of the property and offers considerable flexibility for a purchaser looking for space beyond the main residence. The building is capable of lending itself to a variety of potential uses, subject to planning permission. Depending on a purchaser's requirements, the space could potentially provide accommodation for a home office, studio, workshop or additional living space. There is also accommodation at first-floor level within the detached building. It is important to note that this upper accommodation does not currently have planning permission for residential use. The separation of this building from the main house provides an additional degree of flexibility and privacy and will undoubtedly appeal to purchasers seeking a property with potential beyond the principal residence. Outside: The grounds are an exceptional feature of the property, extending to approximately 1.8 acres and providing a wonderful balance of garden, open space, paddocks and stables. The entire holding is private and secure, creating a feeling of a small country estate while remaining manageable and practical. The combination of gardens and paddocks gives the property a wonderfully open feel and provides plenty of scope for those who enjoy gardening, outdoor pursuits, animals or simply having additional private land around their home. Services: The property is serviced by oil-fired central heating, private well water and a septic tank.
