Full Details - Plot 2
Situation
This house sits alongside the signature beech tree on the estate, looking due south over an extensive lawn towards banks of mature rhododendrons and flowering shrubs which provide seclusion and privacy.
Approached by a private driveway the symmetrical form of the house is beautifully enhanced with natural sandstone detailing. The driveway passes the integral double garage before swinging round to a parking area north of the house where the formal entrance is located.
To the south of the house is a large stone terrace accessed from French windows and leading down onto the large lawn which enjoys a full southerly aspect. The boundaries of the plot are marked with a variety of mature shrubs, beech hedging and colourful banks of rhododendrons.
Accommodation
The emphasis of this house is generous and comfortable living space designed to make the most of the stunning southerly views. From the formal entrance, the ground floor gallery leads past the dining room with its southerly aspect to a large and elegant formal drawing room running the entire depth of the house. Windows on the south, west and north elevations of the room provide all-round views of the mature gardens.
At the opposite end of the ground floor gallery, the kitchen and breakfast area stretches 11 m in open plan form from the kitchen work surfaces to the breakfast and informal eating area with its circular bay window and French doors leading out onto the terrace. This area looks south over the signature beech tree and gardens. The breakfast area opens into the family room which also enjoys southerly views and a beautiful limestone fireplace for the colder months.
In addition to the entrance from the gallery, the kitchen can also be entered though a separate informal entrance on the north side of the house. The entrance leads past a utility room, study and shower room with WC. There is also a guest WC located close the formal entertaining areas of the house.
On the first floor, the symmetry of the house continues. The master bedroom suite occupies the same 11m by 6m wing of the house as the drawing room beneath. It provides a huge bathroom with large shower and freestanding bath, a separate dressing room and a large south facing bedroom with circular bay window looking out to the garden.
The corresponding wing at the opposite end of the first floor contains two double bedrooms. Two further bedrooms are situated above the family room and dining room. All four bedrooms have en-suite shower and/or bath facilities. There are generous cupboards and storage accommodation throughout the house and in the attic.
Integrated at the eastern end of the house is a large garage with space for 2 cars and garden machinery. Above the garage is a further 30 sq m of accommodation which could be used for a number of purposes including a "Granny Flat", teenager's bedroom and lounge, playroom, office or studio. To allow the buyer to get the most from this flexible space it is fully plumbed for an additional en suite bathroom. This en suite will not be installed to allow the buyer to decide how best to use this fantastic additional space.
