The property combines traditional local materials with clean architectural design features and an exceptionally high standard of finish. Sustainable construction, carefully considered glazing and stylish interiors create a comfortable and energy-efficient home ideally suited to modern family life.

The generous accommodation extends to approximately 1,850 sq. ft. and includes an entrance hall, a magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining and living room, study, utility room, cloakroom, four double bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms.

Externally, there is an enclosed landscaped garden with a large paved terrace and attractive views across the adjoining countryside. A larger-than-average single garage and driveway provide excellent parking.

Accommodation
Built using a handsome combination of locally quarried Hadspen stone, lime-washed render and contemporary cladding beneath a natural slate roof, the property has a distinctive architectural style which sits comfortably within its rural surroundings. Energy efficiency has been central to its design, helping to keep both running costs and emissions to a minimum.

The front door is sheltered beneath a contemporary porch with external lighting and opens into a welcoming entrance hall with useful storage, a staircase rising to the first floor and a well-appointed cloakroom.

Occupying much of the ground floor is the superb open-plan kitchen, dining and living room. Measuring approximately 33'8" by 23'11" at its widest points, this wonderfully sociable space is beautifully proportioned and filled with natural light. Glazed double doors open directly onto the terrace and garden, creating an effortless connection between the interior and outside space.

The kitchen is fitted with Shaker-style cabinetry, square-edged Corian worktops and an excellent selection of appliances, including an oven and fridge freezer, together with a Caple dishwasher. A central island provides further workspace and a Siemens induction hob with integrated extractor, while the adjoining dining and living areas offer ample room for entertaining and everyday family life.

The utility room is positioned just off the kitchen and has its own external entrance, making it particularly practical for country living. A separate study provides a comfortable space in which to work from home.

Attractive flooring and underfloor heating extend throughout the house, providing a consistent and comfortable finish.

The first floor is arranged around a central landing and provides four well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly generous, measuring approximately 15'3" by 13'7", and benefits from its own en-suite shower room. The guest bedroom also has an en-suite, and the two remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom.

Each bath and shower room has been finished in a crisp contemporary style, with high-quality sanitaryware, chrome heated towel rails and illuminated mirrors. Several of the bedrooms enjoy especially attractive views towards the surrounding countryside, particularly across the northern and western aspects.

Considerable attention has been paid to the performance of the house. Its energy-efficient credentials include an air source heat pump, solar panels with battery storage, underfloor heating and UPVC double glazing, while superfast fibre broadband supports the practical demands of contemporary life.

Outside
The enclosed garden enjoys an attractive rural outlook and includes a generous paved terrace immediately adjoining the house, providing an excellent setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. The remainder is principally laid to lawn and enclosed by fencing, offering both privacy and security for children and pets.

External lighting, double electrical sockets and an outside tap are provided.

The detached garage measures approximately 20'1" by 10'3" and is complemented by driveway parking for two vehicles. An electric vehicle charging point has also been installed.

The house and garage provide approximately 2,057 sq. ft. in total.
