In addition, converted outbuildings include a substantial gym and separate office, providing the opportunity to improve work-life balance by working or running a business from home.

Hidden away behind mature leafy hedging, tall wooden electric gates glide open to reveal this extraordinary home. An impressive and welcoming entrance hall with hard wood flooring leads to the fabulous open plan kitchen-dining room, complete with vaulted ceiling, picture window and glass wall of bi-fold doors which seamlessly fold back to extend this sociable family hub out onto paved terrace and into the garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall units with warm wooden work surfaces, range cooker with induction hob, integrated appliances and central island. There is an enviable pantry and a practical utility room. A light and spacious sitting room with views through a large bay window over the front lawn also benefits from a multi-fuel stove which creates a cosy retreat or sociable hub during winter’s evenings. A second large and well-proportioned reception room is currently used as a dining room. Leading past the downstairs cloakroom is an open plan home office area and separate living space with French doors to the garden, which could easily be reconfigured to create a separate annexe. Upstairs there are five bedrooms which all have stunning viewings over the beautiful gardens to the countryside beyond. The principal bedroom suite comprises the main room overlooking the front garden, a dressing area with sleek fitted wardrobes, and an ensuite shower room. The second spacious double bedroom is also at the front of the house and benefits from an ensuite shower room. Of the other three bedrooms one has a built-in wardrobe and all three share a family bathroom.

Outside

Behind the smart electric gates, with remote mobile phone access, is an expanse of sweeping shingle driveway with ample space for parking a multitude of vehicles. A converted outbuilding houses an impressive home gym, office, kitchen, WC, garage and storage. Lawn encircles the house bordered by mature trees, hedging, and fencing. There are two beautiful Walnut trees with space for a hammock for those balmy summer afternoons. Colourful herbaceous borders complement the thoughtful landscaping with paved terraced areas for relaxing and entertaining. The addition of two thatched gazebos provide attractive shelter for afresco dining and the hot tub.
