THE DWELLING
An outstanding property (nearly 4,500 sq.ft.) with a contemporary family house with very generous accommodation plus separate incidental accommodation, studio/gym, extra/studio, easily managed grounds and an adjoining paddock, in all about 1.25 acres.

The house is a handsome 2 storey building with stone, rendered and mainly oak-clad elevations under a tiled roof. Internally the accommodation is beautifully presented, well decorated and appointed to excellent standards, mainly with Karndean flooring. The design and layout provide privacy to many areas and being a large house with many windows it’s flooded with sunlight, all combining to create a fresh, light and airy environment. It’s well worth noting that the house has an excellent EPC rating of C reflecting the excellent double glazing and gas central heating.
