Set on a private gated plot of about 1.2 acres, this Scandinavian‑inspired single‑storey home blends contemporary design with countryside seclusion. The U‑shaped, timber‑clad building opens into a large open‑plan kitchen, breakfast and sitting area with abundant glazing and high ceilings — ideal for family living and entertaining. Zoned underfloor heating provides a comfortable, energy‑efficient feel; the property holds an EPC rating of B.
The principal suite is a standout: a triple‑aspect bedroom with two en‑suites and a walk‑in dressing room. There are three further double bedrooms (each with en‑suite facilities noted), a study/bedroom four and a dedicated cinema room, offering flexible accommodation for multi‑generational living or regular guests. A detached double garage with adjoining cart lodge is complemented by a one‑bedroom annex above, useful for staff, guests or rental income.
Practical considerations are clear and should be weighed by buyers: the home is oil‑fired with boiler and radiators, broadband speeds are reported as very slow, and local recorded crime levels are above average for the area. The construction dates from the early 2000s with timber‑frame walls; ongoing upkeep and routine checks on services are recommended. Tenure information is unspecified and should be confirmed prior to offer.
For those seeking a private, high‑quality single‑storey home in a prosperous rural location, the property offers immediate comfort and strong entertaining spaces, plus scope to personalise ancillary accommodation. Its expansive grounds, parking for numerous vehicles and excellent mobile signal add everyday convenience in a tranquil setting.
