An architect-designed family home set around an original 1960s farmhouse, Kingcott Farm House delivers effortless indoor–outdoor living across a striking 4,117 sq ft footprint. The 25ft double-height atrium, gull-wing staircase and large picture windows fill reception spaces with natural light, while a wrap-around sitting room, generous kitchen and multiple reception rooms offer versatile family living and entertaining space. Ground-mounted solar panels, underfloor heating and an air-source heat pump reduce running costs compared with typical all-electric homes.
Laid out as two distinct wings, the house suits busy family life: a principal suite with balcony and dressing room on one side, and a children’s wing with three doubles and a glazed landing on the other. There are six double bedrooms in total, four bathrooms (two en-suite), a study, games room, gym, fitted boot room, utility and plant room — plus a useful workshop and extensive parking off a long private drive.
The grounds are a major asset: landscaped gardens, west-facing lawns, a summer house and an adjoining field provide almost six acres in all, protected views and potential paddock space. Consent was previously granted to enlarge the master suite; plans can be made available for buyers wanting further remodelling or to add value.
Practical considerations: the house sits in a quiet, semi-rural hamlet with average mobile reception and very slow broadband — important if you work from home. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Overall, this is a substantial, characterful family home offering privacy, flexible living and strong outdoor amenity, best suited to buyers seeking space, countryside views and a property with clear extension potential.
