Beautifully appointed with an extensive range of quality cabinetry, integrated appliances and generous dining space, it provides the perfect hub for everyday life. A separate utility room offers additional practicality, whilst two spacious reception rooms provide flexible living accommodation. The principal lounge boasts an impressive feature stone fireplace, creating a warm and inviting focal point, complemented by a modern guest W.C. completing the ground floor.
The first floor is equally impressive, with a magnificent open mezzanine landing overlooking the reception room below, enhancing the sense of space and light throughout the property. There are four generously proportioned double bedrooms, all beautifully presented, with the luxurious principal suite benefitting from a superb contemporary en-suite wet room. A stylish family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and features a striking freestanding bath alongside high-quality modern sanitary ware.
Externally, the property enjoys an idyllic setting with rolling countryside and the picturesque hillsides of Holcombe forming a breathtaking backdrop. Accessed via private electric gates, the property benefits from an extensive block-paved driveway providing ample off-road parking and leading to a detached twin double garage. Adjoining the garage is a fantastic garden room complete with a feature log-burning stove and doors opening directly onto the gardens, creating the perfect space for entertaining, relaxing or working from home.
The beautifully landscaped gardens have been thoughtfully designed and include attractive water features, ornamental ponds, mature planting and two generous Indian stone patio areas, providing ideal spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining whilst enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

Flood Risk

The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
