FURLONG HOUSE
Finished in 2024, Furlong House really embraces that wonderful blend of traditional style with modern living. Built by a couple with plenty of experience building exceptional family houses, the property offers an outstanding level of design, modern-day practicality, and most importantly, a welcoming feel as you arrive. The house is extensive, but subtle changes in floor level and high ceilings create a sense of intimacy on one hand, and versatility on another.

Finishes include polished concrete floors in the entrance hall and grounds floor communal areas, plaster cornice, Sisal herringbone carpets, Pooky and Jim Lawrence light fittings, Barnaby Gates wallpaper, Lefroy and Brooks sanitaryware and bespoke cabinetry. The ground floor is all underfloor heated, with radiators on the first floor; all controlled with a Heatmeiser App. Bathrooms are electric underfloor heated.

The kitchen/dining room is without doubt one of the best in the market in the area; it offers hand-finished, bespoke fitted kitchen cabinets, Arabescato marble workstops, Perrin & Rowe taps with Parthian boiling hot water tap, an insinkerator, an Everhot 150i, separate integrated Fisher Paykel larder fridge and freezers, Dual Zone wine fridge and a Miele dishwasher. There is a large dining area, with family space around the Stone mantle and log burning stove. There is a walk-in larder and with fully opening sliding glass doors to the garden at the rear. A further set of sliding glass doors open out to the Brieze du Soleil, with terrace for outdoor eating.

The rooms on the ground floor can be used in any number of ways, currently configured to provide a family room/snug, a lovely sitting room with open fireplace, study (or sixth bedroom) and the fifth bedroom, with adjoining bathroom. The boot room and utility/laundry room are ideally placed to the side of the house, beautifully finished (including a bespoke built-in dog bed) and have a downstairs loo, wine store and plant room.

A polished concrete stair, with Sisal herringbone runner, leads up to the expansive first floor galleried landing. The principal bedroom suite provides a walk-through dressing area, 19ft bedroom with vaulted ceiling and en suite bathroom, with wooden Versailles Panel flooring, two timber vanity units, double ended bath and a double shower with 12” Rainfall Roses. Bedroom 2 adjoins but would also make a sumptuous dressing room if needed. Two further bedrooms share a family bathroom and separate shower room.

A full specification of the property is available by request.

OUTSIDE
The gardens have been sympathetically designed to allow the house to sit comfortably in the landscape, whilst also being low maintenance. Entrance gates lead into a large gravelled parking area, with a triple garage block to one side. Whilst still maturing, the garden has been carefully planted to offer colourful beds around the house and terrace. They envelop the house, with a large swathe of level lawn to the south and west, ensuring minimum interruption of the far-reaching views to the west. The garden blends seamlessly into an area of paddock which could easily be fenced off for horses and livestock if one wished.

A yard to the north of the house comprises a large, secure, barn with workshop and stores, an open-fronted livestock barn and stabling for three horses and a tack room. There is about 11.2 acres of beautiful grazing land adjoining the property, with independent access from Cow Drove.
