About this property

  • Willow was completed in 2016, replacing the previous 1950s property which occupied this splendid site. The property is designed and built to the exacting standards expected of a Hanse Haus, a premium German supplier of bespoke, ultra high-efficient, pre-manufactured homes. This striking property does justice to its location and provides well arranged, spacious accommodation over two floors, with most of the rooms enjoying the outstanding sea and country views. On the ground floor there is a spacious reception hall with oak staircase and gallery leading through to a dining area with thermally insulated doors flooding the area with light. Adjoining this is a sun room also with glazed double doors. The sitting room has timber double doors from the sun room or can be separately accessed from the hall. The kitchen is well appointed and incorporates a dining area and large island unit. The large expanses of glass take in the sea views and draw in the light. Beyond here is an additional reception room or spacious study. A plant/utility room and cloakroom complete the accommodation on the ground floor.

    Upstairs the galleried landing provides views of the front garden through an impressive cathedral style window. The western elevation provides the principal bedroom, incorporating a dressing room and en suite shower. The eastern elevation provides a double guest bedroom with en suite shower room and individual balcony. There are two further bedrooms, one currently functioning as a sitting room and featuring a 2nd balcony. There are two further bathrooms (one shower, one bath) and a fourth bedroom. Throughout the house there are quality materials used and particularly with the expanses of glass on the southern elevation, it's noticeable how warm and insulated this B rated (EPC) house is.

    Outside
    Considerable attention and budget has been given to the outside space at Willow. From Ware Lane there is an off street parking area for two cars with access to a garage. Steps lead down from there to the front garden which has been professionally designed and planted with shrubs and ornamental trees. A pond with water feature and a terrace are all retained by a splendid dry stone wall. Immediately to the rear of the house is a large terrace accessed from all the main ground floor rooms. Stone steps from here lead down to the main lawn which slopes gently to the bottom of the garden with a ha-ha forming the boundary to the National Trust farmland. To the eastern elevation of the house is a kitchen garden, access to an additional store room and the front of the house.
