An outstanding, state of the art house with views over the village.
This beautiful house originally built in the 1960s has been extensively altered by the current owners. A large extension was added to the northwest of the house along with a beautiful oak framed extension to the south creating a wonderful reception space on the ground floor and an opulent main bedroom above with views over the garden and beyond.
The house is heated by a 12Kw air source heat pump with water based underfloor heating on all three floors.
The front door leads into the hallway and provides access to the staircase, the sitting room and to the dining room. The beautiful south facing sitting room has a French oak framed extension meticulously constructed with floor to ceiling glass windows. French doors lead to the garden. The contemporary kitchen was made by Kitchen Stori, finished in anthracite grey and was installed by local fitters, Sakura Kitchens. The surfaces throughout are Ice Branco Quartz designed and fitted by Windsmere Stone and Granite. It features an integrated Neff oven, Bosch dishwasher and a fridge freezer. The dining room has bifold doors leading to the garden, a hand crafted pendant and space for a large dining table. There is a guest WC with an enclosed shower and a utility room with space for a washing machine and a tumble dryer.
The first floor landing leads to a large main bedroom with exquisite oak joinery with lovely views from the Juliet balcony over the garden and beyond. The en suite has a shower, sink and WC. There are a further two double bedrooms, equal in proportion with views over looking the garden. The family bathroom is beautifully designed with ambient lighting. There is a freestanding bath, a separate enclosed shower with side jets. A sink and a WC. There is a office space and a plant room with storage on this floor.
The top floor is an L shaped loft and could be used as an additional bedroom or in its current guise as a family /cinema room with fantastic views.
The double garage is much larger than standard so there is plenty of additional usable space. It has thermal insulated walls for the winter months and a sound insulated ceiling. There is an impressive double hex-lighting across both bays. Upstairs features the studio bedroom which has electric underfloor heating, Kef ceiling speakers and LED lighting strips to highlight the wonderful oak beams. There is a shower room and separate WC with a sink.
OUTSIDE
The house is approached by the lane with a gravel driveway with LED spot lights and parking up to four cars. There is a bin store with external electric sockets. There are lawns laid to the front, side and rear with one of Shrewton's beautiful apple trees from the original orchard in the front garden. To the side is the shed, vegetable patch and large box hedge "retreat" area serving as useful shade in the summer. To the rear is a shaded patio, sun-trapped pergola and an outdoor BBQ/kitchen area and a separate compost area. All external patios and paths are covered with anti-slip porcelain slabs.

This house is just fantastic, the attention to detail and forward thinking from the owner is so rare. I love everything about it.
