About this property

  • A substantial detached house, which was effectively constructed in 2008 on the site of an earlier bungalow, the property offers well-appointed and spacious accommodation over two floors with a convivial flow that is ideal for families and for entertaining. With under-floor heating throughout, together with air-conditioning heat/cool units within the conservatory and first floor bedrooms and 4kw solar panels that benefit from the Government's feed-in tariff until 2032, it is also a highly efficient home. With a largely ceramic tile floored ground floor, the front door opens into an impressive open plan kitchen/family room, with wood burning stove, which occupies the core of the house.

    With an extensive suite, arranged around a range gas/electric cooker, the suite incorporates an integrated dishwasher and wine cooler, with space for a fridge and freezer.

    The dual-aspect dining room has space for a 12-seater table, and overlooks the driveway and parking, whilst double doors open from the kitchen to a spacious conservatory, with bi-folding doors opening to the garden, as well as internally to the sitting room.

    From the kitchen, a snug/TV room links through to a large playroom/utility, from which the current owners run a business, which also adjoins the sitting room, accentuating the circular flow to the property's layout. An en suite double bedroom (bedroom 6), office and separate cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

    A vaulted first floor landing accesses five bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom suite is particularly impressive. Vaulted and the entire width of the house, the dual-aspect bedroom has a dressing area with fitted wardrobes and full-suite bathroom with separate shower. Bedrooms two and three are each en suite, whilst bedroom four and five (currently used as a second office) share the well-appointed family bathroom.

    Outside
    Electric gates access the extensive gravel turning sweep to the front of the house, bordered by mature shrubs, trees and wrought iron fenced boundaries. An oversize tandem double garage adjoins the eastern side of the house, providing covered parking and storage for several vehicles.

    The north facing garden is designed for low maintenance, with Astroturf lawn and rubber crumb children's play area, framed to the rear by an orchard, with apple, cherry and fig trees, and kitchen garden, with seven raised beds. A timber decked terrace adjoins a “Dunster House“ summer house. Currently used as a gym, it would readily adapt as an outdoor office or hobby room.

I was truly astounded by the amount of accommodation this property has. Its amazing what can be achieved in terms of eco benefits for a large family home.
