Spectacular award winning contemporary family home in sought after village
Ashley House is a superb contemporary family home, completed in 2019 and awarded the Best Contemporary-style Self Build in the Daily Telegraph Homebuilding and Renovating Awards in 2020. The plot has been within the family since 1972 and has been thoughtfully redeveloped and is available for the first time in over 50 years.
The stunning design gives the impression of two structures linked by a beautiful glazed atrium with a single storey open plan living space added and wrapped around the kitchen/dining room. This gives a large open plan living room space that is double aspect with sliding doors to the rear garden. It has a feature brick fireplace housing a wood burning stove. This space opens to the kitchen and dining area with windows overlooking the rear garden. The kitchen has a range of built-in units, a breakfast bar and a wall of cupboards/storage. Integrated appliances include a single oven, induction hob with extractor above, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. Across the vaulted hallway is a family room, study, utility, cloakroom and WC. All the joinery within the property is hand made and bespoke from solid birch ply.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom, featuring an en suite shower room and built-in wardrobes, along with the guest bedroom, which has an en suite bathroom and built-in wardrobes, are situated on one side of the landing. On the other side, there are three additional bedrooms and a family bathroom, all connected by a galleried landing.
All rooms are light and spacious and flooded with light from the large windows taking full advantage of this lovely setting overlooking the adjoining agricultural land.
Outside
Ashley House is accessed from the road via double electric gates with entryphone system. The gates open to a large gravel parking area with space for several cars to the front of the house and double garage. The house sits centrally within its plot and the surrounding garden is landscaped, being laid mainly to lawn interspersed with grasses. Mature trees and hedges to boundaries provide privacy while taking advantage of the setting and outlook over the countryside to the rear.
A spacious terrace runs around the rear of the house, accessed from the sitting and dining room. This partially covered terrace provides the perfect place to enjoy the beautiful surroundings in a sheltered location, perfect for entertaining.
