Outstanding and spacious modern country house
Inchgreen is an outstanding and conveniently located modern country house, with views over open countryside and towards the hills. Completed in 2007, it was built on the site of a former farm cottage by a well known local building contractor, McPherson Construction Ltd, for the principal of the company, and has since remained as the family home. As such it was built and finished to a particularly high standard. There is a date stone of 2006 above the porch. The house is most attractively finished in a smooth white render with a slate roof, and while modern has a traditional country feel. Internally the house has extensive and flexible accommodation, which is very well presented.
Inchgreen benefits from underfloor heating on the ground floor, including the garage, as well as in the en suites, bathroom, landing and playroom, at first floor level. There is Travertine tiled flooring in the porch, hallway, WC, dining kitchen, living room, back hall and utility room. The house is triple glazed and has solar panels which reduce running costs and provide a useful income. It is, therefore, an energy-efficient house which sits well within its own enclosed gardens and is ideal for both modern family living and entertaining.
An entrance porch opens to a welcoming hallway with a staircase to the first floor, understairs cupboard and French doors to the garden. Off this is a double aspect dining room and a fine triple aspect sitting room which also has doors to the garden, as well as a warming wood burning stove and is HDM wired for a wall mounted TV. A useful partially tiled WC has a washbasin. The fabulous solid oak kitchen has iroko wooden worktops, tiled splashbacks, double sink and central island with a prep sink. Appliances include a Samsung fridge/freezer with ice and water dispenser, Belling Kensington range cooker with extractor, Whirlpool dishwasher and an AEG microwave. In addition, there is a dining area and a walk in larder. Beyond is a living room with a wood burning stove and French doors to the garden. A back hall has a side entrance door, shelved cupboard and stairs to the first floor. The office has fitted desks and shelves, while the utility room has fitted units, sink, plumbing for a washing machine and a storage cupboard. A partially tiled WC has a washbasin, while part of the integral garage is used as a gym/storeroom, with a cupboard housing a Grant oil fired boiler.
The landing has a hatch with attic ladder to a floored attic. Bedroom one has a partially tiled en suite with shower, washbasin and WC. The principal bedroom has a built-in wardrobe and a partially tiled en suite with shower, washbasin and WC. Bedrooms three, four, five and six all have a built-in wardrobe, while the tiled family bathroom has a bath, shower, washbasin, WC and shelved cupboards. A playroom has a walk in cupboard and a hatch with attic ladder to a floored storage area overlooking the playroom with access to roof space.
The lovely gardens surround the house and are enclosed by hedges and include lawns, flower and shrub borders, as well as a tree/playhouse. There is wooden decking attached to the living room, perfect for afternoon and evening light, as well as further decking and gravelled seating areas to the rear. To the side is tarred parking.
