Unique Eco Home set within stunning landscaped gardens.
This exceptional home sits in a secluded position at the heart of the popular village of Balsham. Built with sustainability and efficiency in mind only 10 years ago, this one of a kind German Weber Eco House offers an exciting opportunity, set in breath-taking gardens and grounds which extend to just over five acres. The house is approached by a private gated driveway and is set over two and a half floors with sub-terrain living forming part of the layout, all under pitched aluminium roofs with south-facing solar panels. On the ground floor the entrance hall gives direct access to all rooms. The sitting room offers far reaching views over the gardens, including the pond, and is set around a corner fuel burner. Hidden sliding doors lead into the open plan kitchen/dining room with access to the outdoor terrace. The kitchen comprises of wall and floor storage, integrated double sink with mixer tap, inset induction hob, space for a fridge/freezer, plumbing for a dishwasher, and integrated oven and grill, as well as a pantry. A utility room is directly off the dining room, with a cloakroom and plumbing for laundry facilities. The exceptional principal bedroom benefits from the same views as the sitting room, with built in wardrobes and an en suite shower room with a walk in shower, twin sinks, panel bath with shower attachments, a bidet and low level WC. Completing the ground floor is an additional double bedroom and family bathroom, comprising of a walk in shower, panel bath, wash basin, low level WC and bidet.
A staircase and lift give access to all floors. On the mid-level are two further double bedrooms, one of which could be used as a home office. Further down the sub-terrain level is a fantastic entertaining reception space with exceptional flexibility as it can be divided by bi folding doors, and could be used as a games room/cinema room. There also two storage rooms that offer great practicality.
The private gated driveway provides ample off road parking. The front garden is south facing, containing a variety of planted borders and raised beds, with a paved terrace with a rain water recovery tank underneath. To the rear, the formal gardens come to life with a large pond and its own island. Pathways wind through wild flowers and mature trees to a large mound sitting to the rear of the gardens with a raised view of the show piece of the grounds. The Music Maze is well known locally and has been crafted into the shape of a treble clef and two horns, from approximately 1500 yews. The gardens and the paddock are separated by a public footpath which is also owned by the property, with two stables and a field shelter already in place.
