Occupying a generous 0.8 acre plot, this stunning contemporary residence is presented in exceptional order offering bright and versatile accommodation including a self-contained annexe. The property has been designed to meet high efficiency standards with features including triple glazing, underfloor heating, remote climate control, smart lighting and blind systems, and a remotely-operated entrance gate.

The principal living accommodation is on the upper floor and is accessed via a broad bridge from the parking area. On entering, you are immediately struck by the sense of light and space with large expanses of full height windows, roof lights and cleverly partitioned open plan living spaces. To one side is a fitted kitchen with sleek grey and white units complemented by a range of Miele integrated appliances with ample room for a dining table and chairs whilst on the other side is a sitting area with free-standing multi-fuel stove and a study area overlooking the gardens. An informal seating area bridges the space in between offering superb views with all three areas having sliding doors opening onto the broad glass-fronted balcony.

Downstairs, the principal suite has sliding doors onto the terrace, a dressing room, a sumptuous en suite with a double shower and twin basins and a snug sitting area that could be altered to be a further bedroom. The guest bedroom also has an en suite shower room whilst the two further bedrooms have use of a family bathroom.

Across the drive, the annexe is ideal for use by guests or family members and offers a spacious sitting room with a kitchenette, a shower room and bedroom on the ground floor with a studio room over.

The property is situated towards the back of the plot to optimise the views over the gardens and beyond. To the front, a broad terrace with mature raised beds leads down to gardens that slope gently away from the house. The gardens are extensively planted and were laid out to create architectural interest, privacy and ease of maintenance with an array of tropical and specimen plants and sculptured borders all surrounding a gently undulating artificial lawn. To the rear, a further sheltered garden is ideal for al fresco entertaining and continues the theme of exotic planting and ease of maintenance. The driveway winds up the side of the garden to parking alongside the property and a double garage.
