Individual village house with gardens, stabling and land.
Cripps Hill House enjoys an idyllic setting, with glorious countryside views and set within its own delightful gardens and grounds, extending to about 4.19 acres in all. The property was built in 2011 to a high specification and offers family accommodation over three floors with an abundance of character and charm. The house benefits from equestrian facilities with three paddocks and stabling.
The vaulted reception hall, with a guest cloakroom, galleried landing above and wood flooring extending to most of the ground and first floors, creates a wonderful first impression. The dual aspect sitting room is beautifully proportioned and enjoys superb views, with French doors opening on to the garden and terrace to the rear. A fireplace with a dual-fuel wood burner gives a focal point flanked by bespoke built-in shelving on either side. The kitchen/breakfast/dining room affords a fabulous family space, with an array of fitted units, complemented by wood worktops. Integrated appliances include a gas hob, extractor, two ovens, two built-in fridges and a dishwasher. A large central island gives further storage and useful breakfast bar seating. In the dining area, bi-fold doors open to the garden creating a perfect indoor/outdoor entertaining space. Just off the kitchen is a good sized fully fitted utility room. There is underfloor heating on the ground and first floors with radiators on the second floor.
From the reception hall the bespoke oak staircase is a real feature, leading to the spacious, galleried landing. On the first floor the principal bedroom enjoys a triple aspect and a balcony taking full advantage of the views. There is a fully fitted dressing room and a luxurious en suite shower room. There are two further bedrooms and a beautifully appointed family bathroom. Both bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and one enjoys an en suite shower room and access to the balcony. On the top floor are two additional characterful bedrooms, both with a triple aspect, built-in wardrobes and far reaching views, together with a family shower room.

A gated gravelled driveway provides ample parking and leads to a double garage and attached log store. Both the front and rear gardens are attractively landscaped with well stocked beds and borders. The rear garden, enclosed with post and rail fencing, is delightful with a large area of lawn interspersed with specimen trees including oak, larch, willow, apple, pear and cherry trees. Highlights include a beautiful wildlife pond, brimming with activity, and an enclosed chicken run. Of particular note is a gated quiet retreat, providing a private meditation space. A wide stone terrace adjoins the rear of the house giving an ideal spot for outside dining and to enjoy the garden. Behind the garage is the gated hardstanding yard, with three large stables and a tack room. Adjacent is a further stable and two goat enclosures. Beyond here are three large paddocks. The boundaries are well enclosed with mature trees and shrubs.
