Main Description

Nestled within an exclusive cul de sac and enveloped by mature woodland, this architect-designed four-bedroom detached residence has been thoughtfully created to maximise its unique setting, with large expanses of glazing drawing the surrounding nature into the home at every opportunity. From the moment you step into the spacious entrance hall, the quality of finish and carefully considered layout is immediately apparent, with natural light pouring through overhead glazing.

The property adopts an “upside-down” configuration, perfectly designed to take full advantage of its elevated woodland position. You enter on the upper floor into a generous, light-filled hallway, with a staircase leading down to the bedroom accommodation. This level also hosts a separate sitting room complete with a log burner and direct access onto the terrace, creating a warm and inviting retreat.

The terrace itself wraps around the upper floor, seamlessly connecting the living space, kitchen, and lounge, and offering multiple elevated seating areas from which to enjoy the peaceful woodland surroundings.

At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed open-plan kitchen and dining area, flowing effortlessly into the main living space. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, these areas are flooded with natural light through expansive glazing, while carefully integrated lighting enhances the ambience into the evening. The connection between inside and out is a defining feature, with views extending over the landscaped garden and into the woodland beyond.

Underfloor heating runs throughout the entire property, ensuring consistent comfort and efficiency across all seasons.

The principal suite is a standout feature, generously proportioned and thoughtfully arranged to include a dedicated dressing area, which leads through to a well-appointed en suite shower room. The bedroom itself enjoys direct access to a private lower ground patio, providing a secluded space to relax and unwind. Three further double bedrooms are all well-sized and versatile, ideal for family living, guests, or home working. A stylish family bathroom serves as an en suite to bedroom three and the second bedroom has a privatel en suite complete the accommodation.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The landscaped rear garden has been carefully designed to complement the natural surroundings, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. The integral garage provides secure parking and internal access, with a useful utility room to the rear, fully plumbed for appliances and offering direct access to the terraced seating area. Above the garage, an attic room with power and lighting presents a highly versatile space, ideal for a home office, studio, or additional storage.

Combining striking architectural design, high-quality finishes, and a truly enviable woodland setting, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive home offering both privacy and convenience in equal measure.
