Tenure: Freehold

The broad timber door opens into the L-shaped hallway with the first of several beautiful feature cruck beams which were imported from the defunct St. James Church, Preston during the former cottage's renovation in 1986. Tongue and groove latch doors throughout add to the fabric of the finish and the oak flooring here continues through into the family room, the cloakroom and the dining room.

The principal lounge has the ‘wow' factor with its striking conical vaulted ceiling and exposed rafters and beams rising above the semi-circular lounge with three pairs of French windows to the driveway and a further set to the conservatory. An additional feature is the exposed brick fireplace set into the full height column chimney breast which houses a pebble gas fire resting on a stainless steel plinth and which divides the room from the reading area and has a timber staircase which twists around to the first floor. The aura is further fashioned by the wall lighting and lamp points alongside and surrounding the wall mounted television space, creating a most appealing room. The adjoining and spacious conservatory with ceramic tiled flooring has a pine-built sauna to one side for ultimate relaxation, two combined ceiling fan and lights, air conditioning, television point and French windows to the garden.

Off the hallway, the dining room has a leaded window to the front, exposed beams and a solid oak spiral staircase to the first floor, illuminated by both pendant and wall lighting to create a relaxing ambience. A door leads into the dual aspect breakfast kitchen with under-tile heated flooring and a well appointed range of ivory coloured high gloss cabinets and coordinating maple doors and including a central island with drawer banks. The black granite work-surfaces incorporate a one and a half bowl sink unit with a spiral swan neck mixer tap positioned beneath the rear window and the central island has an inset five-ring gas hob with a suspended extractor fan over. Other appliances include twin inset eye-level Neff ovens with complementary microwave and coffee maker, an integrated automatic dishwasher and space for a larder style fridge freezer.

Also off the hallway is the impressive triple aspect family room with under-floor heating. The room is divided between a cinema room with a ceiling-mounted projector and an electric drop-down screen at one end and games room at the other, each end having two sets of French windows. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the cloakroom with glass wall mounted wash hand basin, wall mounted w.c., circular heated towel rail and illuminated storage cupboards to one wall and giving space for a tumble dryer and plumbing for an automatic washing machine along with ample linen storage shelves.

The vaulted first floor rooms are accessed via the first landing which has a double linen storage cupboard and leads around to the galleried office with fitted bookshelves and which overlooks the principal lounge. A door leads into the dual aspect bedroom with a built-in wardrobe and an en suite facility fitted with a wall mounted glass wash basin and a close coupled w.c. Bedroom two boasts a window seat to overlook the rear garden and a further door opens to the second landing space where you find the family bathroom with tiled flooring and a Villeroy & Boch contemporary fit melding into its beamed surround and comprising a vanity set ceramic wash bowl, a stand-alone bath tub with stand-pump style faucet and a close coupled w.c. Built-in cupboards to one end provide linen storage and a heated rail warms the towels. The dual aspect bedroom four has a range of built-in wardrobes and a door to the inset en suite with tile panelled bath, vanity mounted wash basin, close coupled w.c. and chrome heated towel rail. Last but certainly not least, the triple aspect master bedroom has an en suite with a tiled wet-room style shower cubicle, a vanity set wash basin with wall tap above and a wall mounted w.c. From this landing, the spiral staircase leads down to the dining room.

The property has a state of the art CCTV system which can be viewed remotely from anywhere in the world via tablet and smart phone application and is coupled with a monitored alarm system.

The property is approached via double wrought iron electronically controlled gates which open to the pebbled incline driveway which passes a mature shrub border and leads to a broad parking area for six/eight cars. The extensive lawn garden abuts the split-level stone flagged sun terrace and al fresco dining area with a raised viewpoint alongside the Japanese style garden with a pebbled path to the elevated box tree parterre garden. Exterior lighting surrounds the landscaped exterior creating a superb evening setting for this lovely home.
