A Welcoming Entrance

From the sweeping drive, the entrance hall sets a confident tone. Wood-effect ceramic tiles guide the eye toward a full-height glass door framing the terrace and front lawn. Double-height skirting boards add refinement, and the oak staircase with its glass balustrade rises with sculptural clarity. Discreet storage sits beneath, keeping the space composed and uncluttered.

Modern Living

The open-plan kitchen, living and dining space forms the heart of the home. North-facing views give the room a grounded brightness that lasts throughout the day. The Adams Tebb painted wooden kitchen brings thoughtful craftsmanship, balanced by quartz worktops, glass splashbacks and brushed chrome hardware. A full-height pantry provides generous storage, while the contrasting grey island anchors the room with quiet purpose. Oak doors add warmth, and the integrated appliances — a microwave oven, two further ovens, a fridge and separate freezer — sit cleanly within the design.

A bespoke wooden banquette creates an inviting corner for relaxed breakfasts. Underfloor heating warms the continuous wood-effect tile flooring, and French doors open to the terrace, drawing in soft daylight all year.

“Cooking here never feels like a task. Everything is in the right place and the views keep you grounded.”

The space flows into the dining and sitting area, shaped by light from every side. Skylights draw it down from above, and glazing opens fully to terraces at the front and rear. A copper chandelier adds a gentle glow over a table that can seat ten, while a log burner on its stone hearth becomes the centre of the room on cooler evenings. Bifold doors lead to the front terrace, and French doors to the covered rear terrace, allowing the indoors and outdoors to meet with ease.

“It’s a room we use right from when we wake up to the end of the day.”

Practical Spaces

The utility room continues the home’s thoughtful detailing. Floor-to-ceiling cupboards provide generous storage, with dedicated space for a washer and tumble dryer. A sink sits neatly beneath Farrow and Ball Cooking Apple Green walls, and the flooring carries through seamlessly from the kitchen. A WC with wash hand basin sits just off the room, completing this practical corner.

Sumptuous Sitting Room

Off the hallway, the sitting room holds a sense of occasion without formality. A stone fireplace with its multi-fuel stove anchors the space, while light moves gently between the front and rear windows. In the bay, cushioned seating creates a natural place for reading or watching the garden through the seasons. Soft yellow-beige walls and an oatmeal carpet bring warmth, and hidden cabinetry keeps the television out of sight. French doors open to the terrace, strengthening the connection to the garden.

“The bay window has been a great space to read a book and watch the seasons change.”

A Room to Retire To

Upstairs, four spacious double bedrooms unfold, two with en-suite bathrooms, each shaped by its own character.

The principal bedroom enjoys a dual outlook, with northern views toward the hills and westerly views across the garden. Three large windows draw in steady natural light, and the oatmeal carpet creates a sense of ease. Oak doors open to the walk-in wardrobe, arranged with hanging rails, shelving and shoe storage. The en-suite continues the feeling of gentle luxury, with stone-effect tiles, a floating vanity and a generous shower lit by warm spotlighting.

“The morning light here is beautiful. It always feels like a great start to the day.”

The second en-suite bedroom feels calm throughout the day with its northern outlook. Fitted wardrobes and drawers sit neatly along one wall, and antique-style radiators and oak doors echo the finishes found elsewhere. The en-suite includes floor-to-ceiling tiling, a shower, wash hand basin and toilet.

Along the southern side of the home, another bedroom is naturally bright from morning to evening. Built-in dark wood wardrobes, a vanity desk and dovetailed drawers add function, while a walk-in wardrobe provides generous extra storage and keeps the room ordered.

At the far end of the landing, the final first-floor bedroom has its own distinct character. A built-in desk, storage cupboards and a full-height wardrobe sit neatly within the room, while a sliding door opens to a south-facing balcony with space for seating and views across the west garden. The oatmeal carpet and vintage-style radiator maintain the home’s consistent design language.

Rooms Beneath the Sky

The top floor holds two generous double bedrooms, each with an en-suite shower room. Sliding-door storage is built into the eaves, keeping the rooms ordered, while Velux Juliet-style windows draw in soft light. The calm palette of cream walls and oatmeal carpet continues across the floor. On the landing, two storage rooms sit beneath the roofline, accompanied by Velux windows that keep the space bright.

“These rooms are perfect for visitors. They feel tucked away and restful.”

Gardens That Shape the Day

The gardens wrap gently around the home, with fruit bushes and mature planting lining the boundaries. Lawned areas rise to stone terraces that create spots for morning coffee or late-afternoon dinner, each giving the garden moments of distinct character. The covered rear terrace features a wooden structure with glass roof panels that draw in natural light even in winter. A wooden shed doubles as a log store.

The summer house is a year-round space to watch the seasons shift, with a glass of wine in summer or a warming drink in winter. The lawn leads to a stone wall where there is room for a greenhouse, while a second log store beside the parking area keeps fuel neatly to hand.

“The gardens have given us the space to host parties that spill out onto the lawns.”

A Home Within a Home

A detached two-bedroom annexe sits to the rear, offering flexible accommodation for guests, multi-generational living or potential rental income. A ceramic-tiled utility room leads into the kitchen dining room with integrated appliances and a built-in bench seat. A ground floor shower room with WC and wash hand basin is conveniently situated off the kitchen diner. Beyond this, a generous sitting room centres around a log burner, creating a cosy focus while still large enough to act as a family room or workspace.

Upstairs, two double bedrooms make full use of the roof space with eaves wardrobes. A house bathroom with an over-bath shower completes the floor. Attached to the annexe, a single garage provides secure storage.

“The annexe has been of great use to us as extra space for guests and also renting out for additional income.”
