Description

Kiln House is an impressive six bedroom family home. Built in 2006 it provides substantial accommodation of approximately 4,500 sq ft arranged over two floors.

The generous rooms offer flexibility of use and take full advantage of the location with doors opening to the gardens from the main reception rooms and three of the bedrooms have balconies overlooking the surrounding countryside.

The property is beautifully presented and benefits from high quality fittings and oak joinery throughout. Great thought has been given to the situation of the house with large windows and doors providing an abundance of natural light.

A solid oak front door opens to an entrance porch with vaulted ceiling leading to the spacious, light and airy reception hall with wood flooring and doors to the main reception rooms. The sitting room is well proportioned and triple aspect with exposed beams, a large open fireplace and doors opening to the side and rear gardens. Full height glazed panels and doors open from the hall to the dining/games room with large windows and door opening to the front garden.

The wonderful kitchen/breakfast room has an excellent range of wall and floor units housing built-in appliances including a double oven, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and a 4-oven Aga. This opens to the family room which has an open fireplace and doors to the rear garden and terrace. To the first floor the magnificent principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers, a dressing room, built-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. It is double aspect with doors opening to a large balcony overlooking the gardens. There are five further bedrooms, four with en suite shower rooms and two also benefitting from balconies.
