Property Description: Guide Price £2,000,000 - £2,300,000. This is a unique opportunity to purchase a spectacular 5/6 bed family home built to the highest eco and EMF standards on the outskirts of Croscombe with commanding views of the village and valley beyond. The property has been designed with extraordinary attention to detail in a contemporary style using materials that ensure it sits seamlessly in its location. Just under 4000 square feet (including balcony) of light and elegant accommodation have been created with this stunning new build, all with eco-friendly, energy efficient, healthy living and anti-allergy principals in mind.

You enter the house across a bridge from the rear and come in to a spacious and airy entrance hall. It is from here that you get your first sense of the breathtaking views that await from the sitting room straight ahead of you and the open plan kitchen, dining and informal seating that lie to your right. The kitchen has been hand-built using the finest materials with ebony granite work surfaces and is equipped with an integrated fridge, a separate integrated freezer, 2 dishwashers and a boiling tap. All cooking appliances are top of the range Miele, which include a combi-steam oven, a full size oven, a warming drawer and gas hob. There is also a fitted back kitchen with an additional sink, a combi-microwave, a vacuum drawer and an additional fridge.

To the first floor there is a good-sized room that is currently being used as a study. This could, if needed, be an additional bedroom and has disabled access with easy passage to a cloakroom area and a wet room. There are five further bedrooms downstairs, four of which have floor to ceiling sliding windows which look southwest across the village and open onto the formal garden terrace. The principal suite is magnificent with generous proportions and double aspect views to the south and west. To the west there is a covered terrace that houses a hot tub and storage and leads directly to the garden. There is an en-suite bathroom with a Lusso bath, a walk-in rain shower and twin basins. The suite is completed with a large dressing room. The bedrooms to the east of the property have been designed so that they can be shut off from the rest of the house and form a self-contained flat with two wet rooms, a separate entrance and a mini kitchen. There is a further family wet room and a laundry room with sink and storage to the ground floor.

Outside: There are electric gates to the north entrance of the property with space for parking for multiple cars to the rear and side of the house. The plot is just under an acre of south facing, very private landscaped gardens. There is a sheltered terrace at the top of the garden that catches the morning sun. You can also see the sunset from the terrace reflected in the expansive kitchen windows. The whole garden has been created with the “room principal” in mind so that there are several spaces all with a very different feel. At the bottom of the garden is a second drive with triple garage to the left. This has planning permission to be rebuilt creating a 4-bay garage with rooms above providing scope for office space or other uses. (2018/2972/FUL).
