Built to a high specification with meticulous attention to detail, The Spinney sits in an elevated position with far reaching views over unspoilt countryside. The house has been imaginatively designed with an emphasis on thermal efficiency. Constructed of local stone under a tiled roof with an attractive slate covered oak porch, the property is double glazed with aluminium framed windows, all with oak lintels over.
Attributes include constant fresh air supply via mechanical ventilation with heat recovery system, under floor heating via an air source heat pump, a direct pressure plumbing system and a water softener. Air conditioning has been installed in the sitting room, the master bedroom and in bedroom 6. The rooms are generously proportioned with a large dining/kitchen/sitting room with quartz worktops, Neff induction hob and ovens, a hot tap providing boiling water, a powerful Faber extraction fan, Neff dishwasher and Bloomberg fridge/freezer.
There are spectacular views from every room. The outlook is further enhanced by the fully retractable bi-fold doors found in the dining/kitchen/sitting room, drawing room and principal bedroom which additionally benefits from a generous balcony.
