* NO UPPER CHAIN * AN ENERGY EFFICIENT ARCHITECT DESIGNED DETACHED HOUSE ENJOYING A WONDERFUL POSITION OVERLOOKING VILLAGE GREEN WITH OPEN RURAL OUTLOOK TO THE REAR

This bespoke and individual property was designed by the current vendor who wished to create a house with both a contemporary and traditional feel to it yet making sure it took maximum advantage of its location and views which it certainly does.

Equally important in the design of the property was to incorporate technology to enable the running cost to be as low as possible. Solar PV panels on the roof provide electricity to run the electric underfloor heating and all electrical appliances. The property also benefits from solar gain from the large picture windows on the south west facing rear elevation. Electric costs for the last year stood at £500 after taking into account the feed-in tariff.

A viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the inherent qualities of this house and the lifestyle opportunities on offer.

Steps lead up to the glazed front door which opens into a galleried landing which doubles up as a reception hall on the first floor. At the end of hall is the vaulted open plan living room which enjoys stunning elevated views over open rolling countryside. The sitting area is partly divided from the kitchen/dining room and French doors from the dining room end open onto a large balcony which acts as an outdoor room with seating and dining areas.

The bespoke kitchen was supplied by Wychwood Kitchens from the village. The kitchen units are partly walnut and painted and offer generous storage along with full height walk-in corner pantry cupboard. Integral fitted appliances include Stoves oven with microwave above, five ring gas hob with extractor fan, dishwasher, wine cooler and large fridge/freezer.

The stainless steel sink has an insinkerator waste disposal unit and there is a micro lift running down to the garage enabling shopping to be transferred easily up to the first floor. The Velux roof lights are electrically operated and the kitchen benefits from quartz work surfaces.

Lying between the living room and the master bedroom is the cloakroom which doubles up as a utility room with dryer and washing machine. The master bedroom enjoys great proportions with stunning views over the attractive village green. A run of full height fitted oak wardrobes run along one wall with one housing the pressurised hot water cylinder with slatted drying shelves above. The master bedroom has an en suite shower room.

GROUND FLOOR

Stairs lead down to the ground floor with two spacious double bedrooms lying to the rear with one currently utilised as a home office. The second bedroom has a run of fitted oak wardrobes and enjoys direct access into the rear garden. Both bedrooms have external electrically operated shutters for added insulation and security. At the end of the inner hall is a fully tiled en suite shower room and the hall also offers access to an internal room, currently utilised as gym/wine cellar and lends itself for conversion to a great home cinema room. There is also a useful under stairs storage cupboard. The generous integral garage can be accessed from the hall and has Hormann up and over electric roller door opening onto the drive.

OUTSIDE

A stone wall defines the front boundary with five bar wooden field gate opening onto tarmac drive providing off road parking and access to the integral double garage. Steps lead off the drive up to the front door with paths running either side of the house offering access to the rear garden which backs onto open countryside. The rear south west facing garden is enclosed by close boarded fencing and is split level with the lower level having artificial grass with steps up to a raised decked seating area and timber summerhouse in the corner. Running along the western side of the house is a well stocked herbaceous border.
