Property Description: Guide Price £600,000 - £650,000. This individual, energy efficient, family home has been designed for modern living. The light and spacious living area, with ceiling up to the eaves, connects with the outside space through a full height glazed wall. The doors from the kitchen open out onto a deck and the garden, giving a feeling of 'inside out'.

Step through the front door into a hallway with reclaimed herring-bone design oak floor, and you are met with a contemporary feature stair case. This sets the tone of the house where design, modern carpentry and a feeling of space feature heavily. The staircase is lined with slatted wood which allows light to flood through. This leads up to the main kitchen/living room with a large island, a dining space and a seating area to relax with the dual fuel wood-burner. It also has all the mod-cons you would expect in a property of this calibre, including Neff cooker and steam oven, a built in fridge/freezer, dishwasher and Tesla hob with extraction. This room is the heart of the home and is perfect for family living and a fabulous entertaining space. If that's not enough, stairs lead up from the kitchen to an additional mezzanine sitting area.

The 'wow' of this house is certainly the kitchen and open plan living with its connection to the garden. The plot lends itself absolutely to a house set up with "upside down living" - which is not always the case... The living area is flooded with natural light and has a real connection to the garden and the bedrooms are much larger than one would normally expect from a house of these proportions. All four bedroom are doubles and the main bedroom has extensive built in wardrobes and an en-suite. The statement family bathroom, with shower, is spacious and stylish. There is also a laundry room and boot room along with plenty of storage.

The accommodation is flexible and there are two separate rooms on the first floor that are currently set up as a snug and a study but either of these rooms could be used as a play room or an extra bedroom.

Modern technology has been used to great affect in this house to make it both efficient and easy to live in. The heating is provided by an air source heat pump and there is underfloor heating throughout. That, coupled with the insulation and double glazing, means that this is a comfortable and relatively inexpensive house to run. It also has the benefit of 3-phase electricity supply and is set up ready for the next owners to increase the energy efficiency of the home by adding solar panels to the roof.

Outside: Throw open the glazed doors from the kitchen and you are onto the covered deck and then onto the good-sized level garden with lawned area with further space for chickens and a vegetable patch if you are looking for a bit of the 'good life'.

A drive way leads to the front of the property with plenty of space for parking as well as the garage.
