DESCRIPTION Harnser House is a wonderfully appointed family home enjoying an enviable position on the brow of Shotesham All Saints. The property was acquired in 2015 and has undergone a quite remarkable renovation doubling the size of the residence whilst creating a charming, yet contemporary feel throughout. The south facing façade comprised of floor to ceiling glass and Oak pillars interacts beautifully with the wrap around terrace of the property and whether it be from an internal or external aspect, the views across the manicured grounds of 1.328 acres (stms) are delightful.

The property is approached from the side into the main hall providing access to the vaulted 25"4' kitchen breakfast room. This charming space acts as the perfect cook's kitchen with central island complimented by a fine range of integrated appliances, the kitchen is handle-less providing a sleek, contemporary finish whilst enjoying a light and airy feel, with fine views and access out of over the terrace. The kitchen links in well with the dining room, again access is provided out onto the terrace and through to the snug/bedroom 3 and the inner hall; a theme which continues across the southeast façade.

The main sitting/family room enjoys an enlightening, Scandinavian feel with its vaulted ceiling and beams which flow beautifully across this 25"5' room. Sliding doors are arranged across the centre of Hanser House which open onto the main terrace.

There are a further five bedrooms in total positioned across the northern and southern aspects of the property. The principal bedroom suite enjoys a super en-suite shower room together with a dressing room and a staircase leads up in a mezzanine arrangement to a useful study space; again, bi-fold doors lead out onto the terrace. Bedrooms four and five are equally enchanting, arranged with galleried staircases providing any prospective buyer with a number of options being a dressing room, study or playroom. Further rooms comprise a family bathroom, utility room with boot room, and a shower room.

Harnser House is approached from the west onto an expansive gravelled carriage driveway with a large parking and turning area leading up to the garaging and house. The area is enclosed by hedging offering privacy from the minor road.

The majority of the gardens are to be found in front of the house, bordered by mature trees and foliage. The gardens enjoy many points of interest; particularly, the secret garden with a trail leading through a range of herbaceous flower beds and specimen plants. Beyond is a further enclosed garden which stretches away to the east and circulates around to the rear of the house. The expanse of lawn is substantial, with a number of fine trees within the grounds.

This is a lovely opportunity to live tucked away, with a great deal of privacy in a most desirable village setting.
