With uninterrupted views across rolling countryside, this striking contemporary home occupies a sumptuous plot just over 0.5 acres with generous gardens encompassing the property, providing the ultimate luxurious country lifestyle.
This is a home of tremendous quality which is apparent from the moment you step into the stunning reception hall with its double height ceiling and floating oak staircase which proves to be a real focal point. The property covers an impressive 4318 sq ft (409 sq m) of lavish accommodation sprawling over three floors with rooms palatial in size; you will find it very difficult to rival its magnitude and specification.
The spectacular open plan kitchen/dining/family room is the fulcrum of this substantial home and boasts amazing dual-aspect views via double height windows and sliding doors that open to the garden areas, creating the seamless blend of outside-inside living.
The kitchen itself features a bespoke range of cabinetry, complemented by Corian work surfaces, integrated 'Siemens' appliances and a central island. A very handy and equally well-equipped utility room is adjacent to the kitchen with further access to the garden.
Two more superb reception rooms benefit the vast ground floor, a surround sound cinema room and a dual aspect lounge.
An incredible galleried landing with a glass panelled gantry overlooking the reception hall presents four double bedrooms, two with en-suite and dressing room facilities, whilst a large family bathroom concludes the first floor. The Principal Suite has an immediate 'WOW' factor, featuring a vaulted ceiling and access to a balcony which spans the full width of the room providing the perfect vantage point to enjoy those views across countryside and amazing sunsets.
An additional oak staircase rises to the second floor which accommodates two further double bedrooms and a shower room. This entire floor lends itself perfectly to an older child seeking independence or those working from home who need their own private space.
Despite its size, this well designed home is extremely economical to run thanks to a low carbon air source heat pump, ensuring you will never have to worry about the running costs usually associated with homes of this size. Smart technology such as a 'Lutron' smart lighting system, built in 'Sonos' speakers and remote controlled electric blinds ensures that you have luxury and comfort at the click of a button. Additional features include underfloor heating and air conditioning throughout.
The property overlooks and forms part of a four acre meadow with 25% shared ownership of the grounds. The house is approached via pillared electric gates which open onto a huge driveway and enclosed completely by hedging and fencing. A detached double garage with ample storage and remote controlled door is situated at the bottom of the plot with a path that leads up to the house.
Location:
Preston is a sought after and charming village just on the outskirts of Canterbury and the beautiful open spaces of Stodmarsh National Nature Reserve. The village has a well regarded primary school, farm shop, a renowned butcher and village pub.
The cathedral city of Canterbury provides extensive shopping, leisure, and cultural facilities and is home to the Marlowe Theatre. There is a superb range of schools, colleges and universities in the surrounding area, including The King's Schools, St Edmunds and the Simon Langton Grammar schools.
The coastal towns of Sandwich, Margate and Ramsgate are also close by in one direction as well as Herne Bay, Tankerton and Whitstable in the other.
