Kingfisher House is a substantial nine bedroom detached family house of brick elevations under a tiled roof and relieved by double glazed windows. The house enjoys the best of both worlds, being just 0.5 miles from the High Street yet enjoying a stunning location with views over the surrounding countryside. Set over three floors and at approx. 4135 square feet, the house offers a wonderful selection of accommodation and is beautifully presented throughout.
The large and welcoming entrance hall sets the tone for this family home, with the striking curved oak staircase and stylish Carrara marble floor. The house has been cleverly designed to offer great flexibility of space. It has light, well-proportioned rooms, with the heart of the house being the large kitchen / dining room. The modern kitchen, centred around the kitchen island, enjoys a two-oven Aga, granite work surfaces and a great selection of fitted units and integrated appliances. It really is a great entertaining room and has two sets of sliding doors leading out to the garden.
The main sitting room adjoins the kitchen and they share a double aspect wood burning stove. This room enjoys a particularly bright and airy feel given its south-westerly aspect, with lovely views out to the garden and countryside beyond.
There are two further reception spaces on the ground floor, which could have multiple uses including as a study, playroom or even home gym, depending on needs. An ample utility room (with side access for muddy boots/paws), a bespoke wine cellar set into the entrance hall floor and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
Heading upstairs, the first floor enjoys a large landing off which five of the bedrooms are accessed. The principal bedrooms benefits from an abundance of built in storage, access to the balcony and well equipped ensuite bathroom with separate shower. Two bedrooms have ensuite shower rooms and the well-appointed family bathroom serves all other bedrooms.
The top floor is accessed by two separate staircases, with two bedrooms either side.
Outside
The house is approached through wooden gates to a gravel drive offering parking for numerous vehicles. There is a detached triple carport offering additional parking of extra outside storage space.
The house sits in a total plot of c1.02 acres and the garden mainly laid to lawn and leads to the water meadow. There is a large, south-facing patio to the rear of the property which offers the ideal spot for alfresco dining in the sunnier months and from where you can enjoy the outstanding country views.
An adjoining paddock may be available by separate negotiation.
