Mulberry House, positioned on the right, enjoys far-reaching southerly views across open farmland. The property has been designed with energy efficiency in mind, featuring high-quality finishes throughout and an abundance of natural light.

A stone path bordered by estate fencing leads to the front entrance, opening into a striking reception hall with a double-height stairwell and overhead skylight. The heart of the home is the expansive open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, designed to maximise light with floor-to-ceiling bi-fold doors that frame breathtaking views. Dijon limestone flooring enhances the sense of space, and bespoke kitchen cabinetry in deep blue and silver grey is complemented by white quartz work surfaces and high-spec stainless steel appliances.

A separate utility room, fitted with matching cabinetry, provides additional storage and access to the garden. A convenient ‘Jack and Jill’ cloakroom connects both the utility and reception hall. The sitting room, equally spacious, features a contemporary wood-burning stove and floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening to the garden, creating a wonderful space for entertaining or relaxation.

On the first floor, a generous landing leads to a stunning principal suite with a spectacular oak and glass apex window, Juliet balcony, dressing area, and stylish en-suite shower room; a second en-suite bedroom and three further bedrooms with a family bathroom.

Outside

Mulberry House benefits from beautifully landscaped gardens that extend to approximately ¾ acre. To the rear, a veranda extends from the sitting room onto a stone terrace, perfect for al fresco dining. A separate paved area has been designed with a brick base, ideal for a pizza oven. The expansive lawn is enclosed by post-and-rail fencing, with laurel hedging and close-board fencing to the sides, ensuring privacy.

A gravel driveway leads to the double garage with parking for two cars in front. Above the double garage, a versatile eaves room is accessed via an external staircase, offering an ideal space for a gym, office, or additional guest accommodation.
