5 bedroom detached house for sale

Impressive example of a contemporary home in an idyllic country setting.

Description

An extremely exciting contemporary home, designed by the architect Kate Stoddart, set in the picturesque village of Ewshot.

Originally a 1960’s house, the architect completely transformed the style, emphasizing clean lines and geometric shapes and extended the internal spaces. In addition to the main house, there is also a self-contained studio room set in one of the two gardens, that is ideal as a gym, home office or yoga studio.

The property is accessed via an impressive double height entrance hall with floor-to-ceiling glazing allowing plenty of natural light to flood through the central plan.

Perhaps the most spectacular room is set to one end of the house where there is an expansive open-plan living / kitchen / dining room which features full-height glazing, a log-burner and polished concrete floors with underfloor heating. This room has a wonderful dual aspect onto the two gardens on either side.

The ground floor accommodation also comprises a second reception room, currently used as a family room, a study, cloakroom and a generous utility room A beautifully crafted bespoke timber staircase leads up to the first floor. The principal bedroom suite, includes a dressing area and en suite bathroom.

The first floor accommodation also comprises a second bedroom with an en suite shower room as well as three further bedrooms and family bathroom. The architect has further enhanced the feeling of space with the use of natural light and vaulted ceilings.

The house offers two main garden areas, a more mature courtyard-style garden, ideal for outside dining, and a more open, west facing, lawned space with a table tennis area and patio.

The driveway offers sufficient space for multiple vehicles to be parked off-street.
