5 bedroom detached house for sale

Ossicles is a stunning and unique house. Large open plan spaces are cleverly separated by glass to offer distinct reception areas. There is an overwhelming feeling of light and space that is enhanced by the dramatic vaulted ceilings and large amount of glass.

The property is entered through a large front door into the vaulted lobby where the glass walkway above leads to a partially suspended study. The kitchen and dining area have not sacrificed style over practicality and the kitchen accommodates a wall of lacquered cabinetry with Kuppersbush appliances housed within.

A limestone terrace runs the length of the dining and reception area with a wall of glass that opens completely, giving the sense the garden is an extension of the house.

The principal bedroom suite is located on this upper level and reached via a corridor with bespoke built in wardrobes, en suite bathroom and bedroom with vaulted ceiling and private balcony with wonderful views across the gardens. At garden level the remaining bedroom accommodation is found offering two guest suites and two further bedrooms which are served by a family bathroom all with their own individuality and style. Each bedroom has the benefit of a sliding glass wall that gives wonderful views and immediate access to the gardens.

Additional features include:
* Air Source Heat Pump
* Super Fast Broadband
* FFTP and CAT5 throughout
* Solar

Ossicles is approached through electric gates and up a private gravel driveway. The gardens, (approx 0.6 acres) are predominantly laid to lawn with mature shrubs, trees and borders. Planning permission was granted for a double garage designed to compliment the house. (Now lapsed but can be reapplied for).
