5 bedroom detached house for sale

Lichen House

Accessed via a private road, Lichen House offers over 4,900 sq ft of exceptional living space within Tanfield Farm, an exclusive and prestigious development. Since acquiring the property from new, the current owners have significantly enhanced the specification to an outstanding standard, investing extensively to create a home of remarkable quality and sophistication.

Please refer to the full property specification listed below the description.

The main residence comprises five spacious double bedrooms and five luxurious bathrooms, forming a fully integrated smart home set behind a gated driveway. The property also benefits from a detached triple garage with a self-contained, fully fitted annexe above, providing excellent additional accommodation for guests or extended family.

The principal bedroom suite enjoys breathtaking countryside views through floor-to-ceiling windows, complemented by a bespoke walk-in dressing room and an elegant en-suite bathroom. The home features wet underfloor heating throughout the ground and first floors, with meticulous attention paid to every detail in the design and finish. Lichen House has been constructed and specified with a no-expense-spared approach, resulting in a truly superior residence.

At the heart of the home is a bespoke kitchen fitted with an exceptional range of premium appliances, including Sub-Zero refrigeration and four Gaggenau ovens (please see the full list below). The property further benefits from MVHR heat recovery and whole-house ventilation, as well as air-conditioning, ensuring year-round comfort.

Set centrally within a generous plot, the property enjoys wrap-around landscaped gardens overlooking open countryside and mature woodland beyond. The expansive patio areas extend around two sides of the garden, thoughtfully designed to maximise sunlight throughout the day and provide the perfect setting for both entertaining and relaxation. An outdoor kitchen enhances the space further, while a fully fitted outbuilding currently used as a gym offers additional lifestyle flexibility.

Lichen House is a property that truly must be experienced in person to fully appreciate both its exceptional specification and its wonderfully private setting. Early viewing is highly recommended.
