The home branches into two perfectly balanced wings, offering dedicated spaces for both high-energy family life and quiet productivity.

The Versatile Room

Immediately to the right, you’ll discover a reception room designed for the modern family's changing needs. Whether you envision a high-tech gaming suite, a vibrant playroom, or even a generous fifth bedroom, this space adapts to you. One entire wall is dedicated to a full-height, bespoke-made shelving and cupboard unit, masterfully crafted to keep toys, media, or personal treasures neatly tucked away. With built-in speakers ready to set the mood and a classic gas fireplace, (not currently in use) it’s a room that effortlessly transitions from a lively afternoon hub to a cozy evening retreat.

The Light-Filled Study

Directly opposite on the left of the hallway lies its sophisticated counterpart—a room that defines "peaceful and calm." Currently serving as a private study, it is the ultimate home office for those who require a professional environment that remains connected to the heart of the home. A grand bay window floods the room with exceptional natural light, while a second gas fireplace adds a touch of traditional "snug" comfort. It is an inspiring space, perfectly suited for creative work or quiet reflection away from the bustle of the main living areas.

As the L-shaped hallway turns, it reveals the true "engine room" of the home—a masterfully planned service wing designed to handle the beautiful chaos of country town living.

The Ultimate Utility & Mudroom

Discreetly positioned past a convenient downstairs cloakroom, the working back kitchen is a dream for the organised household. This expansive utility space offers dedicated housing for full-sized washing and drying machines, alongside a built in full-height fridge freezer. With a plethora of integrated storage, every household essential has a home, ensuring the main living areas remain pristine.

For those who enjoy the Great Outdoors, the deep-set sink with an extending hose is a stroke of genius—perfect for washing down muddy paws after a walk through the nearby woods or rinsing off boots after a day in the garden.

The Gardener’s Boot Room

The utility flows seamlessly into a dedicated boot room, providing direct access to the grounds.

It’s a practical, rugged, yet refined space that ensures the transition from the spectacular gardens to the "beautifully crafted interior" is effortless.

Returning to the main hallway, a set of elegant double-glazed doors acts as a portal into the home’s contemporary masterpiece: a vast, architecturally designed extension where neutral décor meets prisms of dancing light. This is more than just a room; it is a perfectly curated family hub—a breathtaking triple-purpose space encompassing a high-end kitchen, a sophisticated dining area, and an inviting sitting room.

The Social Heart: Dining & Decompressing

These are topped with stunning Ice Branco Quartz worktops, providing a crisp, durable surface that sparkles under the light of the Baker & Stonehouse chandeliers—which have been perfectly matched to those over the dining table for a cohesive, designer feel.
