Description

The Garth is an attractive detached property that has undergone a comprehensive project of extension and improvement to create a beautifully presented family home which was awarded the winners of Best Extension or Alteration to an Existing Home in 2017 Central Building Excellence Awards.

The well-planned layout combining traditional with contemporary provides light and space with features such as vaulted ceilings, under floor heating (including garage), Sonos sound system and a CCTV alarm system to both the house and outbuildings.

The arched entrance porch leads to the welcoming entrance hall and staircase to the first floor with a vaulted ceiling and flooded by natural light. The spectacular open plan kitchen/breakfast/living area spans the rear with double aspect bi-folding doors opening on to the patio areas. The flooring is marble tiled throughout with the kitchen area fitted with an extensive range of bespoke units with granite worktops and large breakfast bar island. Built-in appliances include a Siemens ceramic hob with pop up extractor, two Miele ovens, microwave and warming drawers together with integrated dishwater, fridge/freezer and wine cooler. There is also Rako lighting in the kitchen/dining area and living area.

The adjoining utility room provides access to the enclosed side porch, garage and staircase to the studio/annexe above.

The cosy sitting room has an attractive square bay window to the side and a feature fireplace with a wood burner, a cinema system and woodblock flooring following through from the entrance hallway.

On the first floor of the main part there are three bedrooms, with vaulted ceilings, the main with a matching square bay window and range of fitted wardrobes. A contemporary en-suite shower room provides access to an idyllic glass balustrade balcony which overlooks the gardens and paddocks. There is a similarly well-appointed family bathroom incorporating a jacuzzi bath with an Aqua TV and large steam shower.

Above the double garage is a versatile room with an en-suite bathroom ideal as a studio, guest or teenager's suite or could incorporate the garage to create a potential annexe facility.

A further feature is the setting and land of southerly aspect to the rear and measuring in total approaching 2.5 acres which will undoubtedly appeal to the equestrian enthusiast with a row of outbuildings incorporating two stables, tack room/storeroom and enclosed double barn.

The previously mentioned garage with an insulated remote roller doors has a garden cloak/shower room. There is access to the side with plenty of additional parking space for cars, horse boxes and trailers.

The paddock land is divided into four post and rail/stock fenced paddocks with a field shelter, log stores, a kitchen garden and a lovely woodland walk has been created around the perimeter.

The more formal garden to the rear and side of the house is well established and private with raised part covered decking with inset hot tub, paved patio, circular pond and flower and shrub beds.
