Description

This impressive, detached family home is set within the picturesque conservation village of Horbling, occupying a corner plot within an exclusive private development of just seven executive properties. Built in 2007, the house offers bright, contemporary interiors with flexible accommodation and a calm, natural palette throughout.

The property offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, alongside two further reception rooms, a utility room, and an integral double garage.

The layout is ideally suited to modern family life and entertaining, with generous proportions, excellent natural light, and far-reaching countryside views across the adjoining fields.

A large central entrance hall immediately sets the tone for the home, offering an impressive sense of scale and acting as the hub from which all principal rooms are accessed. Light flows beautifully through the space, reinforcing the home’s open and airy feel and providing an ideal blank canvas for a new owner to personalise.

To the right, the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the heart of the home. Finished with modern cabinetry, the kitchen is centred around a substantial island incorporating integrated appliances, power points, and informal seating, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining and space for a freestanding fridge, freezer, and dishwasher.

There is ample room for a large dining table and relaxed seating area, enhanced by the triple-aspect layout and bi-folding doors which open directly onto the garden. These provide not only excellent natural light throughout the day but also uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the utility room offers additional storage, a secondary sink and space for laundry appliances, with a door leading directly into the integral double garage.

To the left of the entrance hall, the spacious dual-aspect sitting room is both elegant and inviting, featuring a bay window to one end and French doors opening onto the garden at the other.

A further central reception room is currently arranged as a ground-floor bedroom but offers excellent flexibility, lending itself equally well to use as a study, playroom, snug or additional reception space, depending on a buyer’s needs. A cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor.

Ascending to the first floor, a spacious landing provides access to the bedrooms, all of which benefit from en suite facilities. The impressive principal bedroom enjoys a double-aspect outlook with far-reaching countryside views, generous proportions allowing for fitted wardrobes, and a stylish en suite shower room with twin basins. Bedroom two features built-in wardrobes and a well-appointed en suite bathroom with both a bath and separate shower.

Outside, the property continues to impress. To the front, a large gravel driveway provides ample off-street parking and leads to the integral double garage, both garages being fitted with electric roller doors. An EV charging point is also installed, catering to modern requirements.

The rear garden is a particular highlight. Principally laid to lawn the enclosed closed with established hedging, offering a good degree of privacy while still allowing the property to enjoy its open outlook. A generous paved patio area spans the rear of the house, providing an ideal space for alfresco dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful rural setting. The open views across neighbouring fields give the garden a wonderfully spacious feel and enhance the connection to the surrounding countryside.
