House For Sale £2,000,000
The current owners have thoroughly refurbished, renovated and extended the house to create a light and bright contemporary family space. All windows have been replaced with modern powder coated, double-glazed aluminium – around the home windows have been moved, replaced and re-sized to take advantage of the views and to provide natural light to all rooms.
Hurston House is approached via a quiet lane and the property is accessed through a gated in-and-out gravel drive. Parking is plentiful on the gravel and the property benefits from a large double garage.
The extensive entrance hall has been completely remodelled to provide a light filled room, with solid oak stairs rising to the first floor. Opening from the hall is a spacious study with a double aspect overlooking the drive. At the heart of the home is a warm, modern and comfortable family living space running front to back with a sweep of bi-fold doors opening onto the garden terrace. This room is open plan to the kitchen area, with a range of fully fitted units and storage cupboards and quartz work tops. A boot room opens from the kitchen and contains a separate w/c, larder and laundry room, before opening on to the ‘L’ shaped garden room, with side access to the garage and access to the front drive.
From the family living area double glazed doors open onto the sitting room. Also running front to back this sizeable room has a large feature fireplace in mellow local brick as the central point, triple aspect windows ensure it is full of light and French doors open onto the garden.
Upstairs, a luxurious principal suite has been created, with a substantial bathroom, dressing and wardrobe space as well as a further room, currently used as a dressing room, but generous enough to act as a fifth bedroom if needed. The principal bedroom has large windows with fabulous southerly, westerly and northerly views across open countryside. There are a further three double bedrooms and two family bathrooms.
The owners have installed a ground source heat pump and solar panels on the south facing aspects of the stables. Combined with underfloor heating to the majority of the ground floor and advanced ceiling heat panels throughout the rest of the house, all capable of independent control via Wi-Fi, they have created a very energy efficient, low cost heating system.
The south facing rear garden is overlooked by a sunny brick terrace and is mainly laid to lawn, with mature trees and shrubs. The eastern, southern and western aspect enjoy far reaching views. To the west of the garden is an attractive orchard with maturing greengage, pear, apple, cherry and plum trees surrounded by beech hedging.
Further outbuildings include: Garden shed, open store with electricity connected, two log stores one of which has electricity and an automatic light. There are four stables, two tack rooms and a hay store.
The double garage has electric up and over doors, power, lighting and under stairs storage. A workshop is located within the garage with an array of storage and workbenches. Stairs lead to an office or hobbies room with a continuous work surface and multiple power points and cat 6 cabling.
The more extensive grounds surrounding the property comprise of grazing and woodland, planted in coppices of mixed native trees including Oak, Ash, Cherry and Hazel.
