House For Sale £2,000,000
Stunning Tudor style property in exceptional position.
Description
Oak Manor is a modern Tudor style house which has been built to the highest exacting standards by the current owner to create a wonderful home in an incredible setting.
The house occupies one of what is arguably the finest positions in this much sought after village, just off “The Green” with attractive gardens and grounds which measure approximately 1.75 acres. Not only does the house look out over paddocks but also over and is next to Thriplow Meadows – a 3.5 hectare site of Special Scientific Interest with interesting flora.
The house, although Tudor in its style and sitting perfectly in its land, has all of the benefits of a modern house - only built at the beginning of the 21st century. The owners have painstakingly researched the construction and sourced original materials wherever possible so there are for instance; rounded plaster detailing around windows and doors, wide solid English oak flooring, antique terracotta flooring, exposed sand blasted brick work and timbers and large inglenook fireplaces all of which serve to create an incredible home.
Constructed of rendered, part clad, brick elevations beneath handmade clay tiles, Oak Manor measures approximately 3,896 sq ft and can be seen in more detail on the attached floor plan.
The property is approached via electrically operated gates to the front with a gravelled driveway and car parking leading to a detached triple bay cartlodge. The front gardens are laid mainly to lawn with well-established trees, bushes and shrubs providing shielding and privacy from The Green. A brick paved arched footpath leads to the front door under an oak framed storm porch.
The house opens into a wonderful reception hall with a large inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove, French doors that open onto a sheltered courtyard and timber decking area beyond and overlooks a large pond.
To the rear of the reception hall, steps lead down past a good size study with views over the rear garden, and beyond into an exceptional reception room with a brick inglenook with gas (bottled) stove and dual aspect views over the gardens.
To the right of reception hall is an Aga kitchen breakfast room with a large utility room attached. There is a wide array of modern and shaker style units with wooden stone and metal work surfaces, and a breakfast bar with views over the garden. The oil fired Aga is cleverly recessed in an Inglenook and adjoining is a triple aspect breakfast room.
A TV room/snug/games room or further study and large WC completes the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs there are five bedrooms, two of which are en suite and two family bathrooms. Of particular note is the exceptional main bedroom with an en suite shower room, two dressing rooms, a seating area and benefitting from gorgeous exposed timbers.
Outside to the rear of the house, the gardens are laid mainly to lawn with a large deck overlooking a feature pond, and well established perennial plant in beds bordering the house. There is a wide variety of well-established trees bushes and a small copse. A few good size sheds provide ample storage if required.
Oil fired central heating.
Private drainage.
Please note the property has planning permission for erection of a single storey detached annex (S/2080/19/fl).
