House For Sale £700,000
A beautifully designed and contemporary low energy detached family home, set on a generous and private corner plot on the edge of this sought after village.
Description
This fantastic family home has been designed to exacting standards by the current owners who have combined the charm and character of its original period facade, with a striking contemporary renovation and extension. Once the village Police station, today its interior has been transformed to offer an exceptional and modern lifestyle that is both stylish and impressively eco-efficient. Designed to offer beautiful vistas, from the imported Italian floors to the solar panels and heat pump, every aspect demonstrates attention to detail and is finished to a superb specification. Stylish and sophisticated yet family friendly, the fluid layout unfolds from a central hallway and flows seamlessly into a spacious 43' kitchen/dining/living room. An additional reception room is ideal for spending time together, and a well-presented utility room is a considered addition. To the first floor, there are five bedrooms including a principal en suite with walk-in dressing room, and four further bedrooms (one with en suite) and family bathroom.
In more detail, the accommodation extends to around 2,980 sq ft and is filled with natural light from an abundance of anthracite framed windows looking out onto the gardens. Instantly generating a sense of space, the herringbone floor of the central entrance hall flows fluidly into a fantastic 43ft triple aspect kitchen/dining/living room. Bi-fold doors connect with the landscaped gardens, whilst the bespoke kitchen is extremely well appointed with beautifully crafted units with Minerva worktops and a matching central island with solid wood worktop and four ring Elica venting induction hob. An array of high specification integrated appliances provide every convenience, including two dual flex Samsung ovens, a dishwasher and integrated fridge/freezers and the expansive open plan dimensions are equally suited for family meals and evenings entertaining friends. An additional sitting room is wonderfully lit with large bay window and also features a log burner with flue. There is also a fully fitted utility room which provides a clean line design scheme with an array of storage space as well as accommodating an extra fridge and washing machines. A deluxe shower room completes the ground floor.
Solar panels on the garage roof provide 7.5kw of solar power. 17.4kWh of battery storage has been built in to one of the garages. Battery storage allows solar energy, made in the day, to be stored and used when needed (this can include during the evenings when tariffs are cheaper). The battery also offers the opportunity to buy cheap electricity at night. You can also access tariffs that allow you to buy and sell electricity during the day as wholesale electricity prices change.
Upstairs, a large and light central landing leads into five double bedrooms, with attractive outlooks of the surrounding vistas. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes, a dressing room and a luxurious en suite shower room, with four additional bedrooms, one with en suite and a contemporary family bathroom to the first floor.
To the front, the property is set back from the road on a generous corner plot and is approached from Vicarage Lane via a large gravel driveway providing ample parking, which in turn leads to two double garages which are located to each side of the property. Both garages provide insulated electric doors with power and lighting and one of the garages benefits from an attached workshop.
To the rear, there is a generous sized private garden with high fencing, evergreen hedging and trees, which is principally laid to lawn and wraps around the main house. The gardens overlook an ornamental pond with covered gazebo to the side which is ideal for entertaining with decked terrace area.
The house is super insulated with high specification window glazing, underfloor heating upstairs and downstairs and has an air source heat pump. There is also fresh air ventilation with a heat recovery system, which feeds fresh air into the house that is filtered and then heated via the old air being extracted from the house, creating a really nice living environment, that is draft-free, with clean air.
