House For Sale £1,500,000
Set in a peaceful, rural setting, Ashbrook Lodge is a new, bespoke family home built by award winning, local developer, R.E. Pearce Properties Ltd. It has a traditional, rural exterior with a fresh, contemporary interior focussed around the large kitchen/family room. Built with an east/west axis, the front is lit by early morning light whilst the rear catches sunlight until late evening in the summer. Both sides also have wide, tall windows similar to those found in converted threshing barns providing a light and airy feel throughout the house. The exterior has a traditional double Roman clay tile roof and is clad with a combination of local stone and composite cladding to minimise maintenance. The house's reception hall is dominated by an impressive central staircase that rises to a three-sided galleried landing, which enables the centre of the house to be filled with natural light. The adjacent, large kitchen/family room looks out through glazed, bi-fold doors and French windows onto the garden and the unspoilt countryside beyond. This room, like the hall, is floored with oak and has ample space for separate seating and dining areas. The kitchen area is fitted with contemporary style units including a central island along with a range of built-in Neff electrical appliances and in one corner is a walk-in larder. The house has three further reception rooms, two of which also have wonderful views through French windows that open to the terrace and garden. Also off the hall is a downstairs guest bedroom suite, making the house also suitable for a family member with reduced mobility. The remaining three double bedrooms are on the first floor. The main bedroom has an ensuite bath and shower room plus
a sheltered roof terrace with elevated views of the surrounding countryside. One of the remaining two bedrooms has an ensuite shower room and the other has sole use of the family bath and shower room.

Ashbrook Lodge is approached off the passing lane via a short, gravel driveway that leads to a generous parking area in front of the house. On one side is a triple garage separated into two bays and built in a similar style to the house. Across the parking area and facing the main house is a period, single storey barn that has been converted to a self-contained, one bedroom annexe. This is suitable for an elderly relative as it is all on one level and has a double bedroom with an ensuite, good-sized wet room. Alternatively, it would also make an ideal two-room office for a small business that would be capable of providing a work space for several employees. The garden is level and recently seeded with grass providing a completely blank canvas for the new owner. Privacy from neighbouring properties on either side is afforded by tall, close-boarded timber fencing, whilst the western end of the garden is bound by newly erected, stockproof fencing to ensure uninterrupted views of the adjacent farmland.
Agent's Note: Ashbrook Lodge has a Premier Guarantee 10 year warranty as an assurance of quality. Underpinning this, Pearce Properties Ltd holds a NHBC Pride in the Job Quality Award and Premier Guarantee Excellence awards for excellent standards and outstanding quality.
