An outstanding, state of the art house with views over the village
Description
This beautiful house originally built in the 1960s has been extensively altered by the current owners.

The house is heated by a 12Kw air source heat pump with water based underfloor heating on all three floors.
The front door leads into the hallway and provides access to the staircase, the sitting room and to the dining room. The beautiful south facing sitting room has a French oak framed extension meticulously constructed with floor to ceiling glass windows. French doors lead to the garden. The contemporary kitchen was made by Kitchen Stori, finished in anthracite grey and was installed by local fitters, Sakura Kitchens.

There is a freestanding bath, a separate enclosed shower with side jets. A sink and a WC. There is a office space and a plant room with storage on this floor.
The top floor is an L shaped loft and could be used as an additional bedroom or in its current guise as a family /cinema room with fantastic views.
The double garage is much larger than standard so there is plenty of additional usable space. It has thermal insulated walls for the winter months and a sound insulated ceiling. There is an impressive double hex-lighting across both bays. Upstairs features the studio bedroom which has electric underfloor heating, Kef ceiling speakers and LED lighting strips to highlight the wonderful oak beams.
