Description
An exceptional detached home built by the current owner to an exacting standard with a fastidious attention to detail. Completed in 2011, Applewood offers well-arranged accommodation of generous proportions arranged over three floors with numerous state-of-the-art features for a contemporary lifestyle, complemented by the most wonderful position adjacent to open fields and farmland providing an idyllic environment and picturesque backdrop. Built of Michelmersh brick with part tile-hung elevations, inset with oak beams and herringbone brickwork, the property combines the best of traditional design with modern technology incorporating features such as underfloor heating via a ground source heat pump, anti-allergy vacuum system, Klargester treatment plant, Control 4 remote-control lighting, Cat 5 ADSL wiring, heat recovery system, Onkyo surround sound system, and argon-filled engineered mahogany double-glazed windows.

The main entrance opens into an impressive reception hall for access to the lower ground and first floors, with oak flooring and an oak cut string staircase. Adjoining the hall is a cloakroom with WC and well-equipped utility room with ample cupboard space and granite worktop with inset Belfast sink. To the front is a good size study with bay window, while the large triple aspect sitting room with feature Michelmersh brick fireplace with multi-fuel burner enjoys a lovely aspect over the garden and countryside beyond. A particular feature, and social hub of the home, is the kitchen/dining/family room which has an extensive range of handmade units surmounted with patterned granite worktops and integrated appliances including larder fridge, freezer, two ovens, induction hob, dishwasher and filtered drinking water tap; folding doors open onto the decked sun-terrace creating the perfect space for socialising and entertaining.
The lower ground floor has been double tanked and contains a large room ideal for storage or an additional study/workroom etc. Adjoining this is the plant room containing the pressurised hot water tank, media cupboard, water softener, and cupboard with sump. On the first floor is the large master bedroom with generous built-in wardrobes and stylish en-suite shower room. There are three additional double bedrooms which share the well-appointed family bathroom with both bath and separate shower cubicle, and all the bedrooms enjoy oak-beamed vaulted ceilings.
Outside
The property occupies gardens of just under one-fifth of an acre, approached through electric gates which open onto a shingle drive with parking for at least four to five cars leading to the detached garage to the rear with remote control roller door and loft storage space. There are beautifully landscaped gardens to the front and rear laid to lawn and planted with numerous specimen trees and shrubs, ornamental pond, sun-terrace and two patios with pergola over taking full advantage of the sun as it moves around the property and the stunning backdrop provided by the adjoining countryside.
