House For Sale £995,000
Welcome to Glebe Farm, a beautiful six-bedroom property with a contemporary twist and far-reaching countryside vistas. The property has been meticulously styled with bespoke features, handsome wooden windows and doors throughout, all while retaining its character. It even comes with a self-contained, two-bedroom annexe or guest suite.
Sweeping In
Enter the driveway and pass through double wooden gates to arrive in an expansive gravelled courtyard. There is plenty of parking space, with additional parking in another gravelled area to the rear between the house and garage. Here, you’ll also find the main entrance to the house, set within a handsome symmetrical exterior with sash windows framed by stone lintels.
A substantial open porch with a tiled roof and a paved slab floor welcomes you through double front doors into the hallway, where an elegantly tiled floor blends with the fitted grey carpet to a contemporary wood-and-glass stairway. Directly ahead, a wide walkthrough reveals the primary kitchen and living area.
Welcoming Receptions
The first door to the left of the hallway opens into a dining room showcasing a fabulous Victorian cast-iron fireplace and stone hearth to complement the cast-iron radiator. Meanwhile, a wooden framed sash window pairs with wooden skirting and an integrated cabinet to subtly contrast with feature wallpaper, a pretty ceiling rose, and a soft grey carpet.
You’ll find similar light décor and wooden accents in the sitting room opposite. A flame-effect fireplace with an elegant white surround and black marble hearth instantly draws your attention, along with the cast-iron radiator beneath another beautiful front sash. It also benefits from a full-height integrated storage cupboard and direct access to the main living and kitchen area.
Wine & Dine
The stunning open plan dining and living kitchen combines cooking and entertaining with ample natural light from an array of picture windows overlooking the courtyard and two sets of glazed French doors to the terrace beyond, flanked by sleek vertical radiators.
The beautiful island bar, with inset range cooker, electric hob, and rich wooden worktop, comes surrounded by light-grey cabinetry topped with marble, plus pantry cupboards, a double enamel sink and room for a big American-style fridge-freezer.
Light wooden beams above echo the floor below to round off the classic contemporary feel, while recessed downlights brighten the entire space. A cloakroom, utility, and a separate boot room with a lovely tiled floor, further sink and storage cupboards, and a door to the courtyard area lie conveniently off to one side.
The Annexe
Beyond, another door connects to an annexe, where you’ll discover a bright and immaculately decorated living room overlooking the garden. An open hatch-style window links to an adjoining galley kitchen with wooden cabinetry and work surfaces, grey metro wall tiles and terracotta-style floor tiles.
Integrated appliances include a double oven, an electric hob, cooker hood and dishwasher, along with a stainless-steel double sink and space for a washing machine. Large glazed panels and double doors act as a frame for the pergola-covered terrace and the garden beyond.
Return to the annexe living room to find stairs rising to bedrooms five and six, which share a three-piece shower room. Whether you intend to use the annexe as a long-term guest suite or integrated accommodation for a dependent relative, the annexe offers the flexibility a changing family requires.
When the Day is Done
The main staircase takes you to the master suite and remaining bedrooms, which all feature wooden flooring and contemporary style radiators to match white walls and recessed downlights.
The massive master suite features a low casement window and glazed double doors to the outside, so you can wake up to serene country views. In the adjoining, super luxurious Jack-and-Jill bathroom, you’ll be treated to stylish tiling and fittings surrounding a wet-room waterfall shower, a deep, double-ended bathtub, and a gorgeous bespoke wooden washbasin surface. Double skylights also flood the room with light.
Bedroom two is another king-sized double with an attractive Victorian cast-iron fireplace and a double sash window, again with those lovely garden and country views. This room also benefits from an en suite, which boasts slate-effect tiling continuing into the shower enclosure. Here again, you will find stylish fittings and a bespoke wooden washbasin surface with a fitted cupboard below.
Bedroom three has another pretty cast-iron fireplace, an inbuilt double wardrobe, and a sash window, while bedroom four has access to the loft. All in all, this gorgeous accommodation makes for sweet dreams.
Step Outside
From the main living area, throw open both sets of doors and walk out to the sleek sandstone patio area – perfect for aperitifs at sundown! There is plenty of room for garden furniture, terrace planting and growing shady climbers up the overhead pergola.
The substantial garden is mainly laid to lawn, with some mature trees and a large pond, all surrounded by open rail fencing for uninterrupted countryside views. You’ll also find access to a triple garage with first-floor storage rooms.
Walking between the house and the garage brings you to the courtyard, where a porch entrance leads to the annexe accommodation and another door opens to the boot room.
