Welcome Home
Constructed in 2022 by local developer Oakwood Homes, a handsome oak porch frames the oak front door, making a wonderful first impression and tempting you into the entrance hallway. Slip through glazed oak doors to the right of the hallway into the spacious sitting room, where light flows in through the large window to the front of the home. Why not install a sleek living flame gas fire or a log-burning stove in the chimney breast alcove? Perfect for cosy evenings as a family. Across the hallway, you’ll discover a guest cloakroom and a light-filled study, also with views over the front of the home.
The Heart of the Home
A pair of glazed doors draw you through to the impressive open plan kitchen diner. With a family-friendly flow, this sociable space is ideal for entertaining. A relaxed seating area flows into the dining area, perfectly placed by a run of bifold doors creating a seamless connection to the garden terrace. A large island unit - home to storage beneath and a built-in wine cooler - allows a row of bar stools to be casually tucked underneath – the perfect space for those hurried workday mornings and for chatting together as you prepare supper. Designed and installed by Intone Design, stylish, contemporary cabinetry and worktops running around the kitchen offer ample storage and preparation space, with a range of fitted appliances, while overhead, a large roof lantern floods the kitchen with natural light. Keeping your kitchen chore and clutter free is easy with a separate laundry room adjacent to here, with handy access out to the side of the home.
Sweet Dreams
Ascend the oak staircase now to discover the home’s four double bedrooms, all flowing off the central landing. Add a bureau and chair at the window to create a wonderful place to work, overlooking the front of the home. The first two bedrooms are to be found at this end of the home, one featuring a stylish en suite shower room, while the other is served by the family bathroom with bathtub and separate shower. The third double bedroom enjoys views of the rear garden and the rolling countryside beyond. Time now to discover the sumptuous principal suite with a sleek en suite shower room and generously-sized dressing room, which could make a perfect nursery. Showcasing views out over the Rutland countryside, a Juliet balcony overlooks the garden and fields beyond.
Your Country Garden
Arriving at the home, ample parking is available on the driveway and in the detached double garage. A gate to the side of the home leads to the rear garden where you will find a terraced area ahead of the lawn garden. The perfect spot to sit on a summer’s evening with a gin and tonic and soak up the magnificent country views.
