Description

An exceptional gated residence offering over 5,500 sq ft of refined single level living, set within approximately 3.7 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds in the sought after village of Margarettng.

Approached via a sweeping carriage driveway and set behind secure gates, the property combines impressive proportions with elegant contemporary design. A grand entrance hallway leads to a series of beautifully appointed reception spaces, including a generous drawing room with feature fireplace and French doors opening onto the gardens, alongside a dedicated home study.

At the heart of the home is an impressive open plan kitchen and family room, designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The bespoke kitchen features stylish cabinetry, integrated appliances and a substantial central island, which comfortably doubles as a dining table. Two sets of French doors create a seamless connection with the gardens, while an adjoining utility room and separate plant room ensure practicality is discreetly accommodated. A guest cloakroom completes the principal reception areas.

The accommodation comprises three generously proportioned bedroom suites, each enjoying a private en suite bathroom and dressing room. The primary bedroom is particularly impressive, offering two dressing rooms and a luxurious en suite with both bath and separate shower.

Adding further versatility is a self contained annexe, privately positioned within the grounds. The annexe provides a comfortable living room, separate kitchen, bedroom, currently configured as a home gym, and an additional dressing room, making it ideal for guests, extended family or staff accommodation.

Externally, the property is surrounded by approximately 3.7 acres of landscaped grounds, providing an exceptional degree of privacy and space. Extensive patio terraces create the perfect setting for al fresco dining and entertaining, while expansive lawns include a private football pitch. A substantial garage and ample off road parking complete this remarkable country residence.
