Description
In 2020 an architect set out to design a farmhouse for the modern age and equip it with the latest technology. This elegant home was custom built by a reputable builder to the highest of standards and features beautiful rooms furnished and decorated by a highly regarded interior designer.
The heating system is via an air-source system with a full ventilation and heat recovery set up internally alongside underfloor heating throughout. The bespoke kitchen and family room enjoys open views across the surrounding countryside as well as the 5 acre plot. There is an impressive office and a good size separate dining room. The listing room has a fireplace and views to the rear. There are 5 well appointed bedrooms with the master suite being outstanding and also enjoying the views. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a property set within a select development of only 5 houses with a 5 acre plot included. There is good access to both the A130 and A12 keeping this property semi rural yet amazingly convenient.
