Property
Oak House is an impressive, individually designed new-build home, combining traditional materials with contemporary styling and generous, well-planned accommodation. The red-brick elevations, contrasting cladding and tiled roof give the house an attractive appearance, whilst the extensive glazing makes the most of the natural light and surrounding views. The entrance hall provides a welcoming introduction, leading through to a spacious sitting room which enjoys a triple aspect overlooking the gardens. French doors open onto the terrace, and a wood-burning stove creates an appealing focal point for the room. The kitchen, dining and family room is a particular feature, offering plenty of space for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen has been designed with extensive cabinetry, contrasting central island, stone work surfaces and integrated appliances, together with a generous breakfast bar. There is ample room for a substantial dining table and a separate seating area, whilst glazed doors provide direct access to the gardens and terraces, creating a natural connection between the inside and outside. Further ground-floor accommodation includes a separate utility room and a versatile additional room, which could be used as a fourth bedroom, home office or guest room. A conveniently positioned shower room adds to the flexibility, making this arrangement particularly useful for visiting family or those requiring ground-floor accommodation. The first floor provides three generous double bedrooms, arranged around a light and spacious landing. One bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom. The proportions and layout offer comfortable accommodation for families, with scope to adapt the rooms to suit individual needs.
