Set in the picturesque village of Kentisbury Ford, less than a mile from the western boundary of Exmoor National Park, Kentisbury House is an elegant Neo-Georgian detached residence standing in beautifully landscaped grounds of approximately 1.75 acres.
Built in 1976 by a local builder for his own occupation, this immaculate property offers generously proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors. Highlights include a grand reception hall, dual aspect living room with fireplace, formal dining room with French doors to the terrace, and a well-appointed modern kitchen/breakfast room with central island and integrated appliances with views over the grounds. A utility/laundry room and cloakroom complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, a galleried landing leads to four spacious double bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite, all benefiting from en-suite facilities.
The property is approached via a tarmac driveway providing ample parking and access to a detached double garage.
The grounds comprise expansive lawns, sun terraces, a stream, ornamental lake, and a private area of woodland, creating a peaceful haven for wildlife.
