The quality of workmanship and attention to detail with regards to dĂŠcor, fixtures and fittings is obvious to see by all that visit. Designed with the family in mind, the house now offers free flowing and deceptively spacious accommodation able to meet the ever changing demands of a growing family, allowing the purpose of certain rooms to change with your needs. Set within a much desired cul-de-sac, flanked by executive style houses, Harvest House is hidden down a long private driveway and without doubt, unknowingly to all those that pass by, occupies by far the largest plot, extending to approximately 1.75 acres. With a large, accessible driveway and frontage, the house could be considered suitable for those with equestrian or other small livestock needs on a small scale. As soon as you pull into the enclosed, private driveway and step out of your car you immediately notice how quiet it is. The house looks imposing but equally inviting and the entrance is simply stunning.

GROUND FLOOR The double height, floor to ceiling wall of glass floods the RECEPTION HALL with ample natural light and certainly starts your journey with the wow factor. Glazed double doors invite you inside where you are greeted with high vaulted ceilings and an open tread staircase with clear glazed balustrade and matching galleried landing. The house happily mixes the light and airiness of a 1960’s house with a contemporary twist of modern day living. Strategic inset floor lighting with “starlight” mood ceiling lighting sets the perfect scene for any occasion. All the principle rooms are accessed off the reception hall as is the CLOAKROOM. The FAMILY ROOM overlooks the front driveway and has in the past been used a separate dining room. The main SITTING ROOM commands delightful views over the rear garden with double doors leading out onto the south/south west facing terrace. For those winter months, the inset feature fire creates the main focal point and many memorable evenings have been spent entertaining family and friends.

ANNEXE Positioned above the garage, the ANNEXE offers independent living accommodation to an older family member, visitors or a bespoke TEENAGER SUITE. Access is gained independently to the main house and the heating and hot water operated from a separate stand alone boiler. Taking into consideration current rental demand, it may be possible, subject to the relevant regulations, that the ANNEXE could be rented out generating an additional line of income. Alternatively, with the growing trend for “home-working�, the ANNEXE would make an idea OFFICE SUITE for anyone wishing to work from home. The staircase entrance offers a GROUND FLOOR CLOAKROOM and then a staircase leads into the OPEN PLAN LIVING / BEDROOM with a KITCHENETTE area.

OUTSIDE TO THE FRONT Approached down a private driveway, the house is secluded from the front as is most of the drive, making it ideal for families with multiple vehicles or for those with a caravan, trailer or work vehicles that you may not necessarily want to be on show all the time. The DOUBLE GARAGE with electric up and over door, offers access into a separate WORKSHOP which in turn has a window to the rear and an independent access door to the side. TO THE REAR Not only does the garden enjoy a southerly aspect, but it is also surprisingly private and offers total seclusion from neighbouring properties. With family in mind the garden has been designed for entertaining and for making the most of our hot summer days. With an extensive tiered terrace there is ample room to enjoy the sunshine regardless of the time of day and with the swimming pool close by, one could be mistaken for thinking they were in the South of France. The heated walled SWIMMING POOL (size approximately 4.8 m x 10.3 m) with retractable cover is more than inviting and over the years, during the summer has been the cause of much laughter and enjoyment from all the family making the most of it. The garden is effectively divided into three key areas. The main lawn is flat and ideal for entertaining, this in turn leads through to an area previous used primarily for growing home produce, with raised beds and a green house. This area leads to a lower paddock where it has been suggested a horse, pony or other livestock could be kept and looked after.
