About the Inside.
The front door opens into a welcoming hallway with stairs rising to the first floor and a convenient cloakroom.
To the right, a cosy and well-appointed sitting room provides a relaxing retreat, centred around a charming woodburning stove. This versatile room also benefits from hidden cable connections, allowing use as a TV room or potential fifth bedroom if required. To the left, a further reception room features engineered timber flooring, a striking dual-aspect Jetmaster fireplace, and a useful wine storage pantry, creating a warm and flexible living and entertaining space.
The stylish Neptune kitchen and adjoining Breckenridge conservatory combine to form an impressive open-plan family room. This spacious L-shaped area benefits from bifold doors opening directly onto the garden and pool terrace, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with a central island, Rangemaster gas cooker, externally vented range hood, Fisher & Paykel fridge freezer, and Mandarin stone tiled flooring, alongside a modern wood burner adding warmth and character.
The conservatory enjoys underfloor heating and a wood-fired soapstone stove, providing excellent heat retention and allowing comfortable year-round use. There is ample space for a large dining table and relaxed seating, perfectly positioned to enjoy the garden and far-reaching rural views.
Adjoining the kitchen is a practical utility room with connections for a washing machine and dryer, as well as access to an external drying line. A secondary staircase adds further everyday convenience.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a generous and charming room featuring mirrored built-in wardrobes, additional storage above the en-suite, and its own well-appointed shower room. Three further bedrooms, all enjoying delightful countryside views, are served by a family bathroom. The third bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe with mirrored bifold doors, while the fourth bedroom is arranged maisonette-style with an upper-level sleeping area.
About the Outside.
A gated driveway welcomes you to the property, providing ample parking and access to an excellent range of outbuildings.
The detached office/stable building is fully insulated and thoughtfully designed, featuring a glass-partitioned office with its own dedicated high-speed Truespeed internet connection. It also incorporates two horse boxes with lighting and offers excellent potential for conversion into a larger office, self-contained annex, or rental unit (subject to the necessary consents).
The wider outbuildings include a steel barn with mezzanine level, power and lighting, a garage incorporating a gym and sauna, a separate workshop space, and a two-bay carport with provision for an electric vehicle charger.
The mature gardens wrap gracefully around the house, creating a wonderfully private and peaceful setting. At the heart of the outdoor space is an elegant heated saltwater swimming pool, complete with automated chlorination, air-source heat pump, winter and summer covers, and a robotic cleaner, all surrounded by sun-soaked terraces ideal for relaxation and entertaining.
Further highlights include a Rhino greenhouse, an established orchard with apple, pear, cherry and plum trees, a designated wildlife area frequented by deer and native birdlife, and extensive lawns and patios. Practical features such as a firewood store, steel shed, greenhouse, and log storage are also thoughtfully incorporated.
Beyond the formal gardens, the land gently slopes into woodland, offering direct access to a scenic walking track leading to Clutton village and The Station Inn pub, enhancing the property's lifestyle appeal.
