Driving through the electric iron gates and up the sweeping gravel driveway, this imposing home comes into view and your eyes are drawn to the unique site of the rotundra. After parking your car in front of the triple garage, you walk up the stairs of vaulted entrance and into what can only be described as an expansive entrance hall that leads off in multiple directions to the many reception rooms. The main space at the rear really is something special, with its vaulted ceilings and glass doors across the whole width that allow you take in the stunning views across fields in the distance. The second main reception room benefits from the rotunda and is a more intimate space, perfectly suited for winter months due to the stunning inglenook fireplace with a beautifully carved beam with grape vine detailing. The kitchen is a perfect space for the whole family to relax in, providing a dining and seating area, along with the carefully crafted Smallbone kitchen units and expansive granite island. Off here is a separate utility room and boot room to enter after enjoying the plentiful country walks on your doorstep. We can’t forget what has now become an essential, the study, with fully equipped double workspaces and cabinets.
Walking upstairs to the first floor is one of the most spacious landings we have seen and on walking to the Master Bedroom, the impact is even greater. You enter directly opposite one of the most stunning ensuites you will ever see that has been installed into the rotundra, with a vast walk in/out rainfall shower and beautiful wood vanity unit. The bedroom itself has been split into a sleeping area and a dressing area that is what dreams are made of, providing all the wardrobe space you could ever possibly require. There are a further three double bedrooms and an exceptional family bathroom with a contemporary freestanding bath, separate walk-in shower and his and hers basins. Finally you have the guest suite on the top floor that feels like you have just been fortunate enough to book in to a five star boutique hotel with open ensuite bathroom and storage along both sides.
Going back outside, you have a wonderful wraparound garden that looks out across fields at the rear, and features a stunning pool with retractable cover. Finally a triple garage benefits from a separate space at the back that is currently used as a gym. This home also has the added benefit of solar panels and an air source heat pump.
