Sibthorpe

We have pleasure in offering to the market this impressive, individual, detached contemporary home located in a semi rural location on the outskirts of this pretty hamlet. The property occupies extensive grounds with formal gardens and paddocks which extend to just in excess of 5 acres.

The property was extensively remodeled and tastefully refurbished around 2010, under the guidance of well regarded local architects Allan Joyce who are renowned for bespoke properties within the area, to create what is a truly unique, beautifully appointed and versatile home that is finished to a high specification with each room offering its own individuality.

The property boasts approximately 3,200 sq.ft. of internal accommodation spanning two floors, having four double bedrooms, two with ensuite facilities, and a separate well proportioned family bathroom. The particularly impressive principle suite comprises a generous double bedroom with Juliet balcony with panoramic views, a fully fitted walk in dressing room and ensuite facilities. The ground floor boasts three main reception areas as well as a particularly impressive initial entrance hall with a high cathedral ceiling and galleried landing above.

The heart of the home will undoubtedly be the stunning dining kitchen with a part vaulted ceiling and windows to three elevations which is beautifully appointed, being fitted with a bespoke handcrafted range of units by Loxleys to incorporate both traditional and contemporary elements. The kitchen is fitted with high quality integrated appliances including a sub zero fridge freezer and wine cooler and Miele oven and hob complemented with a traditional style electric Aga range. This room offers wonderful views into the garden, linking out onto a south to westerly facing terrace with views across the garden. The main sitting is again a truly superb space with exposed oak timbers and a high vaulted ceiling with king post and truss, a glazed gable end and wonderful views down the property's own gardens and fields beyond.

In addition, to the ground floor, there are further useful ancillary rooms including a spacious utility, separate boot room, ground floor cloak room and large walk in pantry and plant room.

The property is tastefully presented throughout in relatively neutral decoration, including Versace wallpaper to the snug, and built in Sonos ceiling system to most rooms, halls and outside on the upper and lower terrace and overall is a wonderful space for everyday living and entertaining.

As well as the main accommodation the property occupies a wonderful, extensive plot, approached by electric gates onto a sweeping driveway bordered by well maintained lawns with established borders and a stunning timber arctic cabin with central fire providing a cosy space for relaxing particularly in the winter months, and specially adaptable benches that are great for sleepovers, creating a teenage den, a unique guest room or impressive adult cave. The driveway leads up to main house with an impressive south to westerly facing courtyard/terrace, and outdoor fireplace creating a wonderful entertaining space. This area looks across to a lawn enclosed by estate fencing with further electric gates leading into an additional gravelled courtyard area at the rear which would make an excellent stable yard and additional parking. This is also a gazebo with hot tub. The courtyard in turn leads down into a range of high quality Kingsland timber outbuildings providing stabling, feed store, tack room and additional timber garaging at the rear. and then into two level grass paddocks making this property perfect for the equestrian orientated client.

Overall this is a stunning, individual, bespoke home in a delightful setting with viewing coming highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.

EXTERIOR
The property occupies an impressive plot of generous proportions comprising formal gardens, menage and paddock which in total extends to approximately 5.15 acres. The property has a great deal of privacy, overlooking open fields to the south and west and is approached by electric gates onto a sweeping tarmacadam driveway which provides a considerable level of off road parking. The driveway is bordered by established lawns and is well stocked with trees and shrubs and leads up to a formal approach with a raised terrace to either side of the entrance which benefits from a south to westerly aspect and links back into the main receptions and kitchen. This provides a wonderful outdoor entertaining space which catches the majority of the days sun but, for the cooler evenings, has an outdoor raised fire and chimney providing heating to the terrace. The driveway continues to the side and rear of the property providing a substantial level of off road parking and runs down to the Kingsland Stable Block providing stabling, workshop space and potential garaging. The more formal gardens are separated by estate fencing which leads onto a further lawned area and, in turn, to post and rail paddocks at the rear and a central top grade menage surfaced with high grade 'Redhill Equestrian Sand' and fine rubber top dressing, measuring 40m x 30m ideal for those with an equestrian bias. From the main driveway a further pair of timber electric gates leads through into an enclosed gravelled parking area which provides additional secure parking with a car charging point and a timber pod which houses a hot tub. There is the option for a second entrance to the property if the equestrian facility was to be used as a business or by third parties. This would prevent the main house being disturbed, and offer easy access for horse boxes, (dependent on relevant permissions being granted).
