We have great pleasure in offering to the market this stunning, individual, detached family orientated home commissioned by the current vendors to a well thought out design that combines the benefits and efficiency of modern construction with the aesthetics expected in a more traditional home. This thought and attention to detail has created a unique property that, from a distance, appears to be a conversion of a more period building with attractive brick and stone elevations beneath a pantiled roof, a beautiful oak porch, double glazed casement windows, cottage style fittings and the use of many natural materials. Much of the ground floor provides attractive flagstone flooring as well as oak cottage latch doors, deep skirtings and architraves and tasteful decoration throughout.
Internally the property boasts a considerable level of accommodation spanning three floors and approaching 3,500 sqf.ft.; there are four impressive double bedrooms offering far reaching views, all with ensuite facilities, and including a stunning principal suite situated in the eaves and spanning the full width of the property with amazing panoramic views.
Every room offers its own individuality and the property is beautifully appointed throughout offering a light and airy feel. There are three main reception areas including an attractive sitting room with feature fireplace and windows to three elevations, a formal dining space linking through into a stunning kitchen with superb views to the side and an oak framed garden room at the rear overlooking the rear garden and linking out onto a rear terrace. In addition there is a well proportioned utility/boot room with ground floor cloak room off.
As well as the internal accommodation the property occupies a secluded plot tucked away in a quiet backwater accessed by an initial shared lane leading to the private corner plot with field gate access onto a substantial driveway. The driveway provides ample off road parking and in turn leads to the attached double garage. The rear garden offers an excellent degree of privacy with a westerly aspect, looking across to fields at the side and rear. An initial flagged terrace with attractive stone retaining wall leads up onto a mainly lawned garden encompassing an impressive purpose built pool house/gym with useful storage cabin to the rear. In total the plot lies in the region of 0.34 of an acre.
Overall viewing is the only way to truly appreciate this individual home set within this highly regarded Vale of Belvoir village.
