About this property
SKYLINE is an exceptional and highly individual village residence, remarkable for both its striking architectural style and commanding presence within this sought after setting. Occupying an enviable position, the property enjoys breathtaking far reaching views across the open countryside which really are quite outstanding.
Constructed in 2024 to an exacting standard, the house is presented in impeccable condition showcasing meticulous attention to detail and an elegant selection of high quality fixture and fittings throughout. Its expansive living spaces are enhanced by an abundance of natural light creating a bright area that effortlessly flows perfectly from room to room.
The approach to the property really does set the tone with its front door leading to a generous reception hall. Here, a stunning gloss marble-style floor immediately conveys a sense of luxury, whilst a sweeping staircase rises to the first floor. Full-height glazed panels draw the eye through the house providing a glimpse of the beautifully landscaped rear garden beyond.
The principal reception space is both impressive and versatile throughout, arranged into distinct sitting and dining areas connected by a wide open transition. The sitting room, positioned at the rear, is particularly captivating featuring a vaulted ceiling that enhances a sense of volume and dramatic full-height glazing with doors that open direct into the garden, perfect for seamless indoor/outdoor living. Engineered oak flooring flows throughout adding warmth and cohesion to the space. To one side, a superb study/family room provides a quiet, yet light filled, space with dual aspect glazing and continuation of the engineered wooden flooring. This adaptable room is ideally suited for those working from home, creative pursuits or relaxed family living.
Undoubtedly, one the home's most impressive features is the extensive kitchen/family room, a true heart of the house. Bathed in natural light from extensive glazing to both the rear and side, it incorporates sliding and double doors that invite the outside in. The kitchen itself is beautifully appointed centred around a substantial island with breakfast bar all finished with elegant quartz worktops. A comprehensive range of cabinetry in contrasting tones provides ample storage complemented by a suite of integrated appliances including ovens, coffee machine, dishwasher, induction hob with down-draft extraction and wine cooler, perfectly catering for everyday living and entertaining. A rear hallway leads to a well equipped utility room featuring wooden work surfaces, additional storage, space for further appliances and direct access to the outside. This area also benefits from a walk-in storage room and a conveniently positioned cloakroom.
Ascending to the first floor, the landing is a space in its own right illuminated by a large picture window framing captivating views over the garden and beyond to open countryside. 5 generously proportioned bedrooms lead from this central area, each thoughtfully designed to maximise comfort and outlook. The principal bedroom is truly outstanding boasting full-height glazing and sliding door that opens to reveal uninterrupted countryside views. It is further enhanced by a luxuriously appointed en suite bathroom completed by a stylish 4-piece suite. Bedroom 2 also benefits from its own en suite shower room, whilst the remaining bedrooms are all served by an equally well appointed family bathroom, finished to the same high standard.
EXTERNALLY, the property continues to impress. Set well back from the road and approached via gated entrance that opens onto a generous gravelled driveway providing ample off-street parking, all discreetly screened by mature planting to the front. A detached garage offers secure additional parking to one side.
The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn creating a spacious and private outdoor haven. A paved patio adjoins the rear of the property forming a perfect area for alfresco dining and entertaining, whilst the enclosed courtyard feel, as well as a sense of seclusion. The garden boundaries are defined by low timber field-fencing carefully chosen to preserve the uninterrupted views across surrounding farmland and open countryside, an idyllic and ever present feature of this remarkable home.
