THE PROPERTY

Constructed in 1984 and inspired by the timeless appeal of an American single-storey ranch house, this impressive home has been thoughtfully designed to create bright, open-plan living spaces that seamlessly connect with the surrounding gardens. Almost every room enjoys delightful views across the secluded and picturesque grounds, while the property has been meticulously maintained by the current owners. A wide and welcoming central hallway forms the heart of the home, providing access to all principal rooms as well as a staircase leading to the lower ground floor. Striking wood effect floor tiles with under floor heating flows throughout the ground floor, adding warmth and character to the interiors. The generously proportioned sitting room is a particular highlight, featuring a fireplace with a wood-burning stove and wide bi-fold doors that open onto a terrace—perfect for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. The newly fitted kitchen/dining room is both stylish and practical, offering ample space alongside a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, including a dishwasher, induction hob, and double ovens, with provision for an American-style fridge/freezer.

Also accessed from the hall, the study provides a versatile workspace, complete with doors opening onto the terrace. The principal bedroom suite is beautifully appointed, offering generous proportions, French doors to the terrace, a large walk-in wardrobe, and a striking en-suite bathroom finished with Italian porcelain tiling and a separate walk-in shower. Two further double bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, one benefiting from its own en-suite shower room, while a well-appointed family bathroom completes the ground floor.

The lower ground floor offers an extensive range of additional spaces, ideal for modern lifestyles. These include a utility room with space and plumbing for laundry appliances, a store room, and a large double garage. A superb leisure suite enhances the home further, comprising a gym and sauna, along with an indoor swimming pool with scope to improve set within its own dedicated space, featuring sliding doors that open directly onto the gardens.

GROUND AND GARDENS

The property is approached via a private driveway leading from Boldre Grange, a quiet no-through road serving just seven homes, ensuring an exceptional sense of peace and exclusivity. A paved driveway provides ample turning and parking space adjacent to the garage, while a secondary vehicular access at the south-west corner adds further practicality and flexibility. The beautifully maintained gardens and grounds extend to approximately 8.7 acres, comprising expansive lawns and enchanting woodland predominantly made up of mature deciduous trees. Thoughtfully spaced, the trees create a serene, parkland atmosphere, interwoven with a network of wide, meandering paths that invite exploration and quiet enjoyment of the natural surroundings. Around an acre of formal lawn surrounds the house, offering a perfect setting for outdoor living and entertaining, complemented by a charming pond to the north that enhances the sense of tranquillity. Tucked within the woodland, a newly built cabin with power provides a versatile retreat or workspace, alongside a woodstore, large greenhouse with power, lights, heating and an irrigation system that can be programmed and additional outbuildings for storage.

Agents Note: The vendors had planning permission for a double garage with store and workshop up until 2024. Further details can be provided upon request.
