These north facing rooms are sunny and light with panoramic views from large picture windows across farmland to mountain ranges.

The elegant kitchen boasts plenty of bench space and storage, a pantry, butler’s sink, stainless steel dishwasher, 6 burner gas hob and electric oven.

A log burner in the living area warms the whole house which is mostly double glazed.

A more formal second reception room, also with terrific views, is reached through double doors from the open living area.

Two splendid double bedrooms, a roomy bathroom with separate shower and bath, a separate toilet and a well appointed laundry room complete the downstairs.

Upstairs, a large, comfortabl­e master bedroom features a luxury en suite with shower and spa bath, and a good size walk-in wardrobe.

The master also features detailing such as a laundry shute to the downstairs, and a sink and power point station for coffee and tea making. An adjoining room to the master could be used as a fourth bedroom, or a home office/ study or studio.

Doors from the master and the adjoining room both open onto a private terrace with terrific views.

Drive down to the huge triple garage which has internal access plus two large storage areas and which could be used as a workshop space or even has potential for a home office.

The park-like gardens have been lovingly developed over the last 20 years and now comprise a pond and water feature and thriving species of specimen trees and plantings with pathways throughout.

This lovely, modern home has exceptiona­l details such as an alarm system, many storage options, retractabl­e fly screens on doors opening to the outside, and is sited for all day sun in the living areas.
