A stylish family home with a modern sleek interior, set within its own grounds of approximately 1.6 acres and surrounded by beautiful countryside, with large driveway and a detached studio which has outline planning permission.

PROPERTY
A truly exceptional contemporary home set within approximately 1.6 acres of private grounds with outline planning permission for a three-bedroom detached bungalow. Completed in 2023 and positioned behind electric gates, The Paddock is a beautifully designed five/six-bedroom single-storey residence offering an enviable combination of both modern luxury and convenience in a semi-rural setting. Nestled within its own secluded grounds, this impressive property provides extensive accommodation for modern family life, while the additional planning potential creates an exciting opportunity for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or as a separate family home.

Designed with an emphasis on natural light, space and a seamless connection with the outdoors, The Paddock is an exceptional example of single-storey living. Extensive glazing is a defining feature of the home, with full-height windows, corner glazing and large bi-fold doors drawing light deep into the home while framing views across the surrounding gardens.

The generous and thoughtfully arranged layout provides five/six bedrooms, making the property particularly well suited for a family or, if needed, multi-generational living. Four bedrooms are positioned at one end of the house, with two further rooms at the opposite end, creating excellent separation and versatility. The sixth bedroom could comfortably serve as a home office, study, playroom or as an additional reception space.

At the heart of the home is a superb contemporary living space, designed for both everyday family life and entertaining. The kitchen and adjoining living and dining areas benefit from an abundance of natural light, with the vast array of glazing creating a wonderful way of bringing the outside in.

The impressive principal bedroom suite provides a luxurious retreat, complete with its own en-suite facilities and dressing room while the remaining bedrooms are complemented by beautifully appointed bathrooms featuring high-quality fittings and finishes providing a sophisticated, contemporary look.

OUTSIDE
Approached via secure private gates, a long and winding driveway leads through the gardens to The Paddock, ensuring a wonderful sense of arrival. The house sits discreetly within the grounds, surrounded by mature trees, established lawns and areas of natural planting, with the orientation of the plot allowing for beautiful views of both the sunrise and sunset.

The landscaped garden has been designed to create a beautiful and versatile outdoor environment, incorporating a wildflower meadow, vegetable beds, pergola with festoon lighting and a tranquil water feature. The extensive patio provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the generous lawned areas offer plenty of space for children to play and family activities.

The property's position and generous plot also provide considerable scope for further outdoor leisure facilities, subject to the necessary consents, with ample room to consider a swimming pool, tennis court or other recreational amenities.

A particularly exciting feature is the outline planning permission which has already been granted for the conversion of the existing detached outbuilding/studio into a three-bedroom bungalow. This will offer significant flexibility and potential for any buyer, whether it will be used for extended family, as independent accommodation, for guests or as a separate residence within the grounds.
