Outside of Property
Tucked away on a private wooded site, the contemporary individually-designed family home has been created to maximise the natural beauty of the countryside. Large stone pillars with wrought iron electronically operated gates lead you down an impressive driveway, set between manicured mature gardens, and culminates in an entrance between 4 trees that have existed for many generations. With 10ft hedging surrounding the boundary, this property offers total seclusion from the outside world. First impressions are of a modest dwelling, which is fully in keeping with the atmosphere of the natural surrounding. The extensive use of stone with the natural slate roof immediately oozes charm and elegance. A large detached two car garage compliments the dwelling with its complete gable built in stone, and fits in discreetly surrounded with native trees.

To one side of the building is a smaller garden with several mature trees around the perimeter of a rustic semicircle. This area has been designed to create a more intimate family space leading out from the sun lounge, separated by a small terrace and leading up a pebble path to a gazebo equipped with hot-tub sunk into the floor. The peaceful chirping of the birds provides complete tranquillity.

To the other side of the house runs a natural stream. A pond and a small waterfall create the sound of running water day and night.

The house is ideally situated between all this mature landscape, and carefully designed to complement and appreciate the natural backdrop.

At night the driveway is lit by four 2.3 meter pillar lights. Soffit down-lighters are fitted around the complete building, and the front porch and the sun lounge have wall lighting. The front trees are accentuated by up-lighters shining on them, and the gates and stone pillars are also lit by spotlights – collectively, the lighting generates a striking appearance to highlight the warmth of this family home.
