This extremely appealing property will be of huge interest to those seeking a lifestyle opportunity which includes excellent equestrian interests. This attractive family home was built by the current owners in a traditional brick and flint style under a striking slate roof, occupying a fantastic position on the outskirts of Owslebury in grounds of approximately one acre. The house is an energy efficient home, with the benefit of solar panels on the roof of the stable block, an air source heat pump and underfloor heating to the ground floor. All internal doors, including the front and back doors are solid oak providing a really charming finish. The well-proportioned accommodation is arranged over two floors and displays a large open-plan kitchen/dining room with a range of country style wall and base units. An Aga is fitted within a feature brick surround, creating a pleasing focal point to the room, which is open plan to the family area at one end enjoying an outlook over the gardens towards the stable block. The kitchen is further complemented by a separate utility room for additional storage and a door to the guest cloakroom. A formal sitting room provides an ideal space for entertaining and enjoys an inglenook fireplace with a log burner. A separate study provides the ideal environment for those looking to work from home.
To the first floor there are four comfortable bedrooms, including the principal bedroom which is triple aspect and benefits from an en-suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.
Externally, the property is approached via a five-bar gate opening onto a substantial tarmac driveway which provides ample parking for multiple vehicles as well as access to the car port, garage and outbuildings.
The garages have been constructed to a high specification with brick and flint lower walls and solid oak feather-board, with solid oak doors under a slate tile roof to complement the house. The main gardens are laid to lawn with patio terraces, where one can enjoy the views over the grounds. A pathway from the garden leads to the stable yard which provides a comprehensive range of high-quality stabling and storage areas which have been constructed with brick and block and cavity wall insulation, a hay barn and a large expanse of hardstanding. The stable yard itself constitutes five stables, a feed room, tack room and further barn storage. The paddock area lies off and provides a turnout area.
