Cedar House embodies a sophisticated and contemporary design, having undergone an extensive extension and renovation by the current owners over the past nine years. The project, nearing completion, requires only final touches by the new owners to align with their preferences and lifestyle. Accessible via a sweeping driveway, an enclosed porch serves as a practical space for removing shoes before entering the impressive entrance hall. This vast area offers direct access to the principal reception zones.
The grand kitchen/breakfast room stands out as an ideal venue for entertaining family and friends. Featuring a sizable AGA as a focal point, a Neff fan oven for daily convenience, an appealing Butler sink, and two dishwashers, this space provides a social hub connected to the enormous balcony overlooking the southerly-facing grounds. French doors and windows along the back wall offer access to the covered balcony, seamlessly connecting the sitting room and snug to the kitchen/breakfast room in a semi-open plan style. For more formal occasions, a superb dining room with a non-operational feature fireplace becomes the focal point, accommodating a large dining table comfortably seating 10-12, and more if necessary. Completing the ground floor are a spacious boot and utility room, along with two cloakrooms.
Ascending to the first floor, the master bedroom suite stands out as one of the most impressive. This expansive space boasts dual en-suite bathrooms, dual dressing areas, a sitting area, and a balcony. Two additional double bedrooms, both en-suite, with one featuring its own dressing room, complete the first floor.
The lower ground floor houses two home offices with French doors opening to the garden, a gym, and a vast media/games room – an ideal retreat to unwind from daily stresses. Additionally, there is a shower room and provisions for a mini bar with a sink.
The annexe possesses a private entrance but can also be accessed from the main house via the utility room. It comprises a spacious hallway leading to the sitting room, kitchen, and cloakroom on the ground floor, while the first floor includes a double bedroom, dressing room, and en-suite. The mature and private plot spans approximately 2.25 acres, creating a tranquil outdoor space.
Outside, Cedar House is approached via a long private driveway, tucked away in a mature and private plot, surrounded by a delightful woodland setting with a sizable lawn.
