4 Bed Detached House For Sale

**Sensational village house **Bold contemporary styling **Spectacular living kitchen **Four bedrooms **Annexe potential **Set in 0.4 acres

General - Peatling End is a sensational village house which has been substantially re modelled in recent years. The bold contemporary styling works exceptionally well with the open plan layout. The house, which spans approximately 4000sq ft of living space over three floors, dates back to the early 1960's and was designed by one of the area's leading industrial architects, Douglas H.Smith. The architect's vision was very much ahead of its time with dramatic, light living spaces centred on an atrium. Although the house has now been re imagined and brought into the 21st Century, it honours and builds on the vision created by Douglas Smith all those years ago. Features include high ceilings, an incredible glazed walkway, microcement floors, oversized doors and some very clever finishes.

General Cont. - The accommodation is centred on the fabulous open plan living kitchen with bi folds opening into the outdoor kitchen. The kitchen opens directly into a large sitting room, there is then a staircase with glazed walkway leading to a luxurious master bed suite, two further bedrooms and a shower room. At basement level, there is a large studio and a further bedroom suite opening onto a gorgeous sunken garden. There is potential in this area to create an incredible annexe.

The house is set in extensive grounds of approximately 0.4 acres overlooking a lovely paddock.

It should be noted that the unique nature of this property has made it a popular location for advertising shoots, which is a useful additional source of income should a purchaser be interested.
