4 Bed Detached House For Sale

A rurally situated South facing energy efficient country house with attractive views, set within about 16.11 acres of pasture


Higher Redallon was built in 2013 to an individual design influenced by the current vendors and inspired by New England style architecture. Its construction is of a modern energy efficient timber frame externally clad in horizontal pine boards painted a delicate shade of blue-green beneath a slate tiled roof. The main south facing facade has an overhanging roof line with glazed sections allowing the south light to flood in, a raised veranda and central front door. The west wing of the house has a substantial stone built chimney stack being of German design to allow for smoke free open fires. The house has traditional timber casement windows and doors and internally exposed floorboards throughout. GARDENS AND GROUNDS The informal gardens and grounds surround the house and are simple in design being left largely to nature as a wild garden with mown pathways. Adjacent to the rear of the house off the drawing room is a further covered veranda with a step down to a larger paved seating area ideal for al fresco summer dining to take advantage of the uninterrupted views leading to an enclosed lawned area. There is a dedicated area for growing vegetables and another containing old fashioned varieties of roses used for cut flowers. In the garden set at right angles to the house is a useful concrete block built store beneath a corrugated sheet roof originally a small dairy parlour with water and electricity laid on. Potential exits to convert to provide a small annexe or studio (subject the usual planning consents being obtained) beyond which is further area of level lawn and a habitable static caravan. THE LAND The pastureland comprises four large meadows gently rising in topography roughly north to south each separated by established hedgerows being a haven for native flora and fauna. In all about 16.11 acres. Offered for sale for the first time since being built by the current owners the property is likely to have particular appeal to lifestyle buyers looking for a house with land with scope for a wide variety of uses as well as having the potential to extend if so desired (again subject to the usual planning consents being obtained).
