About this property
A beautifully appointed detached home, comprehensively renovated in 2017, offering light-filled and well-balanced family accommodation with far-reaching views across open countryside. Occupying a peaceful edge-of-village position, the property enjoys an exceptional degree of privacy, set within landscaped gardens designed to complement the surrounding rural landscape.
The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged and ideally suited to modern family living. Of particular note is the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining room, forming the heart of the home, with bi-fold doors opening directly onto the terrace and gardens beyond. A charming snug, complete with log burner and further bi-fold doors, provides a cosy yet connected reception space. In addition, there is a well-proportioned sitting room, study, utility room and boot room.
The principal bedroom accommodation comprises five generous double bedrooms, all with en suite facilities. The fifth bedroom is situated on the ground floor and is currently arranged as a self-contained garden suite, benefitting from its own private sitting room and direct access to the garden, offering excellent flexibility for guests or multigenerational living.
Long Reach is approached via a private driveway providing ample off-road parking for several vehicles. The driveway leads to a double detached garage with a studio annexe above, presently utilised as a home gym, offering further versatility.
The gardens have been carefully landscaped to create a tranquil and picturesque setting. Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, they include three separate patio areas ideal for al fresco dining, an outdoor kitchenette with built-in butler sink, a gravelled seating area with fire pit, hot tub, wood store and storage shed. An elevated terrace provides an attractive vantage point over the gardens with direct access into the kitchen and reception areas. Thoughtfully curated planting of sweet-scented flowers and shrubs frames the lawn and pathways, leading to a vegetable garden complete with greenhouse. Bordered by the surrounding countryside within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), Long Reach offers a rare opportunity to acquire a refined rural home in an idyllic and highly private setting.
