The approach sets the tone, where manicured lawns and sculptured gardens with specimen trees open to a contemporary home positioned for light, scale and everyday ease. The open-plan kitchen and dining area is a gallery of light, centred by a stone waterfall island, timber flooring and a drinks fridge. A full walk-through scullery provides a second kitchen, housing the working essentials and creating an expansive kitchen-dining area that is refined and relaxed. A formal lounge with a log burner extends to a long louvred terrace and sweeping lawns beyond, while a third living area with in-built joinery and a study corner completes a home designed for flexibility and family connection. Accessed via floating stairs rising through the light-filled atrium, top-floor accommodation extends to four bedrooms and three bathrooms, including two en-suites, ensuring privacy is preserved and comfort is maximised without compromising practicality. Beyond the home, the substantial barn provides a second sphere of living, characterised by its capacity, versatility, and energy efficiency. With solar panels lining its roof and extensive storage below, the upper-level forms a fully self-contained quarter featuring an open-plan kitchen and dining area, two bedrooms, and a bathroom, offering genuine independence for extended family, guests, or on-site support. Manicured lawns, specimen trees and orchard plantings frame the landscape, while the Haswell Stream traces the boundary and gives the site a defined edge. Post-and-rail paddocks and three acres of hazelnuts add working potential beyond aesthetics, whether kept for harvesting and income, hobby use, or horses. A property that keeps maintenance to a minimum yet carries genuine capability, the home delivers architectural living and panoramic views, while the land earns its keep and the barn stands ready to shift from productivity to passion project, ensuring its direction is yours to define.
