"A unique architecturally designed detached residence set in an idyllic location with stunning views, double garage, agricultural barn and grounds in the region of 1.8 acres.

The Property Bracken seamlessly blends modern building methods with the use of traditional materials to create a stunning contemporary residence. The property has a sleek rendered finish with detailing from locally sourced stone which has also been incorporated within surrounding grounds. The property has been designed to make the very most of the spectacular views with the living accommodation set across the first floor. The use of glass in the kitchen, along with the balcony really makes the most of arguably one of the finest views in the area. Bracken has been built to a very high standard of specification with many eco credentials including high levels of insulation, underfloor heating via an air source heat pump and solar panels.

Accommodation On entering Bracken, it becomes apparent that the clever use of glass, high ceilings, and skylights means that you not only enjoy countryside views from most rooms but also benefit from plenty of natural light throughout the course of the day. The accommodation is designed around a split level, floating, backlit staircase, with the living accommodation positioned on the first floor to make the most of the westerly aspect and the rolling countryside views. There is a large covered balcony which acts as an impressive viewing gallery and forms the perfect space for entertaining and enjoying the evening sunsets. The kitchen family room is the main hub of the home, with a vaulted ceiling along with a bespoke kitchen supplied by The German Kitchen Company. As one would imagine, the kitchen features a wide range of top end appliances including Smeg Wi Fi operational ovens, a Bora induction hob, and a Quooker hot tap. The units are finished in a textured slate effect while the island has a contrasting stainless steel finish. Both feature Corian work surfaces. There is a split level sitting room with a central double sided wood burning stove. Oak flooring and staircase lead to the snug area. The utility room and study are located along from the main entrance hallway. To the lower ground are four well proportioned double bedrooms, three of which feature en suite shower rooms. Each bedroom benefits from extensive fitted wardrobes and walk in cupboards, providing exceptional storage. Along with the family bathroom, each room has been finished with a combination of contemporary fitments, extensive tiling, heated mirrors, and courtesy lighting. The family bathroom also includes a touch of luxury with a free standing bath and integrated television.

Outside Bracken is approached from a quiet lane via electric double gates where a gravelled driveway leads to the garaging and parking area. The property sits well within its plot with formal gardens to three sides that are now well established with a variety of mature shrubs and raised beds. The majority of the grounds offer panoramic rural views over the surrounding countryside including a pleasant view across the valley to Membury and the church. The area of grounds to the north and east are lawned and there is a separate five bar gate from the lane side to the recently constructed agricultural barn and field beyond. The whole area totals in the region 1.90 acres 0.72 ha .

Double Garage Electric double door, light and power. An external staircase provides access to the loft room which has been fully converted and would make a great work space away from the main home.
