" **7 BEDROOM HOUSE (INC ANNEX)**

A UNIQUE and EXCEPTIONAL character property of about 4,700 sq ft with 5 king size bedrooms (all with ensuites) and a beautiful open plan living area PLUS a separate 2 bedroom bungalow annexe. The property is in a delightful, private, semi-rural setting and benefits from several eco features.
Built seven years ago by the current owners in the parish of Purleigh and set in grounds of just under an acre with stunning views over surrounding countryside. The property is set well back from the road down a private gravelled drive at the end of which there is parking for eight or nine cars. The property benefits from modern technology. The underfloor heating to both ground and first floors by ground source heat pump creates a cosy, comfortable environment with individual room controls. The income from the solar electric more than covers the electric and heating costs of the main house. Satellite, BT and TV points  are installed throughout the house. Low energy lighting has been incorporated into the design of the house and lighting can be zoned to accommodate all moods from bright to cosy. Low energy external lighting illuminates the drive, parking, courtyard and patio areas. The property offers maximum flexibility. Currently the annexe is attached but separate. It could easily be integrated by installing doors from the Garden Room. Overall the property could accommodate up to 3 separate family units if required.
