Built to an extremely high standard in 1979 this house is unusual in its size and amount of accommodation. Nothing is skimped and there is a wonderful sense of space for a modern house. However, for me the real bonus is the gardens, land and lake. All one plot by using the different levels varied areas to the garden have been beautifully created – a country park on the edge of town.
Enter the house into a large central hallway, to the left is the lounge, 49 m² it runs the length of the house with views over the lawn and garden, and stone fireplace. To the right is the fitted kitchen, 31m², with fireplace and eating area. At the back of the house are two bedrooms and large bathroom with separate shower. The polished stone used as flooring in the hall continues up the stairs to the first floor. Here there are four further bedrooms, shower room, and two further rooms for storage. The semi-basement has an office, utility room/ boiler room, two wine caves, more storage rooms, and double garage/workshop. To the front and rear of the house are covered terraces.
The 2nd cottage houses the garden machine shed and pool changing room on the ground floor, whilst above is the shell of a holiday apartment. Above the cottage is the lake; the previous owner was into pumps, and created a complicated system of land drainage water capture, and well water to fill the lake; currently drained by the new owner. today it is a wildlife haven with a small central pond. Beyond the lake is an area of trees. The whole of the property is fenced. There is a small fish-pond and a magnificent vegetable garden as well as lawns and shrubs.
