THE PROPERTY
The present owners have transformed this individual detached property into a stunning and spacious home for the modern family. Perhaps the most impressive feature is the open-plan kitchen/dining/family/garden room with its pair of tri-fold doors overlooking the rear garden, although the rest of this exceptional home is of comparable quality. The ground floor also includes a separate sitting room, study, utility room, cloakroom/WC, two double bedrooms and a bathroom. On the first floor the master suite comprises a very generously proportioned bedroom with 'Juliet' balcony, dressing room and bathroom with both shower and bath. The second bedroom has an en suite shower room.
The house enjoys outstanding rural views to front and rear, high quality flooring, including natural limestone throughout much of the ground floor, uPVC double-glazed windows and door. Central heating, underfloor to the ground floor (with no fewer than 10 independently controlled zones) and radiators on the first, is supplied by an external oil fired boiler.
THE OUTSIDE
The house is set back from the Green in a plot extending to two-thirds of an acre and measuring approximately 498' by 57' (151.8m x 17.4m) overall.It is approached via a private driveway which circles a central lawn and provides generous off-road parking.
A paved terrace surrounds the house, extending as a patio to the rear. The rear garden is some 416' (126.9m) in length with a gate to the rear giving access to the Icknield Way Path. The garden is laid to extensive lawns with raised vegetable beds, fruit trees and mature conifers. A detached outbuilding provides two offices and a shower room/WC and a second outbuilding constructed of blockwork with timber cladding provides a workshop and garden store. In addition, there is a mobile home, with electricity, water and drainage connected.

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS
In line with industry regulations, estate agents are required to reference restrictive covenants in sales particulars. Restrictive covenants may guide how a property is used or altered, often to preserve an area's character. They can cover business or rental use, parking, boundaries, landscaping, external finishes, satellite equipment, and certain animals. Many are historic and may not affect everyday enjoyment. For more information, speak with the agent, and where relevant, full details will be confirmed during conveyancing.
EASEMENTS
In line with industry guidance, estate agents are required to reference restrictive easements in sales particulars. An easement gives a third party, such as a neighbour or utility company, limited access to the property for specific purposes, for example, on foot, by vehicle, or to maintain services. Some may also allow a neighbour to enter to carry out essential repairs. For more information, speak with the agent, and where relevant, full details will be confirmed during conveyancing.
FLOODING
In line with industry guidance, estate agents are required to reference flooding in sales particulars. Properties can be at risk of flooding and it is important for you to check if the property has been flooded in the last 5 years, what flood defences are in place and source of any flooding. For more information, speak with the agent, and where relevant, full details will be confirmed during conveyancing.
