Escape To The Country

Unique and something special. A truly stunning property set in a beautiful wrap around garden with countryside views. Set in the village of Fairstead, this detached four bedroom home is positioned on approximately 2/3 of an acre of landscaped gardens (STS), surrounded by open countryside.

The Grade II listed home is a wonderful blend of traditional and contemporary design, featuring exposed oak beams, solid oak flooring, character features throughout, and an impressive garden room opening out to a sunny, south facing patio area for easy outdoor living.

Inside, the accommodation comprises four reception rooms, four bedrooms, a bathroom, shower room, kitchen and utility room. The snug features an Inglenook fireplace, creating a cosy space to curl up with a book or enjoy family films and favourite TV shows. This leads through to the office, which provides an enjoyable work-from-home environment and benefits from its own open fireplace.

The bespoke Murdoch Troon kitchen is sure to delight keen cooks while enjoying lovely views across the gardens. The hallway, kitchen and dining room are finished with elegant Travertine stone flooring, adding warmth and character throughout. The dining room is ideal for family meals and entertaining, particularly on special occasions, and flows seamlessly into the stunning garden room with its high vaulted ceilings, generous seating space, and picturesque views across the gardens and countryside beyond.

During the summer months, the bi-fold doors can be opened onto the patio area, where you can sit and enjoy the beautiful garden views. The south facing garden provides the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining, family barbecues, and summer gatherings.

The home offers flexible sleeping accommodation, with two bedrooms on the ground floor and two further bedrooms upstairs, all enjoying wonderful views to wake up to each morning. A family bathroom and separate shower room provide added convenience, particularly when hosting guests or during busy mornings.

A particularly unique feature of the property is the owners' garden pub, "The Dog & Duck", creating a charming country style entertaining space perfect for socialising with family and friends. Additional outbuildings include a generous sized gardening shed.

This home has been the backdrop to many happy occasions, especially during the summer months. The expansive landscaped gardens surround the property on three sides and offer so much to explore and enjoy, including a shady bluebell and fern copse, an area of open lawn with views across neighbouring farmland, a lower rear garden area currently used as a firepit space, and further gardens featuring mature trees and shrubs. Winding pathways lead to hidden corners and peaceful spots where you can relax and enjoy the surrounding countryside and spectacular sunsets.

For those looking to accommodate older relatives or provide older children with greater independence, the property's flexible layout offers the potential for two separate living areas, each with its own front door, bathroom facilities, and separate central heating systems. This arrangement makes hosting family and guests particularly easy, while also allowing greater control over heating costs when only part of the home is in use. The accommodation may also present an opportunity to create an Airbnb-style guest space, taking advantage of the area's excellent transport links and beautiful rural setting
