Oakdale This brand new home has been sympathetically designed and built to create stunning, versatile living. The green oak frame is visible in every room providing instant character and charm throughout the property. All rear facing reception rooms benefit from bifold doors to take full advantage of the stunning views.

Entering the property through the traditionally styled yet modern front door leads you to the family/reading/dining area with views straight through to the countryside beyond. This gives an immediate sense of space and tranquillity. The triple aspect sitting room lies to the left with access to a very spacious raised patio. Turn right and you pass a generous downstairs cloakroom and good sized storage room. This leads onto an outstanding kitchen/living/dining space allowing flexible design and use. The kitchen has all NEFF appliances; induction hob, fridge

freezer, dishwasher and two slide and hide multi function ovens. There is a large island unit with pop up power and USB charging points with ample under counter drawer and cupboard storage. Adjacent is the utility with matching units and a ceramic sink. The house water softener by Monarch is housed beneath this. Nu Heat Pro hot water cylinder and NIBE heating controls are housed in a recessed area off the utility. There is also space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The porcelain tiled flooring which covers the majority of the ground floor is continued outside with matching external grade tiles. This patio area extends up to 4m in depth and spans beyond the entire width of the house.

An oak staircase leads to the first floor with approximately 9' ceiling height throughout. Turn to the left and at one end of the house you will find two good sized double bedrooms. Ahead is the family bathroom with separate bath and shower.

There is also a wide ceramic sink over wall mounted vanity unit, WC and heated towel rail. To the right lies the 5th bedroom. A small double which would make a beautiful study with plenty of character oak and a view over the front of the house to observe the arrival of visitors. Passing down the landing and through an opening in the oak frame, leads on to two further bedrooms. Bedroom 2 is situated to the front of the house and is steeped in oak detail with a vaulted ceiling. There is an ensuite shower room with wc, heated towel rail and wall hung vanity unit and ceramic sink. The double aspect master bedroom lies to the rear of the house and enjoys extensive views of the garden, field, valley and woodland beyond. The vaulted ceiling exposes an abundance of oak and adds further character to this special room. The walk in wardrobe and the tucked away ensuite shower room are both sizeable and benefit from natural light. The ensuite is equipped with an extra wide Duravit sink and two drawer wall hung vanity unit and close coupled wc. There is a walk in shower with fixed drencher head and separate hand held outlet. A large heated designer towel rail completes the ergonomic design of this room.

Exterior Double five-bar gates access the property from a quiet single track road. Parking is provided to the front and side of the property and can cater for in excess of 4 cars. Planning permission has been granted to commence construction of a garage and store shed. There is a great sized patio area to the front and a significantly larger one to the rear. Both accessed from the large kitchen/living/dining room and the rear also being accessed from sitting room and the family/reading/dining room. The same pattern porcelain stone flows through all these areas with a charcoal coloured tile detailing patio edges and steps.

There are two sets of steps leading down from the patio to the large rear garden which is laid to lawn. There are deep raised beds between patio and garden to allow for colourful and seasonal plantings. The boundaries are a mix of mature hedge, post and rail with newly planted hedging and post and wire to allow an uninterrupted view to the rear.

The property has a key focus on modern living in a traditional mature looking home. There is conscious thought to minimising maintenance for ease of living. The property uses solid oak bargeboards and fascias and high quality painted wood look and traditionally styled PVC windows. The render is a through colour silicone based product designed to never require any decoration. The Eco qualities of an Air Source Heat Pump and insulation levels in excess of current legislation aims to provide exceptional economic running costs.
