Superb house of over 3000 square feet in 0.64 acre on rural edge of Tarvin

Fine individual house of excellent proportion and design, extending to over 3000 square feet, set in a lovely plot of 0.64 acre, enjoying fabulous views and located on the rural edge of Tarvin village

Comment from Robert Reed of Gascoigne Halman

Dreams can come true is the key line from one of my favourite songs of the 1990¿s era. Not only does this indicate the era that I grew up, but it is also a song you will be singing if you end up being the purchaser of this very special home, which is offered to the market with no chain.

The location is outstanding, being on the rural edge of Tarvin, on a quiet lane where there is only a very small number of houses. The subject property benefits from rural aspects to the front side and rear. The plot extends in total to 0.64 acre and has been superbly designed so as to incorporate terraced seating area, a large expanse of lawn, an orchard and raised beds for growing vegetables. Also if you like raspberries, strawberries and fruit trees, this will be a great opportunity for you to indulge those likes!

The current family owners acquired in 2010 what was at that point a large but tired detached bungalow. Permission was soon gained to transform it into the most attractive two storey home you see today. It very much has the look, feel and atmosphere of a modern cottage, but that is not to say it is anything other than large, extending to over 3000 square feet in size.

Internally the house has recently been redecorated and it is notable for the very generous room sizes, large amount of natural light and a best in class layout. The highlight of the ground floor is the open plan kitchen dining and family room which extends to 38 feet in length and links perfectly to the garden by multiple sets of bi fold doors. The bespoke kitchen is hand made and the area as a whole is just perfect for day to day life. And having grown up with one, I also always love walk in pantries!

Other assets on the ground floor include a sizable utility room, log burner in the kitchen area and an open fire in the principal L shaped reception room. Another stand out feature is the ground floor bedroom that has both an en suite and dressing room. This is a luxurious bedroom that would make a super guest suite. It could alternatively provide a long term ground floor living option for those who start to find stairs more challenging, and an ideal snug or tv room with adjoining office until then. The upstairs has three outstanding double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes and they are served by two bathrooms plus an en suite cloakroom.

Externally the garden links well to the house itself and there is a great sense of maturity, establishment and privacy within the grounds. The outbuildings comprise a long greenhouse, log store and implement store, the latter of which would make an ideal home office. There is already electricity, a basin and toilet in place. And for those practically minded, full fibre internet is now available in the area.

This is an exceptional buying opportunity and with a very competitive guide price, I anticipate significant interest.
