LOW HOUSE
WITHIN THE HOUSE. Seamlessly merging modern and original, this frankly breath taking property dates back in parts to the early 1600 s and has been fastidiously updated by the current owners to create a very special home for one or more generations of a family to enjoy. Creatively linked, this is a home of two halves; within the older part of the house, magnificent original features such as exposed beams and stone mullioned windows are complimented and enhanced by workmanship of the highest order. Quality materials and bespoke craftsmanship by Graham Middleton has been utilised wherever possible to emulate the period.
The ground floor boasts four beautiful reception rooms, a welcoming and generous entrance hall, a fabulous en-suite ground floor bedroom and a stunning, quality kitchen, along side a very useful utility and cloakroom. The first floor enjoys three immaculately presented double bedrooms and two beautiful house bathroom. Throughout, the aspect from every window is a delight; neatly landscaped welcoming gardens offer a wealth of colour and intrigue.

This contemporary addition again boasts a fantastic array of original barn type features that have been creatively adapted into a magnificent, modern living space, a superb Carl Josef Living Kitchen that opens out on to the garden is adjacent to a more formal reception space and further complimented by two fabulous double bedrooms and a spectacular Marble bathroom that was hand picked from the quarry by the vendor for the intricacy of its vein.

Approached via a tree lined driveway, the setting of Low House is unrivalled. Peaceful, and surrounded by rolling countryside, the land amounts to approximately 8 acres; 2.5 of which is picturesque woodland, a 4 acre paddock and 1.5 acres of simply delightful gardens. The drive leads to a courtyard setting around which the house and outbuildings nestle. Quirky, formal and informal gardens have been exquisitely designed to provide a haven for wildlife, ensuring the maturity of many hardy plants and shrubs yet have created different areas for different moods. There are follies and water features and plentiful places to sit and enjoy these stunning surroundings. Many of the beautiful stone buildings that had fallen into disrepair have been salvaged in part to create wonderful and interesting features, the vendors own stained glass designs can be found included within and perhaps the most impressive is the substantial barn that has historically fallen down. This fabulous space has been impressively transformed into a wonderful private hot tub area with bespoke marble water feature and giant chess board. Practically there is a large barn that is presently utilised as a garage but would lend itself well to stabling or further development if so required and subject to usual consents.
