The property: Acorn House is a handsome executive home offering a blend of both comfortable everyday living and formal entertaining spaces which are orientated towards the captivating views over rolling countryside. Built in 2019, the unique attention to detail throughout combines traditional craftsmanship such as solid oak doors and oak flooring with modern day comforts, including convenient electronic hardware in every room and underfloor heating downstairs.

The house has a wonderful balance of accommodation over two floors and two “wings” with a careful use of glazing allowing an abundance of natural light and giving far reaching views.

A full height picture window frames both the room and the view, along with Bi-fold doors linking the indoor entertaining space with outside. Three reception rooms compliment the living spaces; a cosy family room which could serve as a winter snug or playroom, a study, and a triple aspect drawing room with log burning stove and Bi-fold doors.
