Dragonsfield offers bright and airy accommodation well suited to modern family living, with a stunning open-plan kitchen/ dining and family room creating the hub of this stylish home. A design of clean-lines and contemporary fittings in the kitchen, includes wall and base level units, integrated appliances and an island, with granite work surfaces. The dining and adjacent seating area are flooded with light courtesy of a lantern window in the ceiling and their natural position alongside the sliding doors, which open onto a garden terrace blending inside living seamlessly with the outdoors. The inclusion of an alcove within this open space offers the perfect spot for a family area, with an adjacent utility room providing additional storage units and space for appliances. Double doors on the opposite side of the central reception hall, give access to a separate reception room, where a vaulted ceiling creates an architectural feature.

An inner hallway leads to the bedroom accommodation on the ground floor, which comprises the principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room, with three further bedrooms and a well-fitted family bathroom, with separate shower cubicle. A staircase rises to the first floor, where a study and a boutique-style bedroom with en suite bathroom are situated in the eaves of the house, and where statement triangular windows at the gable ends are a feature.

Outside

A sweeping gravelled driveway gives access to the front of the house, providing parking for cars and boat storage, and leading to the double garage. Areas of lawn, bordered by specimen shrubs and trees enhance the gardens fronting the roadway and those to the rear of the house. A large expanse of paved terracing adjoins the house, providing opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation, with a further terrace to the side enjoying the sunny southerly aspect.
