Introduction
This detached Siberian Larch clad property was renovated by the current Architect owners between and now offers a perfect blend of contemporary design and period features with three bedrooms, three reception rooms and two bathrooms. With landscaped gardens designed to be low maintenance but incredibly pretty, there is parking on the enclosed driveway, an integral garage and wonderful views onto the hills surrounding the village of Norton, near the border town of Presteigne.
The accommodation comprises: Front porch, entrance hallway, living room, snug, kitchen, dining room, downstairs bathroom and three double bedrooms.
Property description
This property has been renovated to a very high standard with the details carefully chosen by the owners to include high quality Velfac Scandinavian windows with composite timber / aluminium frames with high thermal values and low maintenance set in stained Siberian Larch cladding to compliment the surrounding area, improving thermal performance and chosen to reduce maintenance.
The front door leads into the porch, which is a very handy space for storing those muddy boots and coats from exploring the surrounding countryside. A second glazed door leads through into the main house with the inner hall with exposed timber flooring, exposed internal beams that are open to the living room with a large stone fireplace with adjacent bread oven and an inset multi fuel stove. An opening leading into the second reception room with part glazed roof to maximize solar gain and views. With fully openable glazed Velfac composite doors leading to the garden. From the inner hall, there are stairs rising to the first floor and a door into the ground floor bathroom which is a truly spectacular space with a contemporary white suite with central freestanding bath on a raised hardwood floor against a picture window to allow you to relax and enjoy the outside space.
From the inner hall is a second door which leads into the kitchen/dining space with ceramic tiled flooring, black contemporary units, white worktops and integrated appliances to include fridge, freezer, hob, oven, microwave and dishwasher. The original Aga has been retained in the kitchen. The new owner could look to restore the Aga and reinstate the chimney and flue. The dining area has ample space for a table and chairs and again has Velfac glazed composite doors leading to the garden. Extensive storage is available along the one wall with sliding doors, as well as a pantry area. A further external door leads out to the garden.
On the first floor you find exposed floorboards and doors leading off to the three bedrooms, with the main bedroom retaining original features including vaulted ceilings and Elm floorboards and leads through to the third bedroom which could be used as an office
ursery or a dressing room. The shower room is located off the landing with contemporary white suite, metro almond tiling.
Gardens and parking
The property enjoys gardens extending to approximately 0.27 acres which have been landscaped by the current owners to include planting beds, lawned areas and perimeter hedging. There is a mixture of apples trees, soft fruit trees and a vegetable patch along with a herb area round the patio. The patio is south facing and perfect for summer BBQs and evenings enjoying your surroundings. The garden to the front of the property has a small pond and is landscaped to be low maintenance and is enclosed by timber fencing leading to the driveway with parking for a number of vehicles, gated entrance and integrated garage. The rear garden also has some outbuildings within the grounds to include a green house and two outbuildings. One just off the house has light and power and could be utlised for further space such a workshop; hobby room utility etc. The second outbuildings further up the garden and could be developed, with necessary permissions etc, into a home office or studio. Prospective purchasers could look to create a two car detached garage with direct access onto Offas Green at the top end of the gardens. (subject to planning permission).
