Description
Shaws is a beautiful country home, occupying a glorious rural setting on the fringes of Littley Green. Built in 2011, the house is of oak frame construction under a tiled roof, and was built after the current owner successfully secured planning permission to replace the existing cottage. The property sits well on its plot, of around two thirds of an acre site, behind automated entrance gates leading to a gravel sweep with an attractive cart lodge to its left.
The accommodation has been thoughtfully designed, flows well and is light and airy throughout. All the rooms enjoy views over the beautifully maintained grounds and undulating countryside beyond, with those from the very large picture window on the stairs and the Juliet balcony in the principal bedroom suite being of particular note.
The house has been designed with a view to sustainability and its air source heat pump, underfloor heating and hot water. The main reception room features a wood burning stove. The interior has been finished to a high specification with great attention to detail and includes a bespoke Hacker kitchen finished with Miele appliances and Corian worksurfaces, Utopia sanitaryware and Gerberit and Roca bathroom fittings, porcelain tiled floors and a vaulted principal bedroom suite.
Outside
Outside there is a three bay oak-framed cart lodge automated roller doors and Newmotion ev charging station, a delightful garden, terrace and entertaining area, a large manicured lawn, herbaceous borders, a variety of trees, a vegetable garden, a greenhouse and a substantial koi pond (which could revert to a hot tub). There is also a small outbuilding, which has been subdivided to provide a room for the storage of garden machinery and the other room for use as a garden store.
Services
Mains water and electricity. Private drainage. Central heating fueled by an air source heat pump. Fibre broadband. Water and electricity to several areas in the garden.
