Upon approaching the property, the first thing that strikes you is its wonderful setting - with open countryside to the front and rear, the house enjoys beautiful views over green fields. Pulling into the gravelled horseshoe driveway, Stonecroft creates an excellent first impression, with its impressive frontage reminiscent of a New England home.

At the heart of the home is the stunning kitchen / breakfast room which opens on to the dining room - the perfect space for entertaining friends or simply gathering as a family. The bespoke kitchen is minimalist in style, featuring sleek, high gloss, white cabinetry and beautifully contrasting worktops. It’s easy to picture yourself perched at the kitchen island enjoying that first, freshly brewed, coffee of the morning, or perhaps a well-earned glass of wine in the evening. With a Rangemaster range (featuring a five-ring induction hob, grill and double oven) plus American-style fridge-freezer, this kitchen is set up for those who take their cooking (and entertaining) seriously.
The dining room is flooded with natural light, thanks to two large windows with views over the garden. Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen, this is a superb entertaining space - whether you’re enjoying a relaxed family supper or celebrating a special occasion with loved ones. There is plenty of room for a large dining table and chairs, as well as additional furniture if required. This is the perfect setting to enjoy making memories and sharing meals, and good times, with family and friends. Leading on from the dining room is a large sitting room - a tranquil, light-filled space which provides a relaxing environment for spending time together as family or simply unwinding after work. French doors lead out to the patio, providing the perfect flow for entertaining and enjoying the garden during the summer months. A free-standing log burner creates a striking focal point and is a delightful addition for cosying up in front of over the winter.
In addition to the sitting room, the house has a cosy family room - a versatile space which also enjoys views over the garden. A lovely setting for relaxing, it would also make an excellent playroom, snug or creative studio. Adjacent to the family room is a sizeable home office / gym with countryside views to the front of the property, which make working from home (or working out) a pleasure. This is another adaptable space that could also be repurposed for any number of uses. Completing the downstairs is a stylish cloakroom with contemporary white suite and a utility room with access to the garage - both invaluable additions for anyone juggling a typically busy family life.
