Do you watch Grand Designs? This home would fit into the programme without any difficulty as it has been built with all the latest technology and ideas.

Full of light and space it enjoys district views from every window. Being insulated throughout (4 star energy rating) it is easy to run with the bills being reduced to almost nothing with the separate 10kw solar panel installation.

It stands out above the competition with its soaring ceilings in the central family area and carefully designed separated living and bedroom wings. This is much more than just a place to live..it has an ambience which makes you feel good just to be in it!

Accommodation consists of four bedrooms with two bathrooms plus a powder room adjacent to the formal rooms.

The huge family area flows off from the kitchen with a large fireplace as a focus. The galley kitchen is top of the line with two ovens and a heavy duty gas cooktop. (plus dishwasher of course.) It also benefits from a large walk-in pantry.

There is a separate formal dining room, lounge and study in the south wing which can be shut off from the rest of the house. The lounge can also double as a rumpus which is its present use. The bedroom wing is on the north side with large windows allowing full sun. Accessible from both the family room and main bedroom is a spacious deck which enjoys wide ranging views of the valley.

Storage is a feature of the home with cupboards galore and all bedrooms are doubles. Designed for country living there are wooden floors throughout all heavy traffic areas. Heating is reverse cycle for the bedrooms, gas for the formal areas plus a large slow combustion in the main area.

If this all sounds excellent, it isbut wait there's more!

Behind and above the huge garage ( 3 roller doors including an extra height one) which also includes a workshop, is a great two bedroom studio. (There is also a mezzanine for storage and an extra carport.) In excess of 120m2 (bigger than most standard homes) the studio is completely self-contained and could be used for a variety of purposes.

The home sits on a gently sloping 10 acres highly suitable for horses. Extras include the fenced vegetable garden.

This is unquestionably one of the jewels of the district. If it sounds like your Grand Design, pick up the phone and book your personal inspection.
