About the property

SCARGILL MANN & CO OFFER FOR SALE THIS RARE AND UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE THIS FOUR DOUBLE BEDROOM BESPOKE LAMINATED POST AND TIMBER BEAM CONSTRUCTED PROPERTY, IMPORTED FROM FINLAND AND SET IN JUST OVER AN ACRE OF GARDEN AND GROUNDS IN THE HIGHLY FAVOURED VILLAGE OF SUTTON ON THE HILL.

The Property

Superbly situated with views over rolling countryside in the charming village of Sutton-On-The-Hill, Ashbourne, is this unique four-bedroom detached timber frame home of laminated post and beam construction, imported from Finland, being completed and signed off in 2018.  

The residence offers a blend of modern living and natural beauty. Set on approximately an acre of land, the grounds were previously used as an organic market garden, with established fruit trees and a borehole water supply that enhances its appeal.

The entrance door opens into a welcoming hallway with natural wood walls and doors leading off to a modern fitted cloakroom and the heart of the property: a stunning open plan lounge, dining and kitchen area. The area features floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that flood the space with natural light and provide spectacular views of the picturesque countryside, along with a central timber staircase. A glazed door leads out onto the southwest-facing veranda, where you can relax and enjoy the serene surroundings.

There is also a utility room off the kitchen area that offers an opportunity to create a sauna.

The first floor is dedicated to comfort, showcasing four double bedrooms. The principal bedroom comes complete with a private balcony and a walk-in wardrobe, ensuring ample storage with the potential to redevelop this space into an en-suite. A modern family bathroom completes the accommodation on the first floor.

Outside

To the front of the property is shared access from the road leading to a private driveway providing ample parking for multiple vehicles, along with a detached garage.  The home is further enhanced by a reliable water supply from an underground aquifer, accessed via an electric pump from a borehole 110 meters below the surface.

This remarkable property is a must-see, offering a perfect blend of contemporary design and tranquil country living, making it an ideal choice for families seeking a peaceful retreat.
