Summerhill House is a most impressive family home, situated in an idyllic
setting along a quiet and private no - through road, with the house and its

The house was built to an exacting standard in 2013 by the current owner, with
an eye on building in a tradition manner and a timeless design, effortlessly
blending that brief with all the desired modern conveniences such as limestone
tiled and engineered wood floors with underfloor heating, a contemporary
kitchen with electric aga and a range of premium integrated appliances, Cat 5
cabling, rako lighting, a Control 4 entertainment system and an air
circulation system on the ground floor. Though it has a wealth of
technological benefits, the house is built in a traditional style, with
country - inspired interiors complementary to the rural setting and handsome red
brick elevations in keeping with the local vernacular. The neutral colour
palette throughout, high ceilings and tall windows affords an abundance of
natural light and gives the house a very light and airy feel.

ft, with a choice of reception areas to easily facilitate big family
gatherings and celebrations. On the ground floor there is an entrance hallway
leading to a large drawing room, playroom, study and open plan family/dining
room. There are a number of service rooms, including two WCs, boot room,

dressing room and stylish en suite bath/shower room, three further double
bedrooms (two en suite) and a family bathroom. There are a further two double
bedrooms, a shower room and a useful large storeroom on the top floor.

countryside. The gardens include formal lawned areas bordered by a range of
shrub plants and flowerbeds, a kitchen garden and greenhouse, a summerhouse
and store. To the front there is a detached garage with parking opposite.
