Formerly a period detached cottage, Ash House has been the subject of huge improvement and renovation together with having been remodeled with new additions, completed early in 2013. The owners have created a superb family home that more than adequately blends old with new. The focus for the house was to take advantage of the incredible location with its associated views that only a viewing will fully justify. The well planned and easily maintained accommodation is arranged over two floors with the main feature being a full-height glazed projection to the front that provides a huge amount of natural light. The ground floor comprises a stunning entrance hall, well-proportioned sitting room with fireplace and wood burner, downstairs cloakroom, study and a fabulous open plan kitchen/dining/family room. There is also a utility room. On the first floor a galleried landing gives access to four bedrooms which includes a master suite with a luxuriously appointed en-suite bathroom and separate dressing room. The first floor is completed with a shared and luxuriously appointed family bathroom. Ash House is warmed by an oil-fired central heating system with cast iron radiators throughout and there is double glazing within hard wood frames. There has been much use of oak with quality joinery together with exposed flooring.
