THE PROPERTY

Applewood is a fine detached family home of real individuality, occupying a peaceful yet highly convenient position on the edge of Probus. Built in 2014, the property has been designed with scale, light and flexibility in mind, combining contemporary country styling with practical modern accommodation. The house opens into a welcoming entrance hall, where oak flooring, a feature staircase and galleried landing create an immediate sense of space and quality. From here, the principal rooms flow naturally, making the house equally suited to everyday living and entertaining.

At the heart of the home is a superb open-plan kitchen/dining room, an outstanding space measuring approximately 39'0" x 21'3". The kitchen is fitted with cream gloss cabinetry, granite work surfaces and a large central island with breakfast bar seating, while the dining area provides ample room for a substantial table. Wide glazed doors open directly onto the rear terrace, framing the outlook over the gardens and countryside beyond.

Adjoining the kitchen/dining room is a generous sitting room with oak flooring, fitted cabinetry and a contemporary inset fireplace. A broad opening leads through to the garden room, where wide windows and glazed doors take full advantage of the garden aspect and rural views. Together, these rooms create a beautifully connected sequence of living spaces for family life, entertaining and quiet relaxation. A separate study provides an excellent home office, while the substantial utility/boot room offers extensive storage, laundry space and direct outside access — ideal for family use, dogs and countryside living.

The annexe is a particularly valuable feature, adding excellent flexibility to the overall accommodation. With its own external access, generous principal room, adjoining utility area and shower room, it is well suited to dependent relatives, visiting family, older children, guest accommodation, a studio, office suite or additional reception space. On the first floor, the spacious galleried landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys views over the garden and countryside, with French doors opening to a Juliet balcony, a dedicated wardrobe/dressing area and an en suite shower room. Bedroom two also benefits from built-in storage and an en suite, while bedrooms three and four are served by the family bathroom.

Outside, a broad brick-paved driveway provides extensive parking and turning space. To the rear, a large paved terrace sits immediately outside the kitchen/dining room and garden room, forming a natural outdoor entertaining area. Steps lead down to generous lawns bordered by mature trees, hedging and established planting, with open views giving the property a calm and secluded feel. There is a substantial cellar and adjoining garden store, ideal for garden machinery, tools, sporting equipment, bicycles, kayaks, workshop use or general household storage.
