Coneybanks is a substantial family home built for the current owners in 2008. Its pleasing traditional design, with mellow brick elevations, sash windows and a gabled porch, sits well within its setting. Surrounded by farmland, the house enjoys views across a neighbouring reservoir.

Internally the house offers well balanced, comfortable accommodation which radiates off a galleried hall. To one end a bright, triple aspect drawing room occupies the full depth of the house with views over the garden. With a fireplace housing a wood-burning stove, this peaceful room provides a more formal space.

The kitchen to the back of the house is arranged around an island and is open plan to both a sitting/family room and the breakfast room. Double doors lead, in turn, to a garden room and together this wonderful space provides the most fantastic day-to-day living area. The light provided by the garden room and the cosy wood-burning stove in the sitting area, makes it a sociable place for all seasons.

A generous study sits to the south end of the house and there is a large boot room, utility and cloakroom, providing the sort of practical space that it so useful in a country home.

Four bedrooms are arranged off the bright and spacious first floor landing. The principal room enjoys an en suite shower room and doors opening to a west-facing balcony with views over the grounds. A second bedroom has an en suite shower room and the two further well-proportioned bedrooms share a large family bathroom.

A second floor playroom provides a flexible retreat at the top of the house, and is currently arranged as a gym and music room.

This property has 4.24 acres of land.
