Description
Annis Hill House was converted from traditional farm buildings during 2008/09 to a stylish and contemporary design with natural stone elevations under a slate roof. The light and bright accommodation is extremely versatile. All fittings are of high quality with underfloor heating throughout. There is stone tiling through most of the living accommodation, solid oak floors and staircases, contemporary bath and shower fittings and a well fitted kitchen area. The main living area is flooded with natural light with floor to ceiling windows and sliding doors to the garden. With its vaulted ceiling and exposed roof trusses and timbers the living space creates a stunning entertaining area. A central fireplace divides the dining area from the sitting area with the fireplace opening to both. There is a further large reception room opening to the garden. On the ground floor there is also a bedroom, a large study as well as a shower room, wet room and utility room. The 1st floor is entirely made up of the master bedroom suite with dressing areas and plenty of fitted wardrobes and a beautifully fitted bathroom with free standing bath, walk in double shower and 2 wash basins. Stairs from the landing lead up to the 2nd floor where there is a well fitted shower room with walk in shower and 2 wash basins together with 2 bedroom areas which could be easily partitioned off to make 2 separate rooms. The property is fully double glazed and has underfloor heating throughout.
