Property Description
If you also like your history, then you might want to do some research as this superb home has been created from being originally the barns and granary store for the Temple Elfande estate which was granted to the Knights Templar in 1279, so this tucked away family home at the end of a rural lane in Capel really is attached to some interesting history!
This is a home you won't find unless you need to or want to. Tucked away in a remote spot yet within just a few minutes of village life, you will certainly appreciate the privacy.
Inside the house you are really spoilt by what has been thoughtfully created. From the moment you step into the hall you have the choice of going left or right - go left and you'll find a wet room, family room, indoor swimming pool area with sauna, master bedroom suite with ensuite bathroom, and a converted loft space, whereas go right and you find the large kitchen breakfast room, the living room, the vaulted dining room, and the landing leading to the remaining bedrooms.
Outside the grounds are truly excellent, with large flat lawns, a lake with an island, a pond, shrub and flower beds aplenty, hedgerows, and far-reaching views over open fields towards Leith Hill. To the front of the house is the large gravelled driveway with parking for multiple vehicles, the detached garage, and former pig sties. To the side within the grounds, perfect for family, friends or guests is a separate one bedroom detached cottage with its own private garden.
It's hard to put into words how lovely this home is, and it really must be viewed to fully appreciate everything it has to offer - but it's an exciting home so we'd suggest allowing plenty of time to view as you'll not want to rush away!
EweMove is very proud to be appointed to help find the next discerning owner. We're open 24/7 for booking viewings so simply pick up the phone or just book online, and come and see what's on offer.
