Description

Atlas House is an exceptional property dating from c. 1820 which has only just received a programme of extensive refurbishment to include extending and reconfiguring the existing layout. Meticulous thought has gone into every element and detail without compromise. It masterfully combines the convenience of modern living with the original period features left tastefully in tact. The outcome is something quite spectacular, a captivating turn-key luxurious family home of impeccable style complemented by an extensive private manicured garden, patio areas which are strategically positioned to make the most of the southerly and westerly orientations, Paddocks, Woods, Terraced Garden and a Detached Garden Room. This 5 Bedroom residence extends to approximately 374 Sq. M (4,026 Sq Ft.) and is set on 4.51 Hectares (11.14 Acres) altogether. The property enjoys a wonderfully private, picturesque and elevated south facing setting, with views of the surrounding lush green countryside and mature woods. The house sits elegantly and is approached by a gravel driveway flanked by mature shrubbery and a meandering stream. A beautiful patio area is in front of the house and leads to the main entrance door, a decision was made not to have vehicles in front of the house as they would detract from its aesthetical appeal. The high quality solid front door sets the tone for what comes after. Upon entering the property, you are greeted by a double height expansive Reception Hall with chandeliers and a centrepiece bespoke staircase which allows the light from a large window at the rear to flood the hall with natural light. Two formal reception rooms are either side of the hall and would form part of the original house with 6′ stone walls. The ‘Great’ room is on your right and a snug reception room on your left. Both rooms feature magnificent stone fireplaces with wood burning stoves. The rear or the house has been extended to provide a corridor to the new two storey extension on the western side of the residence. There is a Double bedroom or study with a separate shower room off this corridor to the rear of the house. The new extension provides a fantastic light filled space with great flexibility and practical day-to-day family living at its core. It is where the contemporary element really stands out with the superb open plan kitchen/dining/living room. Complete with underfloor heating, timber flooring, clever storage units, stone counter tops and a large centre island with electric hob and ventilation, downlighting above.
