From the heavyset front door to Eleuthera House you will enter into the hallway which offers space to the left-hand side for fitted cabinetry to accommodate coats and boots along with an alarm control panel.
As you continue through the hallway, you can see right through the sitting room, through the glazed rear aspect, looking out across the gardens and fields beyond.
The house has a wholly open plan ground floor, with living room offering fully glazed bi-folding doors on two sides and boasts a working fireplace. Both sets of bi-folding doors open outwards to the rear and the left-hand side onto the paved terrace entertaining area, and down to the sunken terrace area and party room and guest suite beyond.
Beyond the hallway is the large kitchen, dining & family area, this will be fully fitted with a handmade and hand-painted kitchen, (colour available to be chosen subject to build stage).

The substantial island has space for up to six bar stool seats around it, in addition to the separate dining area with ample space for a large table and chairs. This area also benefits from access via bi-folding doors onto the rear-terrace.
The ground floor family snug is on the front of the house and is perfect to double as a playroom or additional TV room. Concluding the ground floor accommodation is the well-appointed cloakroom and staircases which lead to the first floor and lower ground floor levels from the central entrance hall.
Rising up the staircase with painted white spindles you find the first-floor accommodation, which comprises the extensive principle bedroom suite with Juliet balcony, accessed via bi-folds overlooking the landscaped rear gardens, with the farmland beyond. Worthy of note is the fully glazed end wall enabling the principal suite to enjoy not only the views from inside, but also the enormous amount of light that floods into this room.
The principle suite also offers a gentlemen’s dressing room, leading into the large master ensuite bathroom, which is fitted with a dual ended bath, twin basins, and large walk-in shower. Located on the second floor above the master suite, the ladies’ dressing room is suspended from the roof apex creating a galleried balcony overlooking the master suite and through the glazed rear elevation, giving views across the garden and the fields beyond. Both dressing areas could be fitted with extensive hanging and cupboard space, customisable to the purchases needs of configuration subject to the stage of build and negotiation.
