With breath-taking views from every window and an adaptable layout ideal for multigenerational living, this exceptional home invites you to experience countryside living at its finest.

 A grand welcome

The scale and scope of Two Rivers captivates upon arrival: parking is ample, with a double garage, an electric vehicle charging point and the option to park directly in front of the entrance or in the large car park to the rear. Stepping inside, the grand entrance hall impresses with its striking black-and-white chequered flooring, a sweeping light oak staircase with its central, cascading chandelier and an abundance of natural light. 

Designed to entertain

For those who love to entertain, the games room is a showstopper. Flowing seamlessly from the entrance hall, this lively space has hosted pool tournaments, giant chess games, and unforgettable parties. The monochrome tiles draw warmth from the underfloor heating, a feature running throughout the ground floor, keeping the space at a constant, ambient temperature. In summertime, throw open the French doors and let the party spill out onto the patio, as the refreshments flow from the bespoke bar to one corner of the games room, the cherry on the cake for this definitive social space.

Feast your eyes

The heart of the home is the expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. Flooded with light from vast bifolding doors opening onto the patio, this sociable hub is perfect for hosting family gatherings. A sleek L-shaped breakfast bar invites lively conversations, while the glass-fronted walnut and white wide drawer cabinetry offers an abundance of storage. High-end appliances, including a double oven, microwave and a generous fridge, ensure effortless meal preparation. Tucked off the kitchen, there is plumbing for a washing machine and dryer in the spacious utility room, which also houses two freezers. Sliding doors conceal a large cupboard, handy for storage and also accommodating the main heating systems, CCTV and fuse boxes. Also accessed from the kitchen, a versatile office space provides panoramic views over the fields, making it an inspiring home workspace or a potential playroom.

A home of endless possibilities

Two Rivers offers incredible flexibility, with a second wing of the house overflowing with the potential for independent living. An inner hallway leads to two spacious double bedrooms, flooded with light and one with French doors opening to the garden. Across from the bedrooms, refresh and revive in the handy bathroom complete with jacuzzi bath and storage room next door.. The inner hallway also provides access to the adjoining double garage, which, with underfloor heating, presents exciting conversion potential for a self-contained kitchen and living space.

Savour the views

Also from the inner hallway, a spiral staircase leads up to a serene and spacious upstairs sitting room, set beneath a high, vaulted ceiling and warmed by the toasty glow of a modern log-burning stove with exposed flue. Spectacular views feature to both sides. From here, step into the sunroom, a perfect paradise with a private balcony - ideal for curling up with a book while absorbing the stunning sunsets over the marshes.

And so to bed…

Beyond the upper sitting room, a guest bedroom with an ensuite shower room is tucked away, providing visiting relatives and friends perfect privacy and seclusion. The main galleried landing reconnects this wing with the heart of the home, where four further, bountifully sized bedrooms await. A centrally positioned guest bedroom enjoys access to a Jack and Jill bathroom, while two further doubles offer enchanting views. Peacefully positioned at the end of the landing, the principal bedroom is a true sanctuary, bathed in golden evening light with spectacular sunset views framed by a large window. A fully fitted dressing room and luxurious ensuite complete this peaceful retreat. Accessible attics provide additional storage, with entry points from both the utility room and one of the upstairs bedrooms.
