Poachers Pocket
Poachers Pocket is a beautifully appointed family home offering elegant and flexible accommodation across two floors. Immaculately presented throughout, the home blends contemporary design with comfort and high-quality materials, creating a space ideal for modern living.
At the front of the property, a spacious sitting room enjoys a dual aspect, oak-engineered flooring, recessed Hue in-ceiling lighting, and a striking fireplace with a Stovax wood-burning stove—a perfect space to unwind.
To the rear, a spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining, and family room offers a superb environment for everyday living and entertaining. Large aluminium bi-fold doors flood the space with natural light and provide seamless access to the garden. The space features porcelain tiles, integrated Sonos audio with Bowers & Wilkins in-ceiling speakers, and multi-zone underfloor heating (which covers the whole the ground floor) for year-round comfort.
The German-designed Rotpunkt kitchen combines form and function, featuring:
• Neff integrated appliances including a dishwasher, two single ovens, a microwave oven, induction hob and a combination steam/conventional oven
• Waste disposal unit
• Breakfast bar and extensive storage
• Space for an American-style fridge/freezer (available by separate negotiation)
A separate Rotpunkt utility room houses:
• Space for washing machine and tumble dryer
• Water softener
• Porcelain tiled flooring
The first floor includes three generous double bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes—bespoke by a local company in the principal suite, and Sliderobes in bedrooms two and three. A fourth bedroom offers ideal flexibility for use as a nursery, guest room, or dedicated home office. The main bedroom includes a stylish en suite, while the contemporary family bathroom serves the additional bedrooms. Both feature high-end finishes from premium brands such as:
• Vanity Hall, Laufen, Duravit, and Bette (including a slipper bath)
• Zehnder heated towel rails
• Megaflow pressurised water system
• Porcelain tiling throughout
• Integrated Sonos audio with Bowers & Wilkins in-ceiling speakers.
To the front, the home is set back behind a gravel driveway and well-maintained lawn, bordered by mature shrubs, hedgerows, and trees. A five-bar timber gate leads to a detached double garage and the rear garden. The landscaped rear garden includes a paved patio area—perfect for entertaining—plus a well-kept lawn with fencing and hedgerow borders, backing onto open countryside and enjoying uninterrupted views.
Security is enhanced with a house and garage alarm system, and the fully boarded loft is equipped with power and Cat-5e hardwired ethernet (which is also throughout the house) — perfect for additional storage or a future conversion.
