Sometime a home’s name just fits it perfectly, and this is certainly the case with The Hermitage. Tucked into a wonderful plot with views over open fields to the rear, this lovely home is a world away from the busy beaches which lay only a few miles from its door. Built in 2012, a feeling of seclusion and privacy imbues its solid walls and creates a wonderfully comfortable and relaxing retreat.

The welcoming driveway draws you up to the attractive frontage, where the stone exterior is highlighted by modern sash windows. A green oak canopy porch provides shelter for the bespoke front door, which opens into a bright hallway with tiled floor. Oak accents flow throughout this home, giving a wonderful warmth and continuity throughout. A superb open plan kitchen and dining room open out to the left, flooded by natural light which pours through high level Velux windows and large bi-fold doors. This is a naturally sociable space which flows out to the sheltered rear patio area, perfect for outdoor entertaining. Across the hallway is a separate sitting room, complete with log burner, which offers a cosy space for those cooler evenings. Following the hallway, there is a useful utility room and downstairs WC. Continue through the inner hall and enter into a bright guest bedroom, this is a versatile room with a modern ensuite wet room and fitted kitchenette; with French doors leading out onto the rear patio and the ability to use ramped entry this is a perfect space for extended family accommodation or various other options.

Proceeding up the oak staircase, lit beautifully by windows above, you arrive at the Hermitages upper landing. Once again, a feeling of space and light fill this area, enhanced by a beautiful feature window overlooking the upper gardens. Arched oak doorways create character and atmosphere and hide away generous storage cupboards. This upper floor houses three handsome bedrooms, including a superb master with exposed oak beams and vaulted ceilings. A large modern bathroom with freestanding bath services two bedrooms, while the double to the rear enjoys an ensuite.  The Hermitages generous proportions continue outside, where the protected rear terrace leads to a wonderfully open landscaped upper garden with views across open countryside. With solar panels which feed all hot water to the property, parking for several vehicles and a large shed with power and lights, this superb home beautifully combines comfort, style, and practicality.
