Constructed in 2015 and designed by the award winning Oakwrights, Ingle House is an enchanting contemporary timber framed home set in a glorious plot of just under 3.5 acres. Set within the West Midlands Green Belt, Ingle House enjoys an idyllic setting surrounded by countryside yet is only minutes away from the historically rich city of Lichfield which offers extensive shopping, dining and leisure facilities. The house has been constructed to include quality features such as Sonos sound system, Porcelanosa fittings, underfloor heating, solid Oak second fix, flagstone flooring and solid Akoya windows.
Entered via an open porch, a wide entrance door opens to a galleried entrance hall. The entrance hall is a grand welcome to this country home with flagstone flooring, oak staircase and oak framed glazing. There is a guest WC, whilst doors radiate to the ground floor accommodation. There is a dual aspect study which makes the ideal home office whilst the vast sitting room includes a sandstone fireplace encasing a Chesney stove. A beamed ceiling draws the eye down to the patio doors which open onto the south facing terrace. Double doors from the sitting room lead to the open plan kitchen dining family room. A space of outstanding quality and design, this vast space is well zoned into definitive areas including the dining area provides plenty of space for seating and entertaining. The flagstone flooring continues through to the kitchen area which has been meticulously considered. A range of two tone solid wood bespoke wall, floor and island cabinetry is set beneath Quartz and Corian surfaces. Integrated appliances include 4 oven aga, Quooker tap, Miele dishwasher, pair of Neff ovens and hob. A pantry provides excellent storage, whilst the utility is found off the kitchen and provides access to outside. The family area is cleverly zoned by a double-sided, slate clad chimney breast which incorporates a Chesney stove. The flagstone floor continues into the living area which is entirely glazed and includes doors to the terrace, with rural views from every angle.
Solid oak stairs rise from the entrance hall to a vaulted and galleried landing. The principal suite is of epic proportions and includes a full glazed gable section with Juliet balcony to make the most of the panoramic views. There is a dressing area with walk in wardrobe off the back of the bedroom area and an en suite bathroom with full Porcelanosa fittings and tiling. There are two additional en suite bedrooms, one front facing and one rear facing with Juliet balcony. Both rooms offer dual aspect views, vaulted ceilings and full Porcelanosa en suites. There is a further two bedrooms, one currently having being fitted out as a dressing room. The family bathroom is off the centre of the landing and is a serene space fully fitted out with Porcelanosa fittings.
Outbuildings and Grounds
Accessible off the driveway yet in view of the house itself is a recently completed annexe. The annexe includes an open plan kitchen living area with fully fitted kitchen and guest WC as well as first floor bedroom with shower room. Within the same building as the annexe is the garage, whilst set amongst the gardens is a summer house.
The gardens and grounds at Ingle House have been carefully curated to create an ornate garden within a parkland style setting. A wide and tall pair of oak gates open to an expansive gravelled driveway which provides parking for numerous vehicles. Slate pathways provide access to the front porch and to each side of the house itself.
To the rear of the house is a southerly rear terrace which is elevated above the gardens below. The terrace includes speakers and lighting with views from every direction. The gardens themselves are beautifully manicured while the balance of the plot is laid out as rolling parkland to make the most of the surrounding views.
The plot totals approx. 3.48 acres.
