Property description
GUIDE PRICE £1,000,000 - £1,200,000Tucked amongst an exclusive cluster of three impressive homes amidst idyllic rolling countryside, Finsbury House embodies the very best of inspired modern architecture, breathing new life into a historic Norfolk farm building. Having undergone a masterful schedule of rebuilding, the breathtaking home now offers over 3,000 sq. ft. of stunning accommodation, incorporating a smart home system, creating a home full of lifestyle technology. In short, it’s an intelligent, contemporary property, finished to the most exacting of standards.Approached via a long drive running alongside the 0.25 acre (STMS) paddock, Finsbury House enjoys a quiet position at the corner of its plot, overlooking the open fields beyond. Upon entering, one is immediately greeted by a world of bold architecture, clean lines, and floods of natural light.The hallway is noteworthy as a reception in its own right; the galleried landing brings double-height drama to the entrance, while ample space for a pleasant seating area to the rear sits alongside the bespoke bar built under the stairs – a real work of art.To one side of the reception hall is the kitchen/dining room, showcasing an exceptional bespoke German kitchen designed not only for stunning aesthetics but also with seamless ergonomics in mind for the keenest of home cooks. A full complement of Siemens and Neff appliances ensures seamless hosting and functional family life. Being open plan makes this a fantastically sociable space for any occasion; the breakfast bar provides sociable seating for informal dining and drinks, while the dining area offers ample space for a grand dining table overlooking the front gardens.Offering a fine balance to the open-plan kitchen/dining room, the formal sitting room brings a more intimate feel yet is every bit as striking and spacious as one would expect from a home of such calibre. A full run of bi-fold doors allows the room to extend out to the sun terrace in warmer months, while the bespoke media wall and fireplace make this room just as inviting for hunkering down during darker evenings.Elsewhere on the ground floor, a well-proportioned study adds valuable versatility to the home, while a superb utility room leads to the ground floor shower room, both addressing the practicalities required of a functional family home.Ascending to the first floor, one will find no fewer than four double bedrooms, all of which enjoy luxurious en-suites. All the bedrooms are fitted with heating and cooling radiators. The principal suite boasts every feature one could hope for from a dream bedroom suite – an east-facing Juliette balcony ensures an idyllic start to every day, while the large dressing room has been fully fitted out, including a vanity station, and the lavish en-suite will quite simply take your breath away.The three additional bedroom suites enjoy just as much luxury with superb en-suites and a range of features, from additional dressing rooms to built-in storage and even a Juliette balcony of their own.From motion-sensing lights throughout the home to intelligent heating and multi-room audio, every detail is designed to make daily living effortless, secure, and luxuriously modern.Outside, Finsbury House sits in the rear corner of its plot, meaning the vast majority of the outdoor space enjoys a southerly aspect, bathing in all-day sunshine. Two large sun terraces interact well with the dining area and sitting room respectively, while the lawned area sits alongside the dining terrace, ideal for younger family members to stretch their legs during family BBQs.The expansive driveway is complemented by the detached double garage fitted with a double-width electric door. A superb addition to the property is the extra meadow/paddock, measuring approximately 0.25 acres (STS).TIBENHAM
