With the invaluable addition of a recently completed, beautifully appointed two-bedroom annexe, ideal for accommodating cherished extended family members or providing a private retreat for friends, this home truly offers unparalleled flexibility. Situated on a generous, expansive plot, the property further benefits from abundant off-road parking and a highly practical detached workshop.
Upon entering this welcoming home, you are greeted by a substantial and incredibly practical utility room. This generous space provides extensive room and essential plumbing for all your laundry requirements, complemented by elegant oak work surfaces and a traditional Belfast sink. Thoughtfully designed glazed panels flood this area with natural light, ensuring a bright and inviting atmosphere, while seamlessly connecting it to the heart of the home - the main kitchen. Just off the utility, you'll discover a handy boot room, perfect for shedding muddy shoes and coats after countryside walks, alongside a conveniently located downstairs WC.
The utility room effortlessly flows into a contemporary and beautifully appointed kitchen. This culinary space features modern cream shaker-style storage units, both floor and wall-mounted, offering ample storage for all your family's needs. It comes fully equipped with an integrated electric oven, a gas hob with an extractor fan, and benefits from an open design that overlooks the utility area, fostering a connected feel. From the kitchen, the layout transitions gracefully into an inviting open-plan lounge and dining area. This is truly a wonderful and immensely versatile family space, bathed in natural light and feeling wonderfully expansive. It retains charming character features that add warmth and appeal, including a comforting wood-burning stove equipped with a back boiler (efficiently heating the water), rustic exposed beams, and an open fireplace with a decorative tile surround in the lounge section. A magnificent bay with double doors opens directly onto the vast rear garden, creating a seamless link between indoor and outdoor living and perfectly framing those glorious, uninterrupted vistas across rolling fields and distant hills - a truly inspiring view for any family.
A door from the lounge leads to a hallway, where the main staircase gracefully ascends to the first floor. From this hall, a further door opens into a lobby. This lobby provides not only direct access to the garden, but also serves as the entrance to the annexe, offering an essential independent access point from the main house.
A truly exceptional feature of 1 Nox Bank is its recently completed and fully self-contained two-bedroom annexe. Accessed via the lobby, this modern space welcomes you into a capacious open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area. This contemporary sanctuary is flooded with light, with its bi-fold doors at the rear perfectly framing the breathtaking views beyond - a truly special feature for residents. These doors are complemented by bespoke fitted blinds, offering privacy and light control. The living area features an electric fire, providing a cosy focal point. The annexe kitchen is appointed with sleek grey modern shaker-style units and striking white quartz work surfaces, offering a high-end finish. Integrated appliances include a fridge, freezer, electric oven, hob, and extractor, alongside a practical grey composite sink positioned beneath a front-facing window. Critically, this entire open-plan living space benefits from the comfort and efficiency of electric underfloor heating. The annexe is completed by a spacious shower room with a walk-in shower, WC, and hand basin, and two comfortable double bedrooms that flow effortlessly from the main living area, ensuring a private and independent living space for family members.
At the top of the main staircase, the landing thoughtfully divides, offering distinct zones. To the right, you'll discover the luxurious master suite, a principal room designed for ultimate comfort and relaxation. This generous space provides ample room for sleeping, complemented by a dedicated dressing room for organised storage. Off the dressing room, the private en-suite shower room features a walk-in shower, hand basin, and WC, all finished to a high standard. This master retreat enjoys desirable dual-aspect views to the front, rear, and side, ensuring a bright and airy feel. A further comfortable double bedroom is ideally situated next to the master suite. To the left at the top of the stairs, you'll find three additional, generously sized double bedrooms, offering versatile accommodation for children, guests, or dedicated home office spaces. These are served by a well-appointed family bathroom, comprising a panelled bath with a shower over and glass screen, WC, and hand basin. A separate staircase then leads to a highly versatile hobby loft room, providing adaptable space perfect for a children's play area, a teenager's den, a private study, or simply additional storage.
The property is accessed via a beneficial right of way over a private track (belonging to Cruckton House), ensuring a secluded approach. Double timber gates gracefully mark the entrance to 1 Nox Bank, opening onto a substantial tarmacadam forecourt. This extensive area provides not just ample parking, but also generous turning space for multiple vehicles - a significant advantage for larger families. A detached workshop is conveniently located to your left, offering ideal space for hobbies, storage, or DIY projects. Thanks to thoughtfully placed stock fencing around the garden, the breathtaking views across the glorious countryside and towards distant Earl Hill can be appreciated from the very moment you arrive. A practical side gate and a 5-bar vehicle gate provide flexible access to the expansive rear garden. Immediately outside the property, a paved patio offers an ideal spot for al-fresco dining, family barbecues, or simply relaxing and taking in the views. The remainder of the garden is predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by mature trees on one side, presenting a versatile and exciting blank canvas for any keen gardener to create their dream outdoor haven, perfect for children's play or large-scale entertaining.
