This stunning eco-home is situated on a quiet lane with two beautiful lakes at each side.

The property is a four-minute drive from Feakle village which boasts many amenities including, pubs, shops, a work hub and a primary school.

The current homeowners have a huge interest in rewilding and the land has essentially become a wildlife sanctuary in recent years. There are many species of native medicinal plants and flowers on the circa 3.24-acre plot.

Built in 2005, this eco home is timber-framed and timber-clad. High ceilings and intelligent use of natural light make this house bright and airy.

Internally the living area downstairs is open plan with the kitchen leading into the sitting room. The kitchen has a double-height ceiling and cathedral windows flooding the room with natural light.

It is fitted with solid units and solid wood worktops. There is a gas hob and electric oven. Off the kitchen is a tiled and fully plumbed pantry, which is designed to be a cool room.

The sitting room has a Moreso multi fuel burning stove with a back boiler which heats water and radiators and brick fireplace. The south-facing sunroom makes the most of the views of the gardens, with windows on three sides and double doors out to the deck.

There is a double bedroom on the ground floor with a door leading out to the garden and an adjoining bathroom. There is also a bright study on this level, with bay doors opening to the decking area, which could easily be converted into another bedroom. A beautiful, bespoke ash staircase leads you up to a gallery that overlooks the kitchen.

The mezzanine space over the living area is big enough for multiple uses and leads to master bedroom which has an en-suite to one side and double doors merging onto a south-facing balcony to the other.

There is plenty of storage in the eaves. The property uses passive solar design and is well-insulated. The septic tank has an additional reed bed system.

Externally the property is set back from the road, so feels very private and secluded. The outbuildings include a workshop, tool shed, a lean-to timber storage shed.
