Overton enjoys a commanding rural setting within the Glens of Foudland area and occupies an easily reached elevated position within its own private grounds. The property offers an exceptional sense of peace, space and seclusion, surrounded by open farmland and grass paddocks. Originally constructed in 1900, Overton was thoughtfully renovated in 2012 into the outstanding contemporary family home it is today. The property has been carefully designed to maximise natural light and the spectacular views from every aspect, while high-quality finishes, a modern kitchen and luxurious bathrooms create a stylish and comfortable family home throughout. Spanning two levels, the accommodation has been beautifully presented with clean, crisp and minimal décor throughout. The impressive reception hall provides a striking introduction to the home, featuring attractive oak flooring, matching timber finishes and fresh contemporary décor. A beautifully crafted staircase leads to the upper floor, while an open alcove offers an ideal space for display. The hall flows effortlessly into the living accommodation beyond, setting the tone for the stylish interiors found throughout the property.

At the heart of the home lies the stunning open-plan kitchen and dining area, an exceptional space perfectly suited to both family life and entertaining. The modern kitchen is centred around an impressive island with quality worktops and is complemented by an extensive range of wall and base units, together with a selection of high-specification integrated appliances. Flooded with natural light from large windows framing the surrounding countryside, the room combines practicality with understated elegance. Quality finishes, recessed ceiling lighting and generous proportions further enhance this impressive living space. Situated directly off the kitchen is a substantial and well-appointed utility room, providing excellent additional storage.

The spacious living room is equally impressive, benefiting from the continuation of the oak flooring from the reception hall and enjoying a bright, airy atmosphere. Crisp neutral décor creates a versatile backdrop for a variety of furnishings, whilst floor-to-ceiling glazing and French doors leading to the rear driveway ensure an abundance of natural light and a strong connection with the surrounding landscape. A large ground floor double bedroom and a beautifully presented family bathroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

On the upper level, there are four further double bedrooms, all immaculately presented and enjoying delightful countryside views. A well-located shower room serves the bedrooms and has been equally well appointed. The striking principal bedroom is a particularly calm and tranquil space, featuring a stylish en-suite shower room and views from every angle. Overton represents a rare opportunity to acquire a contemporary country home finished to an exacting standard throughout. Combining modern luxury with rural tranquillity, the property is complemented by an extensive range of outbuildings and acreage, offering endless potential for a variety of lifestyle, equestrian or business pursuits.
