A contemporary country home with vaulted glass bedroom and open countryside views

Situated at the end of a private drive and set discreetly behind electric gates, Foxfield is an exceptional contemporary country home that combines striking architecture with refined modern living. Surrounded by open countryside and enjoying far-reaching views towards Castle Cary, the property offers a balance of privacy, efficiency and beautifully considered design.

The approach immediately sets the tone. A generous gravelled driveway leads past landscaped gardens to the house and detached double garage, creating an arrival that feels both private and quietly impressive. The exterior blends natural stone, low-maintenance cedral panels, clean contemporary lines and expansive glazing, with a dramatic gable window hinting at the remarkable spaces within.

Inside, the house has been thoughtfully designed around modern family life. At its heart lies an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, a wonderfully social space where large bi-folding doors open directly onto the garden terrace. The flooring here is polished epoxy resin set over concrete, creating a sleek contemporary aesthetic that works beautifully with the clean lines of the kitchen cabinetry and granite worktops.

The kitchen itself is both elegant and practical, featuring integrated Neff ovens, a warming drawer, refrigerated drawers, a built-in dishwasher and a gas hob powered by bottled LPG. The large central island provides a natural gathering point for everyday life and entertaining alike, while a separate utility room - also finished with granite worktops - offers additional storage and space for laundry appliances, keeping the main living areas effortlessly uncluttered.

A separate living room provides a more intimate retreat, particularly beautiful in the evening as the setting sun fills the space with warm light. Throughout the house, oak flooring brings warmth and continuity, while underfloor heating powered by an air-source heat pump ensures comfort and efficiency all year round.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a particularly special space. Framed by a dramatic vaulted glass window, the room enjoys spectacular countryside views, with electric blackout blinds allowing the space to transition seamlessly from bright morning light to restful privacy at night. A large walk-in wardrobe and stylish en-suite shower room complete the suite.

Three further bedrooms provide excellent accommodation for family and guests. Two benefit from their own en-suite shower rooms, while the fourth bedroom is served by a well-appointed family shower room. All bathrooms are fitted with thermostatically controlled showers supplied by the home’s pressurised water system, ensuring both comfort and reliability.

Foxfield has also been designed with the future in mind. The loft space within the house has been constructed to allow straightforward conversion if additional accommodation is ever desired, while the detached double garage - with electric doors - also features a boarded loft with roof windows that could easily be adapted for further workspace, hobbies or studio use.

The property sits within a plot of approximately one third of an acre, with gardens that wrap comfortably around the house. A terrace directly outside the main living space creates an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, while lawns stretch out towards open countryside beyond. Raised vegetable beds offer the opportunity for kitchen-garden living, perfectly suited to the rural setting.

Efficiency has been carefully integrated into the design of this high-spec home. Fourteen inset solar panels work in tandem with a 14kw Tesla battery system, helping to power the property and enhance its sustainability credentials.

Foxfield is far more than simply a modern house. It is a home that has been thoughtfully crafted for contemporary country living - private yet connected, architecturally striking yet warm and welcoming, and perfectly positioned to enjoy the peaceful landscape that surrounds it.

Please note, a monthly fee currently of £67.50 is applicable as a shared cost of running the sewage treatment plant.
