A superbly re-modelled and sympathetically updated boutique family home with a private gated driveway set in beautifully landscaped gardens with many interesting features.
One of the special and unique features of this home is the gardens. Four Winds takes its name from the four unique spaces, created in the garden.
The first garden is unique and unlike anything else, space and privacy for alfresco dining and a place to enjoy the morning sun.
Garden two, the sculpture garden has elements of stone, iron, the sea and the forests, some of the pieces are from the sea beds of the Mediterranean and others from northern China.
Garden three is landscaped with sculptures from local artists. A stonemason was commissioned to 'bring home the sea' and so a huge circular scene depicting waves, pebbles on the beach and drift wood was created. A local blacksmith was commissioned to make an 'untouchable tree' with a matching balcony.
At the end of the main garden is a Mediterranean style sunken BBQ area with seating for over a dozen people with an adjacent outdoor kitchen area complete with power, a sink unit and a gas BBQ. There's also an Italian pizza oven that makes this a wonderful area to sit and eat around the fire pit at night and view the stars.
Garden four, well this is the secret garden…….
Local locksmith, Edward Carr built and owned the property for many years inspiring the quirky and innovative link to keys throughout this intriguing home.
Four Winds is approached via a private gated entrance. It is double-glazed throughout with some charming characterful features such as the antique doors in places and wonderful Bisque radiators. This is combined with cutting edge kitchen and bathrooms along with CAT5 cabling throughout and LED lighting.
The bespoke kitchen is inspired and comprises a range of handcrafted Bookmatch Macassar Ebony floating kitchen units made from one continuous grain with a corian type work surface. There are integrated V Zug appliances including a steam oven and warming drawer, oven, an induction wok, Miele extractor, Siemens hob and Miele fridge.
