Burgh Wood, Banstead

Have you ever wondered what Christmas lunch must look like in the home of a top chef? What happens when someone trained to the highest degree to provide a quality product for others, turns their hand to producing something for their own family? The answer is of course something special, with all the trimmings, using the finest produce. Our client has been building houses all his life, and so when it came to building his own family home from scratch, there were no corners cut, and no expense spared.

We are truly delighted to be presenting this 5 bedroom detached family home, built by the current owners around 8 years ago. The ground floor is dominated by the kitchen area, a double height space with mammoth glass sliding doors out to the rear garden, blurring the lines between inside and out. The kitchen is modern yet timeless, with midnight blue units, brushed steel handles, herringbone metro tile splash-back, white quartz worktops and waterfall kitchen island complete with a solid oak chefs counter. A recurring feature throughout the house is resin flooring, it works incredibly well in accommodating the minimalist feel the owners were aiming for, and further compliments the splashes of colour and creativity through the house. This rear space also features a casual TV area, with bespoke cabinetry surrounding the television.
The living room is separate and a lovely size, big enough to host everyone for movie night, but small enough to feel intimate and cosy. More examples of expert cabinetry feature in here, with storage flanking the TV on either side, and down lighters built into the units to provide subtle finishing touches. Across the hall is one of multiple office spaces, and the rest of the ground floor comprises a downstairs cloakroom, utility room and garage space.
Upstairs the main bedroom spans the full width of the house to the rear looking out over the beautifully landscaped garden, with a roof terrace, walk in wardrobe and ensuite, all tastefully finished. Beds 3, 4 and 5 are all also located on the first floor, looking over the front of the property, with built in storage in each, and all benefitting from use of the family bathroom which boasts a full suite. Up yet another flight of stairs is the top floor, cleverly engineered with plenty of eaves storage, a large games room, and one final bedroom which benefits from its own en-suite.
To the front, a resin bonded driveway complements a clean but understated exterior to the house, as it’s the rear where the design is able to shine through. The rear garden has been landscaped to create an elevated patio area, followed by a terraformed flat lawn, with a small patch of woodland to the rear which is home to both a climbing frame and a separate studio, complete with its own toilet, perfect as a home gym or office. From the end of the garden the house looks dramatic and imposing, large panels of glass and harsh angles are softened by beautifully aged beech cladding.
