A new build home, with Edwardian origins, The Elders is a home reimagined and reborn, rebuilt with the keenest attention to detail to provide modern family living on a grand scale, with warmth, character, and style. 

Wrought iron railings offer a nod to the heritage of the plot, where old home has made way for modern recreation, with a few unique quirks. Flagged steps and an elegant mosaic centrepiece announce your arrival home at The Elders. 

Welcome home

Making your way ahead into the living room, admire the panelling on the walls and staircase, where there is handy storage for coats and cleaning essentials. A large sash window to the front draws in plenty of light, whilst high ceilings add an airiness. Admire the ceiling rose above, another classic period touch. 

Open plan living 

Glazed double doors open to the light and bright, open-plan kitchen-diner, where bifolding doors to the far end offer unbroken views of the garden. Dressed in shades of Pantry Blue, the traditional style cabinetry affords ample storage, with a large central island nestled beneath pendant lighting, adding a sociable element to the functionality of the kitchen.  

Antique brushed gold taps and handles add a heritage feel, with a splash of glamour, whilst warmth emanates from the cream Range Master oven, nestled within its inglenook. Flush plinths add a seamless finish to the room, whilst an inset sink features in the granite topped central island breakfast-bar. A sociable room perfect for parties and every day family life, sockets are well spaced, with an aerial point handy for a wall-mounted television. 

On sunny summer days, throw open the bifolding doors and step out onto the immaculately paved patio for alfresco dining.
