Driftwood House

Undoubtedly one of the Midlands finest newly built homes, Driftwood House has been constructed by Butler Smith Developments to the most exacting of standards. Offering a rare and unique opportunity to acquire a just finished home with excellent views, set on a plot of approx. 0.71 acres and with accommodation extending over to 4,000 sq ft, Driftwood House is the definition of a contemporary turnkey home.

The oversized front door opens within a glazed wall into the entrance hall which includes bespoke glass and oak staircase as well as doors to all living accommodation. The sitting room offers a separate and more formal entertaining space, with doors to the front terrace. Double doors open from the other side of the entrance hall to the open plan living space. Carefully curated and zoned, the front facing dining area has plenty of space for seating and entertaining, as well as benefitting from double doors to the front terrace. A bespoke, integrated wine rack doubles as a room divider which separates the dining area from the day room. The day room provides an informal seating area which incorporates shelving / media wall and bi fold doors to the rear terrace. Flowing on from the day room is a glazed link which is adorned with a singular piece of oak to the ceiling and full floor to ceiling windows to either side. The glazed link opens to the exceptional vaulted kitchen. With a glazed gable at either end and a 4.2 metre centralised island, the kitchen is the epitome of modern luxury. A range of oversized, 2.6 metre high Arittal cabinets are integrated into one wall, whilst there is a range of island cabinetry set beneath the Viola Calcutta porcelain work surface. A range of integrated Siemens appliances include pair of combi ovens, pair of microwave combi ovens, full height fridge & freezer, dishwasher, and boiling tap as well as Neff induction hub with flush extraction and self-closing Liebherr wine fridge. A seating area adjacent to the oversized bi folding doors completes this exquisite contemporary space. A rear hallway leads off from the entrance hall to provide access to the guest WC, utility and plant room. The utility room provides further Arrital cabinetry as well as bi folding doors opening to the rear terrace.

The galleried first floor landing enjoys outstanding forward views framed by floor to ceiling windows. The principal suite is hotel like, incorporating a bedroom with front facing balcony, dual matching dressing areas and a vast en suite. The en suite includes Viola Calcutta marble tiling, feature Lusso stone bath, wet room, and dual sinks. The second and third bedrooms offer excellent proportions with both benefitting from fitted wardrobes and individually designed en suite shower rooms as well as balconies. The family shower room services the second floor fourth bedroom, which could be used flexibly as a study.

Gardens

Electric gates opens to an extensive driveway with turning circle as well as two and a half car garage. Porcelain tiling runs along the front and side of the house, which opens to an extensive, zoned rear terrace. Steps open up to a large rear lawn.

The plot extends to approx. 0.71 acres.
