A blend of timeless character with modern sophistication, introducing the spectacular Whitefields Road...

A masterfully reimagined 1920s property, this luxurious home has undergone a complete transformation in 2021, blending timeless character with modern sophistication.

Approached via a secure gated entrance with state-of-the-art electric gates, the property exudes grandeur from the outset. A vast resin-bound driveway comfortably accommodates 6+ vehicles, with the surrounding front garden thoughtfully landscaped, featuring neat block-paved borders, lush lawns, and secure side access to the rear.

Stepping into the welcoming porch, you’ll find ample space for shoes and coats, setting the tone for the home's refined finishes. The original solid-wood front door, beautifully adorned with stained glass, opens into an elegant entrance hallway. To the right lies the formal lounge, a dual-aspect haven of comfort and style. This room is bathed in natural light, enhanced by a feature log burner, perfect for cosy evenings, and striking bi-fold doors that seamlessly connect the interior to the private rear patio.

At the core of this home is the spectacular open-plan Kitchen/Breakfast/Family Room, a space designed for both everyday living and sophisticated entertaining with Sonos sound system. The Kitchen is fitted with high-specification appliances, including a sleek, central island with an integrated induction hob and concealed Bora downdraft induction. A full-height fridge and freezer, wine cooler, and Quooker tap, providing instant boiling water, chilled filtered water, and sparkling water, further elevate the space. A triple oven configuration includes a steam oven, combination microwave oven, and a traditional combination fan oven. There is also a coffee machine for barista-level brewing and a dual wine cooler. The island also serves as a breakfast bar, while an attached breakfast table creates an ideal casual dining area.

Cascading off the kitchen, the family room offers space for comfortable seating, making it a natural hub for gatherings. The seamless flow between the family area and the kitchen ensures a practical yet stylish environment for hosting, while having a seamless connection to the patio area via dual bi-fold doors. The formal dining area is cleverly separated by a dual-sided gas fireplace, creating an intimate ambiance while still connecting fluidly with the rest of the open-plan space.

The ground floor is completed by a well-appointed WC off the hallway and a practical utility room accessible from the kitchen. The utility room boasts extensive storage, floor-to-ceiling cupboards, a sink, and ample space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer. The integral garage is equipped with power, lighting, and an electric up-and-over door, ensuring convenience and additional storage.

Ascending the staircase, the first-floor landing is bathed in light from a grand feature window with stained-glass detailing. A striking chandelier hangs above, adding an opulent touch.

The principal suite, situated at the rear of the property, is a true sanctuary. This expansive space features a private walk out balcony overlooking the garden, a walk-in wardrobe with custom cabinetry, and a stunning en-suite bathroom. The en-suite is a vision of luxury, offering a freestanding bath, a spacious double walk-in shower, twin sinks set within a vanity, and a WC. This bedroom is completed with air conditioning adding comfort in the summer months.

Bedroom two enjoys dual-aspect views, built-in wardrobes, and a stylish en-suite shower room with premium fixtures. Bedrooms three and four are both generous doubles, each fitted with bespoke wardrobes and their own contemporary en-suite shower rooms, creating a cohesive sense of luxury throughout.

For those looking for a work from home space, there is a dedicated first floor office overlooking the front of the property with a stunning vaulted celing, allowing natural light to flood the room.

A secondary staircase leads to the versatile top floor, designed for flexibility and future needs. The primary room on this level is a spacious bedroom with a dedicated relaxation corner, perfect for unwinding. A chic bathroom with a separate shower cubicle, high-quality fixtures, and a modern design services this floor.

Additionally, there is a kitchenette, offering convenience for guests or multi-generational living. An adjacent room, currently styled as a zen retreat, could easily function as a sixth bedroom or private sitting room, making this floor a self-contained suite ideal for extended family or visitors.

The exterior of the property is equally impressive, with a meticulously landscaped south-facing garden that enjoys sunlight throughout the day. A large patio area, accessible from both the kitchen and lounge, provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining and summer gatherings. A paved pathway meanders through the lawn to a detached outbuilding, styled as a bar room. Complete with a log burner and its own shower room, this space is highly adaptable, doubling as a guest house, garden office, or studio. The garden is dotted with mature fruit trees, and to the rear, a storage shed offers additional practicality.

This exceptional home, blending period charm with cutting-edge contemporary design, represents a unique opportunity to own a property where no expense has been spared in creating a lifestyle of luxury, privacy, and modern convenience.
