Crows Nest Lane, Botley, Southampton, SO32

Set behind electric wooden gates, this impressive detached five-bedroom home offers over 3,900 square feet of living space. Owned by the same family for more than 20 years, it has been thoughtfully modernised in 2021. Key highlights include a grand entrance hall featuring a handcrafted wooden staircase and an expansive open-plan kitchen and living area, with double sliding doors stretching across the width of the room, perfectly framing the beautifully landscaped garden.

Upon arrival, guests are welcomed into a breathtaking grand entrance hallway, where natural stone flooring underfoot and bespoke finishes set an immediate tone of refined luxury. The handmade oak staircase stands as a sculptural centrepiece an architectural statement that gracefully draws the eye upward and whispers of the elegance to come.

A series of generously proportioned reception rooms flow seamlessly from the hallway, offering remarkable versatility for both family life and sophisticated entertaining. The principal sitting room exudes warmth and character, anchored by a stunning exposed brick fireplace and framed by original stained glass windows that flood the room with light and heritage charm. One of the adaptable reception rooms also presents the opportunity to be used as an additional bedroom, guest suite, or quiet home office, further enhancing the home's flexibility.

Opposite, a further expansive reception room lends itself perfectly to a formal dining space, elegant home office, or even a potential sixth bedroom, should the need arise. A third reception room, currently serving as a tranquil home office, provides additional functional flexibility. Discreetly tucked away, a stylish downstairs cloakroom and a practical utility room add to the everyday convenience.

The heart of this magnificent home lies at the rear: an awe-inspiring open-plan kitchen and living space, designed to impress and crafted to perfection. Sleek black high gloss cabinetry contrasts beautifully with shimmering white and silver quartz worktops, while a full suite of premium Neff appliances double ovens, a full-height fridge and freezer, integrated dishwasher, microwave, wine cooler induction hob, plate warmer, Quooker Cube (hot, filtered and fizzy water) and a water softener machine with a statement countertop extractor elevate the kitchen to chef-grade standards.

The herringbone-laid luxury Amtico tiled flooring flows throughout the space, uniting the zones into a cohesive living and entertaining area. At one end, a limestone-surround fireplace provides a striking focal point, flanked by ample space for relaxed seating and a family dining area—an environment designed to host unforgettable moments. The room also benefits from integrated air conditioning, ensuring comfort year-round.

Ascending the graceful handcrafted staircase, the first floor unfolds into five exceptional double bedrooms. The palatial master suite is a true sanctuary lavishly sized to accommodate a super king bed and more, featuring a bespoke walk-in wardrobe and a spectacular en suite bathroom. Here, underfloor heating, a walk-in rainfall shower, double vanity, and elegant stone-effect tiling combine to create a spa-like retreat.

The second bedroom mirrors the indulgence of the master, complete with built-in wardrobes and a chic en suite with underfloor heating and a walk-in rainfall shower, premium fixtures. The remaining bedrooms are equally impressive in scale, offering outstanding space and comfort for family or guests.
