A Rare Find on a Generous Corner Plot
Perched proudly on a substantial corner plot in one of Bromley Cross’s most desirable pockets, off Hillside Avenue, this decetively large striking home combines single-storey ease with an abundance of space and versatility rarely found in modern living. Thoughtfully extended, extensively renovated, and filled with light, this family home is the perfect fusion of comfort and contemporary style—surrounded by landscaped gardens, panoramic views, and the quiet elegance of a mature residential setting.
A Grand Welcome on a Plot With Presence
From its wide street frontage to its beautifully maintained borders, this detached residence makes an impression before you’ve even stepped inside. Set back behind a newly laid block-paved driveway, there’s ample space for multiple vehicles and even more room to grow, should future expansion ever be desired. Positioned on a corner, the home enjoys both privacy and prominence—offering dual-aspect gardens and the kind of plot size that opens doors to endless possibilities.
Space to Unwind, Entertain and Breathe
Step into the expansive hallway and immediately feel the sense of space and seamless flow that defines this home. Bathed in natural light from the two windows flanking the entrance door, the area feels both airy and welcoming. Cashmere-toned wall panel mouldings grace the walls, rising to dado height and continuing up the staircase, where black-painted spindles contrast beautifully with the rich, timber-coloured handrail. The textured stair carpeting adds depth and warmth. Throughout the ground floor, Ted Todd engineered oak flooring flows effortlessly, guiding you through generously sized, light-filled rooms that have been thoughtfully designed with meticulous attention to detail.
On one side, the formal lounge stretches the full depth of the home, inviting calm and conversation. An oversized window, dressed with white plantation shutters, frames panoramic views of the open countryside, while a second window to the rear garden floods the space with natural light. With its oak flooring, neutral walls, and ample room for a plush, oversized L-shaped sofa, the lounge is the ideal spot for relaxing, centred around a wall-mounted TV point. Beyond, oak sliding doors open into a striking second lounge, painted in a rich dark grey. Vaulted ceilings, Velux skylights, and wide bi-folding doors leading to the rear garden introduce a modern, airy feel, creating a perfect space for both family gatherings and quiet moments of relaxation, with the serene beauty of nature just beyond the glass.
A Kitchen-Diner to Make Memories In
Opposite the entrance hall, and also spanning the full depth of the home, discover a kitchen-diner where impeccable design meets everyday functionality. Created by Ramsbottom Kitchens, this impressive space pairs classic style with modern convenience. In-frame woodgrain shaker cabinetry—elegantly finished in a mix of crisp white and deep navy—sits beneath sleek Silestone worktops, while a central oak island with breakfast bar seating for four becomes the natural hub of the home.
Integrated Neff appliances, including an oven, grill, microwave, dishwasher, and a five-ring induction hob with a stainless steel extractor, make cooking effortless and enjoyable. A Belfast sink, perfectly positioned to look out across the rear garden, adds charm, while the spacious dining area, framed by bespoke shutter blinds, offers a graceful setting for mealtimes with family and friends.
Warm brass fittings, neutral-toned walls, and beautiful oak herringbone flooring tie the room together with timeless sophistication.
Just off the kitchen, a well-equipped utility room continues the home's thoughtful design. Fitted with dark forest green shaker-style cabinetry, a ceramic sink, space for a washer, dryer, and an American fridge freezer, it’s as practical as it is stylish. A door leads directly outside—making this the perfect boot room after a weekend stroll around nearby Jumbles Country Park. Hardwearing tiled flooring completes the look, ready for muddy boots and wagging tails.
Designed for Flexibility
This home has been thoughtfully designed to adapt to every chapter of life. At the front of the property, a generous ground floor bedroom with built-in wardrobes and oak flooring offers a private and peaceful haven—perfect for visiting guests, multi-generational living, or those seeking the ease of single-level accommodation.
Towards the rear, another flexible room features striking oak herringbone flooring, crisp white walls, and deep green fitted wardrobes, with a window that frames views of the garden beyond. Whether used as a stylish home office, creative studio, or cosy single bedroom, it adds yet another layer of versatility to this well-planned home.
Completing the ground floor, a beautifully appointed bathroom finished in elegant tiling provides both practicality and polish—delivering comfort without compromise.
Elevated Comfort and Stylish Sleep Spaces
Upstairs, three additional bedrooms offer comfort and flexibility in equal measure.
The serene main bedroom suite is a true retreat, complete with a remote-controlled electric Velux window inviting in the morning light. Luxurious fitted wardrobes, drawers, and a dressing table are paired with coordinating wall panelling behind the bed, creating a refined, cohesive design that balances elegance with practicality.
Bedroom three is cleverly designed with built-in wardrobes nestled beneath the eaves, maximising storage without compromising on space, while bedroom four—currently set up as a nursery—offers a soft and inviting atmosphere, ideal for little ones, guests, or even a dedicated study space.
Each room is light-filled and welcoming, designed to evolve with your family's needs over time.
The main shower room echoes the home’s contemporary aesthetic, with a calming palette and clean finishes. A combination vanity unit and WC offers sleek storage, while a corner shower with glazed enclosure is set against classic white metro tiles. The standout feature? Monochrome, Moroccan-inspired patterned floor tiles that add just the right touch of flair to this elegant space.
A Garden That Keeps on Giving
Step outside and discover a garden that truly sets this home apart. Professionally landscaped and beautifully designed, the wraparound plot features multiple seating areas, each with its own purpose—whether it's alfresco dining, socialising with friends, or simply enjoying a quiet moment. Porcelain-tiled patios extend the living space across two levels, with steps leading up to a neatly maintained lawn on the second tier—perfect for family play, relaxing, or soaking in the sunset views.
Bespoke landscape walls clad in textured slate-effect tiles create visual interest, while neatly planted Buxus hedging adds structure and elegance. Timber-finished planters and mature planting along the fence line enhance the sense of seclusion, with thoughtful design ensuring privacy throughout.
Set on a generous corner plot, the garden not only delivers immediate enjoyment but also holds potential for future extensions or additional outbuildings, subject to the usual planning permissions—making this a long-term home in every sense.
