Exclusive and secluded

OWNER QUOTE: “It feels very safe and secure here. Although we are right in the middle of the village, not many people know we’re here.”

Refurbished and renewed

A home that has undergone a complete renovation programme over the past five years, with rooms reconfigured, walls removed and open plan living installed in the heart of the home. New lighting features throughout, a new kitchen, utility and two new bathrooms fitted. Other improvements include newly fitted UPVC doors, all new internal doors, freshly fitted carpets and flooring throughout, along with a new boiler and water tank fitted in 2025.

Make your way indoors, where modern window panels shower light into the entrance hall from beside the front door.

A warm welcome

Carpeted in light grey, the entrance hall is a central hub, where the staircase ahead leads up to a light and airy gallery landing.

Turning right, a warm welcome is assured in the sumptuously sized lounge, where a Cheshire brick inglenook fireplace serves as a stunning centrepiece, inset with windows to either side of the gas fire, creating an enchanting effect.

Light and bright, the wide bay window to the front delivers views out over the mature greenery of the garden, whilst to the rear, French doors offer instant access out to the garden. Cosy and snug on winter days with the fire lit, there is ample space for three sofas, offering room for all the family.

Indoor-out living

Making your way ahead from the entrance hall, step through into the spacious, open plan newly fitted kitchen, dining room, where new laminate wood flooring flows out underfoot and light streams in through two sets of French doors which invite you out to the garden for alfresco dining on summer days.

Dine sociably at the breakfast bar, or feast formally at the dining table. An array of cupboards and drawers provide plenty of storage for all your culinary utensils and essentials, whilst the gleaming worktops offer ample preparation space.

A host of built-in AEG appliances are available when cooking for the family, including a double oven, induction hob, large integrated floor-to-ceiling fridge and floor-to-ceiling freezer. There is also a sink, dishwasher and pull-out larder and spice rack storage.

Every room at No. 1, Whittington Gardens retains an open, spacious and airy ambience.

Flexible flow

Continue through, into the newly fitted utility room, where further storage can be found, alongside a sink and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer. Thoughtfully designed, there is also a convenient floor to ceiling cupboard ideal for storing mops, brooms or an ironing board. Storage is in plentiful supply, throughout both the ground and first floor levels of this home.

Returning to the entrance hall, discover a second lounge to the left of the kitchen, cosy and bright, offering views out over the garden and driveway to the front. Versatile in its nature, this room also works well as a home office or playroom, situated next door to the cloakroom, which is furnished with vanity unit wash basin and WC.

Grey, carpeted stairs lead up from the entrance hall to the light and airy gallery landing, where an archway to the left leads to an inner landing providing access, and a sense of separation, to the master suite.

Sweet dreams

Soothing shades of peacock green adorn the walls, with plenty of space for a super king size bed in the main bedroom. Wake up to leafy views, and the sight of blossom in May.

Another archway leads through to the dressing room, where a large window invites light in, and where fitted wardrobes offer all-season storage.

Refresh and revive in the large en suite, tiled to the walls and underfoot in soothing neutral tones, and furnished with a corner bath and separate shower. The wide window provides pleasant views out to the garden.

OWNER QUOTE: “An architect talked to us about the potential to develop this area of the home. There is a lot of space. 

Returning along the landing, ahead from the stairs, a large double bedroom is cosily carpeted underfoot, with plenty of space for wardrobes and a desk.

Storage heaven

To the right of the stairs, along the landing an archway leads through to a double bedroom on the left where quadruple fitted wardrobes release the rest of the room. Light and bright, views extend out over the lawn.

Next, arrive at the fifth bedroom, peaceful, quiet and tucked away, currently serving as an office - this room is ideal for working from home, its windows providing leafy views.

Returning along the landing, refreshment can be found in the newly fitted family bathroom, furnished with bath and LED-lit shower, alongside wash basin, heated towel radiator and WC, all tiled in marbled grey.

Overlooking a feature tree in the front garden, a further double bedroom awaits, spacious yet cosy, and dressed in shades of grey.

Safe and sunny garden

One of only three homes in the exclusive development, there is a sense of safety in the outdoor space, with a secure garden in which children can play and pets can roam.

With plenty of room for children to kick a ball, this private and enclosed garden is easy to maintain, balancing lawn space with patio areas for a table and chairs. Soak up the sun throughout the afternoon and evening, with the sizzling sound of barbecues a must in the summer months.
