Blue Gates is an exceptional four-bedroom home with a detached two-bedroom annexe, set in 1.6 acres on the prestigious Madingley Road. Built in 2009 and designed by Italian company Pagano, the property is constructed from Austrian Pine and offers a unique blend of architectural design, modern efficiency, and versatile accommodation.

The main house is entered via two sets of electric gates and a sweeping driveway. Inside, the open-plan ground floor centres on a striking vaulted living space with full-height glazing overlooking the gardens. A feature wood-burning fireplace, bespoke kitchen with a 'Stove' range induction stove, and separate pantry and utility room provide both style and practicality. Additional rooms include a study, snug, and playroom/art room, giving flexibility for modern family living.

The leisure wing houses a superb indoor swimming pool with floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening to a raised sun deck, together with a sauna, wet room and plant house. The pool is heated by a solar system with electric back-up and uses a UV purification system.

Upstairs, a galleried landing with vaulted glazed ceiling leads to four double bedrooms. The principal suite features a south-facing balcony with far-reaching countryside views, a walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious marble-finished bathroom with a separate WC and bidet. The remaining bedrooms include an en suite to bedroom two and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom for bedrooms three and four. A library/snooker room and sun room provide further versatile living and entertaining areas.

The detached two-bedroom annexe offers self-contained accommodation, ideal for guests, relatives or staff. Its ground floor includes two bedrooms, two shower rooms and utility space, while the first floor comprises an open-plan living area with kitchen, south-facing balcony, and adjoining study.

The grounds extend to approximately 1.6 acres and include a landscaped south-facing garden with orchard, a separate vegetable patch with privet hedge, and large pond with decked terrace. Equestrian facilities feature an outdoor arena, turnout paddock, and stable block with two loose boxes, tack room and hay store. At the end of the garden is a lockable gate which leads to a footpath and leads to Coton Primary School, and onto the village (approximately 5 minutes walk). There is also an outbuilding currently used as a gym or office, along with ample parking and a sheltered double car port.

Modern systems include underfloor heating powered by an air source heat pump, a Bticino lighting and security system, automated blinds, and solar panels generating an annual income for the property.
