Located on a quiet lane on the edge of Braunston, this exceptional four-bedroom detached house presents a rare opportunity to acquire a unique and eco-conscious family home, which was redesigned by an award-winning architect who specialises in eco-friendly designs, and was substantially rebuilt to offer spacious and carefully thought-out living accommodation, with meticulous attention to every detail.

A feature wood burner creates a warm and inviting ambience - perfect for cosy evenings. Patio doors from this spacious area offer direct access onto a private patio, where you can savour the tranquil rural and canalside views, an ideal location for family BBQs or simply chilling out with a glass of wine whilst enjoying the serene backdrop of the Grand Union Canal and rolling countryside.
Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged over the property, boasting four, well-proportioned bedrooms. Two of these benefit from their own en-suite facilities and the spacious family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, ingeniously designed to also function as an en-suite to bedroom three if required, offering flexible living arrangements. Bedroom four is currently used as a home office. Each bathroom is finished to a high standard, reflecting the overall quality of the renovation.
This home truly stands out for its commitment to eco-friendly living. Equipped with solar panels and an air source heat pump central heating system, it offers significant energy efficiency and reduced running costs, and a feed-in tariff arrangement making it an attractive proposition for the environmentally conscious buyer.

This flexible space offers multiple uses, whether as a home cinema, a games room, a private office, or even a self-contained annex for extended family (subject to any necessary consents.) Its independent access enhances its potential.
The individual architect-design results in a wealth of clever features throughout the property, including automated lighting, electric kitchen window blinds, a concealed automated projection screen in the living room, and the facility to switch one en-suite into a temporary family bathroom in the event of a houseful of guests. The staircase bannisters can be lifted off to facilitate the moving of large items of furniture.
