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.

The heart of this home is undoubtedly the thoughtfully designed, spacious kitchen, a perfect hub for family life and entertaining, there is plenty of space for a dining table and chairs; and the rural views from the kitchen widows are just stunning, Complementing this is a separate utility room, providing practical solutions for modern living and keeping the main living areas clutter-free.

The dual-aspect living room is a true highlight, offering generous proportions for both relaxation and entertaining. 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. In the last full calendar year (2024) the net energy costs were below zero (details of which can be provided on request.)

Adding to the versatility of this property is a dedicated entertainment area which is below the main property, complete with a separate access door. 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. There is also pre-planning for future projects, including an internal staircase and/or a dumb waiter lift-shaft to the basement games room.
