This impressive detached 1930s home combines classic period charm with exceptional modern living. Thoughtfully extended, the property now centres around a breath-taking open-plan kitchen, dining and living space designed for both everyday life and entertaining, complemented by three/four generous double bedrooms and versatile reception rooms.

Set well back from the road on a substantial plot, the house enjoys a real sense of privacy, with extensive gardens and ample driveway parking for several vehicles. Recent renovations have included a careful sustainable retrofit, incorporating an air-source heat pump, cavity wall insulation and sleek aluminium windows to the rear, ensuring the home is as energy-efficient as it is beautiful.

The welcoming entrance hallway, with its striking original Minton tiled floor, divides the living and the downstairs bedroom at the front of the house. The cosy living room features a fireplace with a contemporary bioethanol stove, while the bedroom is a spacious, light-filled room that is a very large double room. Architect’s plans are in place to create an en-suite if desired. Both rooms benefit from stripped wooden floors and leafy views to the front garden.

The hallway flows through to the heart of the home: the stunning extended kitchen, dining and living space. Flooded with natural light, this remarkable room features bespoke sliding doors that open onto the terrace, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. Large ceramic floor tiles continue outside, enhancing the sense of space and flow. The contemporary kitchen is beautifully appointed with modern cabinetry, open shelving and a substantial central island with induction hob and integrated extractor. High-quality integrated appliances include a dishwasher, double oven with microwave combi, and a full-size fridge and freezer, while underfloor heating adds year-round comfort.

Additional ground-floor accommodation includes a dedicated home office, a practical laundry area with space for both washing machine and tumble dryer, a W/C, and direct access to the driveway.

Upstairs, the original staircase with its elegant balustrade leads to a galleried landing and three spacious double bedrooms. One features a large bay window and built-in wardrobes, while the rear bedroom has been extended to mirror the kitchen below, creating an exceptionally generous space with scope for a dressing area or study and wonderful views across the garden. The principal bedroom is dual aspect, spanning the full width of the house and offering ample space to create an en-suite if required.

The newly fitted family bathroom is a standout feature, finished to a high standard with a freestanding bath, separate shower, brushed brass fittings, Mandarin Stone tiles and luxurious underfloor heating.

The west-facing rear garden is a true highlight, thoughtfully arranged into two distinct areas. A large lawn is framed by mature hedges, trees and shrubs, while the lower garden features plum trees, a mature apple tree and established vegetable beds. A double garage and store room sit to the rear; the current owners had plans to replace these with a one-bedroom cabin designed to echo the kitchen extension. Architect’s drawings are available, and while the original planning permission has now lapsed, it demonstrates the exciting potential of the plot. To the front, the garden is mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees, enhancing the property’s sense of seclusion.

Ideally located, Styles Hill offers easy access to open countryside, with scenic walks towards Rodden Church and the Berkeley Bluebell Woods close by. The town centre is around a 20-minute walk through the protected Rodden Meadows, while the train station is just a 10-minute walk downhill, making this an excellent choice for both commuters and those seeking a balance of town and country living.
