An exceptional modern home in a private gated cul-de-sac.

Description

Built by Stonehaven in 2012, this exceptional home offers a rare combination of contemporary design, generous proportions, and outstanding outdoor space. Set over three thoughtfully designed levels, the property blends light-filled interiors with high-quality finishes to create a home that feels both luxurious and inviting.

Entering into a vast entrance hall, you find the generously proportioned reception room immediately to your left. This room exudes elegance, with a floor-to-ceiling front aspect window flooding the space with natural light. A central media wall with a gas fire and attractive surround creates a welcoming focal point, perfect for relaxing evenings.
To the rear of the hallway lies a superb open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, cleverly arranged over two levels. The bespoke kitchen features an extensive range of solid wood units including a large island, all with thick white Corian worktops and premium integrated Bosch and Siemens appliances, including a built-in coffee machine. The dining area offers ample space for a large table and chairs whilst three shallow steps lead into a bright and inviting family room, enhanced by an impressive orangerie roof and a wall of sliding doors which open onto the terrace — perfect for entertaining and indoor/outdoor living. Air conditioning ensures comfort year-round in this open-plan space.
Also on the ground floor, you’ll find a dedicated study, a well-equipped utility room with useful side access, two coat cupboards, a stylish guest WC, and internal access to the integrated garage.

The first floor offers four generous double bedrooms, all luxuriously appointed with fitted wardrobes and en suite bathrooms. The principal suite further benefits from air conditioning for added comfort.

The second floor provides two versatile attic rooms with exceptional space and flexibility. One is currently arranged as a games room and gym with a wall of bespoke storage, while the other serves as a guest bedroom complete with fitted wardrobes and use of the adjacent family bathroom. This floor also includes a boiler room and extensive 360° eaves storage.

Externally, the landscaped rear garden is truly exceptional, arranged over three levels to stunning effect. A wraparound terrace leads up to an artificial lawn framed by mature, raised flower beds. From here, a metal staircase with glass balustrades takes you to a generous upper lawn. A final set of central stone steps, flanked by two tiers of unique concrete hanging flower beds, brings you to the top level — an expansive sun-drenched decking area. Here, the fully self-contained garden room provides the ultimate retreat or work-from-home space, featuring a wall of glass that opens fully to showcase glorious garden views. The room benefits from both a WC, and kitchenette and is clad in stylish, durable timber.
The entire house and garden are fitted with a Sonos sound system, and discreet uplighting allows the garden to be enjoyed at any time of day or night.

To the front, a large driveway offers off-street parking for several vehicles, along with access to the integrated garage.
