7 Brownlow Close, East Stoke 

A Home with Presence and Personality 

Set within the quiet cul-de-sac of Brownlow Close, this striking contemporary home stands as a celebration of modern design and individual character. Built in 2004 as a bespoke self-build, it combines bold architectural form with exceptional comfort and energy efficiency, a home that feels as calm and inviting as it is unique. 

Every element has been thoughtfully considered, from the open-plan living spaces to the innovative heat recovery system that captures warmth from the indoor pool to heat the home. The result is a residence that feels beautifully balanced, where light, texture and flow come together in harmony. 

A Warm and Welcoming Entrance 

A welcoming introduction to the home, the hallway sets the tone with ceramic tiled flooring and glazed side panels that draw in the light. There is a cloak cupboard for storage and a beautifully designed WC featuring a Fired Earth stone basin, mosaic detailing and contemporary fixtures. 

Everyday Living with Style and Flow 

Designed for effortless everyday living, the principal living area is warm and open, with oak flooring underfoot and a central fireplace framed in Estonian granite, a tactile centrepiece that adds a natural depth to the space. 

Large windows and French doors draw in soft natural light and open to the garden, connecting the indoors with the peaceful greenery beyond. In the evenings, this space transforms beautifully, with a built-in projector creating the perfect setting for cosy movie nights or relaxed weekend gatherings, turning the living area into your own private cinema. 

The open connection through to the kitchen and dining space makes this an ideal layout for entertaining, while the flow of light and air gives a constant feeling of calm and comfort throughout the day. 

The Heart of the Home 

The kitchen and dining area is wonderfully light, framed by a deep bay window that overlooks the adjoining countryside. Solid oak cabinetry is paired with granite worktops, and a striking circular stainless-steel water station creates a focal point that feels both sculptural and practical. 

Integrated appliances include a stainless Zanussi hob, CDA double oven and microwave, with a breakfast bar offering the perfect place for casual dining. 

The adjoining dining area enjoys a panoramic view of the fields beyond, a space that naturally draws everyone together, whether for morning coffee in the sunshine or dinner with friends at dusk. 

Your Private Pool Retreat 

Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the home, a private indoor heated swimming pool set within a fully tiled leisure suite. The pool measures over 17 feet in length and is complemented by a bespoke wall design, integrated shower area and glazed internal windows that allow light to filter softly through the space. 

This room offers year-round enjoyment and a sense of tranquillity rarely found in a home of this size. 

Light, Space and Connection 

An open, airy landing connects the first-floor rooms and houses the Vaillant gas-fired central heating boiler discreetly within built-in cupboards. 

A Peaceful Principal Suite 

The principal bedroom is beautifully individual, octagonal in shape, with a wide bay of three windows framing open countryside views. It is a space that feels both architectural and restful, with soft light throughout the day. 

An adjoining dressing room provides generous fitted storage with hanging rails and shelving, completing a private suite that feels quietly indulgent. 

Rooms with a View 

A spacious double bedroom positioned to the rear of the home, again capturing those far-reaching countryside views. The proportions are excellent, with room for additional furniture or a peaceful work-from-home space if desired. 

Another generous double room mirrors the views of the surrounding fields. Light and tranquil, it is ideal as a guest bedroom, child’s room, or creative space. 

Relax and Unwind 

The family bathroom has been designed with an emphasis on style and comfort. A white suite is paired with mosaic detailing and recessed shelving, while the oversized bath with shower attachment provides the perfect place to unwind. The room is finished with ceramic floor tiling and a large window for natural light. 

Outdoor Spaces to Enjoy 

The setting of 7 Brownlow Close is wonderfully private and serene, designed to make the most of its open countryside backdrop. The rear garden is thoughtfully landscaped with gravel pathways, mature planting and a backdrop of open fields that bring a true sense of space and calm. 

To the side of the house, a lovely seating area flows seamlessly from the lounge, the perfect spot for relaxed evenings with friends or al fresco dining as the sun sets. This space sits in front of the charming log cabin and creates a wonderful outdoor entertaining area that feels connected to the heart of the home. 

The log cabin itself adds superb versatility, providing a home office with French doors opening to the courtyard, a store room for practical storage, and a sauna, a private retreat for unwinding at the end of the day. 

There is also a double garage, complete with power, lighting and French doors that open directly onto the garden, providing a multi-purpose space that could serve as a workshop, gym or creative studio. 

The front driveway offers ample parking for several vehicles.
