Bridgetown, Poolhead Lane, Tanworth in Arden | Final Luxury Home Remaining

Some houses make their impression at the front door – Bridgetown however begins a little earlier…

Approached through custom made iron gates, the house sits beyond an immaculately finished porous resin driveway; chosen for both its appearance and functionality, and is softened by established planting, working in conjunction with existing tall fern trees to offer a sense of seclusion unparalleled in the locally.

Step inside and that sense of carefully thought through design and craftmanship continues.

The entrance hall forms the spine of the ground floor, where Amtico herringbone flooring runs throughout and a restrained palette allows the detail & immense specification of the house to do the talking.

Every detail has been covered, from brushed chrome switches to carefully positioned premium lighting fixtures & elements of bespoke joinery to both the main living room and kitchen can be appreciated.

Less immediately visible it the technology nestled into the spaces, an ever-increasing necessity that has not been ignored by Kelly Developments. The property benefits from a fully integrated and hardwired HIK Vision security & CCTV system within excess of five external cameras and a mix of motion and light sensors to keep your home secure, all controllable from a central hallway monitor, or of course via your phone.

From here the house begins to open up…

At its heart is the kitchen, a substantial and beautifully resolved space crafted locally by Cucina. Designed as much for gathering as it is for cooking, an oversized island anchors the room and incorporates a Kaelo wine cooler & seating for three, while a full suite of Miele appliances includes a gas hob alongside an exceptional full height Liebherr American style fridge freezer. A double Belfast sink and Quooker boiling tap go some way to complete a kitchen that that feels reassuringly premium. In addition to the above, a beautifully crafted extra large pantry unit is also supplied by Cucina providing all the storage imaginable for ingredients required to keep a balanced lifestyle. Below the atrium ceiling, the large bi-folding doors extend the kitchen space even further, allowing a copious amount of natural light into this main reception space and inviting the garden in on warmer days. And if you thought surely every detail has now been touched upon, think again, as you will see there is another theme throughout this house, year-round climate control.

The outdoor space beyond cannot go unmentioned.

Through the a forementioned bi-fold doors lies an oversized patio area, which in keeping with the frontage, is finished with the same quality resin, whilst discreet exterior lighting gives the space a different character after dark. The transition from indoors to outdoors offers an extraordinary terrace, extending to circa nine meters before giving way to an expansive lawn, which in turn gives way to a stunning backdrop of mature woodland to the rear, enhancing the sense of privacy already invoked.

Situated within the garden is a separate outbuilding, finished with a tiled and heated floor. Three sides can be opened through bi-folding doors, allowing it to change character with the seasons becoming a garden room, a home office, a space for entertaining or a private gym – the choice is yours.

Back inside, the principal living room is quieter in character. An ultra slim XL LG television and sound bar have been incorporated by Kelly Development, offering a cosy space to relax and unwind in the evening.

The Cucina designed utility room boasts stacked Miele appliances and plentiful storage and a separate sink, conveniently situated nearby the kitchen and just off the hallway.

The ground floor shower room and guest WC has beautifully considered tiling and a Geberit Japanese style toilet.

The dedicated plant cupboard houses underfloor heating equipment, solar technology and battery storage away from everyday life and is situated adjacent to the garage. Even the garage has been treated as part of the house with, fully finished in LVT flooring and is complete with a remotely operable electric door. There is also a useful side door leading onto the left hand side of the property, perfect for busy families or pets perhaps.

There are four Mitsubishi air conditioning units, making the whole of the ground floor enjoyable all year round.

The staircase leads to the first floor built around family living. All four bedrooms benefit from a fitted air-conditioning unit, not to mention all also benefit from built in wardrobes. The principal suite is deliberately more private, situated to the rear elevation, whereby the sleeping space is accompanied by a separate walk-in wardrobe and overside ensuite.

The three remaining bedrooms on this floor could easily lay claim to suite status themselves, with two further en-suites and a separate main family bathroom with freestanding bath completing the first floor accommodation.

Then there is another side to Bridgetown…

The second floors offers hugely versatile space for any potential purchaser, again and of course fully airconditioned by a further two Mitsubishi units and spread across three further rooms, including yet another fully equipped bathroom suite, the space lends itself to the needs of the individuals.

A dedicated cinema room provides a space intentionally removed from the brighter, more sociable rooms elsewhere in the house – somewhere for the lights to come down, the doors to close and the outside world to disappear for an evening.

The additional bedroom is perfect for guests perhaps and a useful linen and storage cupboard completes the second floor.

What becomes apparent after walking through Bridgetown is that its specification is not really about any single expensive appliance, piece of technology or finish. It’s the accumulation of them.

Air conditioning, underfloor heating, solar power generation and storage. Hardwired security, electric vehicle charging, secure gated entrances and open outdoor spaces. They have been considered together.

And perhaps that is Bridgetown’s defining quality. It is a house with all the technology and performance expected of a new build home, but one that has been designed to feel settled from the day you arrive. The hedges are already growing. The garden already has its backdrop. The joinery belongs to the rooms. There are places to entertain, places to retreat and enough space for the house to change with the people who live here.

You simply have to open the gates.
