The Outlook, Beech Well Lane, Edge End

Welcome to The Outlook, an outstanding three-bedroom detached residence enjoying an enviable rural position with uninterrupted panoramic views across the surrounding fields and countryside. Architect-designed and individually built to a high specification, this exceptional home combines striking design with quality craftsmanship throughout. The property offers spacious and beautifully appointed accommodation, including a principal and guest bedroom both benefiting from contemporary en-suite facilities, ideal for modern family living or hosting visitors in comfort. Externally, ample private driveway parking leads to a detached double garage, providing both practicality and convenience.

You enter the property on the ground floor into a welcoming central hallway, where stairs rise to the main living accommodation above. This level is dedicated primarily to the bedroom spaces, creating a calm and private retreat away from the main entertaining areas. The entrance hall is a striking double-height space, framed by floor-to-ceiling glazing that floods the area with natural light and creates a seamless connection with the garden beyond. Contemporary in design, the open-tread staircase features solid timber steps with a sleek metal framework and glass balustrade, combining warmth and clean-lined modernity. It rises elegantly through the glazed atrium, forming a true centrepiece to the home.

Ascending the striking staircase, the home opens into a breathtaking kitchen and dining space positioned on the upper level to fully embrace the surrounding views. This is a wonderfully light and uplifting room, where the vaulted ceiling enhances the sense of volume and the dramatic triangular gable glazing frames far-reaching countryside vistas. From the dining table, you can look out across treetops and rolling landscape an ever-changing backdrop throughout the seasons. The dining area sits comfortably beneath the apex of the ceiling, with ample space for a substantial table seating six or more guests. The proportions allow for effortless entertaining, while still feeling intimate enough for everyday family meals. Positioned beside the floor-to-ceiling glazing, a reading chair or occasional seating area makes the most of the outlook, creating a peaceful spot to relax with a morning coffee. The kitchen itself is sleek and contemporary, arranged in a generous U-shape that provides extensive preparation space and excellent storage. High-gloss cabinetry is paired with stone worktops and integrated appliances, delivering both style and practicality. There is ample room for multiple cooks to work comfortably, and the peninsula subtly connects the kitchen to the dining space, ensuring the cook remains part of the conversation when hosting. The vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and high-level glazing draw in natural light from multiple angles, keeping the space bright throughout the day. Warm timber flooring runs underfoot, adding contrast and balance to the crisp cabinetry and soft neutral tones. The overall effect is modern yet welcoming  a true heart-of-the-home space that perfectly suits the property’s upside-down design, where the principal living areas are elevated to capture light and views.

To the left, the living room continues the sense of space and light found throughout the upper level, positioned beneath a vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams that add warmth and architectural interest. Generous in scale, the room comfortably accommodates large sofas arranged around a central rug, creating a natural zone for relaxing or entertaining. A bank of angled windows draws in excellent natural light while offering elevated views, reinforcing the benefit of the home’s upside-down design. The glazing ensures the space feels bright throughout the day, while still allowing for clearly defined wall space for media units and artwork. Importantly, the windows open directly out onto a balcony terrace area, seamlessly extending the living space outdoors and beautifully framing the surrounding views. This connection enhances the overall sense of openness and makes the room particularly well suited to warmer months, allowing fresh air to flow through and creating an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The proportions allow for a variety of layouts whether centred around the television for family film nights or reconfigured to create a more sociable seating arrangement when hosting guests. A contemporary freestanding stove provides both a visual focal point and a cosy atmosphere during cooler months, complementing the warm tones of the timber flooring underfoot. The clean lines of the interior, paired with the exposed beams and soft neutral palette, create a room that feels modern yet inviting.

Positioned just off the main kitchen and dining area on the upper floor, the utility room and cloakroom have been thoughtfully designed to combine practicality with the same contemporary finish seen throughout the home. The utility room offers excellent day-to-day functionality, fitted with cabinetry and generous worktop space to create an efficient and organised working area. There is provision for laundry appliances beneath the counter, alongside a sink for added convenience, making it ideal for managing household tasks discreetly. Cleverly planned to keep noise and clutter away from the main entertaining areas, this space supports modern living while maintaining the home’s clean, streamlined aesthetic. Adjacent, the cloakroom is stylish and understated, featuring sleek tiling and a wall-mounted WC that enhances the sense of space. A striking stone basin serves as a standout design feature, adding texture and character while retaining a contemporary feel. The sloping ceiling introduces subtle architectural interest, while well-placed shelving provides practical storage without compromising the refined finish. Together, these spaces blend everyday functionality with considered design.
 
Downstairs, the principal bedroom is a beautifully calm and well-proportioned retreat, positioned on the lower level to provide privacy and separation from the main living spaces above. Generous in size, it comfortably accommodates a king-size bed with space for bedside tables and additional freestanding furniture if desired. The room feels light and balanced, with twin windows allowing natural daylight to filter in while maintaining a sense of tranquillity. Soft neutral décor and fitted sliding wardrobes along one wall provide excellent storage without encroaching on the floor space, keeping the layout clean and uncluttered. A particular highlight is the dedicated walk-in wardrobe, offering superb additional storage and organisation. Thoughtfully designed, it allows for hanging space, shelving and room for drawers, creating a boutique-style dressing area that enhances the overall sense of luxury and practicality. The en-suite wet room is finished in a contemporary style, featuring large-format tiling and a sleek walk-in shower area with a recessed storage niche. A wall-hung vanity unit and WC maintain the streamlined aesthetic, while a wide mirror reflects light and enhances the sense of space. The overall finish is modern, elegant and easy to maintain, perfectly complementing the restful atmosphere of the bedroom itself.

Bedroom two is a generous and inviting double room, thoughtfully laid out to provide both comfort and practicality. The proportions comfortably accommodate a double bed with bedside tables, while still allowing space for additional furniture such as a chest of drawers or dressing table. A high-level window introduces natural light while maintaining privacy, creating a calm and restful atmosphere. The neutral décor enhances the sense of space, making it a versatile room suited to guests, older children or family members. The en-suite shower room is finished in a clean, contemporary style. A fully enclosed glass shower with modern tiling provides a sleek focal point, complemented by a wall-mounted basin set on a streamlined vanity unit offering useful storage below. The WC and chrome fittings maintain the crisp aesthetic, while a window allows for natural ventilation and daylight, ensuring the room feels bright and fresh.

The third bedroom is another well-sized and versatile room, offering excellent flexibility to suit a range of needs. Currently arranged as a comfortable dressing and sitting room, the proportions easily accommodate a double bed if required, along with bedside tables and additional storage furniture. The layout allows for practical placement of wardrobes or drawer units without compromising floor space, ensuring the room remains open and functional. Two windows invite natural light into the space, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout the day. The neutral colour palette enhances the sense of calm, while the positioning within the lower level of the home provides a quiet and private setting  ideal for guests, a teenager’s room, or even a dedicated hobby space.

The main bathroom is finished to a high contemporary standard, offering both style and comfort for family living. A full-sized bath provides the perfect place to unwind at the end of the day, complete with sleek chrome fittings and clean-lined detailing. The surrounding tiling keeps the aesthetic fresh and uncluttered, while a contrasting feature wall behind the basin introduces subtle texture and visual interest. A modern wall-mounted vanity with a countertop basin creates a streamlined look, complemented by wall-mounted taps and a large mirror above, which reflects light and enhances the sense of space. The layout is thoughtfully arranged to feel open and practical, with ample room to move comfortably. Bright, crisp and easy to maintain, the bathroom serves the additional bedrooms beautifully, balancing everyday functionality with a touch of understated luxury.

Outside - Externally, The Outlook is equally impressive. The driveway provides generous off-road parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a substantial detached garage. Constructed to complement the main house with timber cladding and a pitched roof, the garage blends seamlessly into its surroundings while offering excellent practicality. The electric door allows easy access, and the scale of the space comfortably accommodates vehicles alongside additional storage or workshop potential. Above the garage, a dedicated first-floor office offers a superb work-from-home solution. Accessed via its own external staircase, this space provides welcome separation from the main house, ideal for those running a business or seeking a quiet, focused environment. Internally, the room is well-proportioned, with space for multiple desks, storage units and shelving. A large rooflight introduces natural daylight, ensuring the workspace feels bright and productive rather than enclosed. The sloping ceiling adds character while still allowing for practical furniture placement along the walls. The garden areas are thoughtfully arranged and designed for ease of maintenance. A level  artificial grass area provides space for outdoor seating or play, bordered by hedging that enhances privacy without compromising the open outlook. Contemporary glass balustrading frames a raised terrace area adjacent to the house, creating a sheltered and stylish spot for outdoor dining or evening drinks while enjoying the surrounding views. With its combination of generous parking, a versatile garage and office space, and beautifully positioned outdoor areas overlooking rolling countryside, the exterior of The Outlook perfectly complements the quality and design of the home within.
