Warmth and welcome

Tucked behind wrought iron gates, pull up onto the broad and smoothly tarmacked driveway, where the chic modernisations at No. 339 are instantly visible in the anthracite grey bay windows and decorative arch portico above the front door. Parking is plentiful, alongside a garage to the side, running the full length of the home, replete with lighting and power.

OWNER QUOTE: “We were drawn to the quality. There’s a ‘wow factor’ before you walk in.”

Inside, the archway above the door is mirrored, framing a broad, bright and inviting entrance hallway, where the fresh white décor and contemporary spotlighting contrast elegantly with the rich polished tones of the engineered dark oak flooring underfoot.

Beneath the archway, a vestibule area provides space to pause, perch and remove coats and shoes, with cushioned seating to both sides brimming with storage.

Chrome, decorative balustrades capture the essence of the home’s historic character on the stairs, with a contemporary twist, while further fitted storage is seamlessly secreted in the cupboards beneath.

Throughout, classic blends with modern, with chic panelling, minimal tones and plantation shutters featuring in the windows.

Work in comfort

To the left, work from home in peace and quiet calm in the study; a spacious room filled with light, offering the perfect place for a desk in the bay window to the front. Ideal also as a snug, there is currently wall mounted original art in place, but it could accommodate a television with plenty of space for a sofa.

Elegant and minimal, to the right, the dining room also looks out to the leafy views at the front, providing a sophisticated space in which to wine, dine and entertain. A versatile room, there is scope for an accessible downstairs bedroom, or playroom should you require.

The embodiment of modern living, the light filled lounge at the rear is a spacious room, where a contemporary media wall features a wall-mounted TV with a linear, underlit, inset fire beneath, set against vertical slatted panelling adding depth and warmth to this graceful, minimal family room. Bifolding doors open at the rear, stepping out onto an elevated porcelain patio overlooking the garden, perfect for indoor outdoor living in the summer months.

Across the entrance hall, the cloakroom is tucked away, conveniently central to the ground floor rooms.

The heart of the home

Capturing the essence of the period character, sliding Crittall-style doors open to reveal the designer Bulthaup kitchen, the sociable heart of this home. Warmth flows out beneath the porcelain tiles underfoot, also featuring in the study and lounge and continuing through into the utility room.

Individual elements bring an artistic edge to a kitchen-family room built around flow and functionality, such as the distinctive bookcase which also serves as a wine rack to the right.

Spacious design is at the heart of the home; to the left, the main working kitchen remains clear and functional for whoever is at the helm, while the seating beyond, with sofa and television, allows others to relax, chat and remain connected without stepping into the realm of the chef.

Full width bifold doors open out to the elevated porcelain patio, drawing in far-reaching views across garden, rooftops and treetops, offering easy access out for al fresco dining on sunny days.

For sociable dining, the substantial island, finished in dark marble and topped with a sleek sheet of tinted black glass, creates a natural gathering point, perfect for breakfast on the go or a glass of wine in the evening, its surface catching the light with a soft, polished sheen. Alongside, Corian worktops provide a practical, contemporary counterpoint, offering ample preparation space. Siemens appliances feature throughout including ovens, warming drawer, a full-height fridge, under-counter freezer, dishwasher and a five-burner gas hob set beneath a statement extractor. Storage, another strength of No. 339, is abundant in the kitchen, with further provision found within the utility room.

A user-friendly space, the utility room also features plumbing for washing machine and dryer, alongside ample storage including a traditional broom cupboard for taller cleaning items including vacuum, while the boiler is discreetly housed out of sight, ensuring a streamlinedlook.

A home offering the best of both worlds, the kitchen balances open plan living with the opportunity to dine, relax or work in the quieter surroundings throughout the ground floor.

When bedtime beckons

Returning to the entrance hall, ascend the spectacular staircase with chic carpet runner to arrive at the first-floor landing, flooded with natural light courtesy of a light well, drawing illumination down from the second floor. Spacious and brimming with storage, modern spotlighting guides the way.

To the front, discover a bountiful bedroom, sumptuously sized and looking out toward the wooded first tee of the nearby golf course. Refresh and revive in the en suite, beautifully furnished with deep, egg-shaped bath and separate shower, wash basin and WC.

Equally opulent is the main family bathroom across the landing, again furnished with bath, separate shower, chrome heated towel radiator and twin wash basins. Fully tiled in porcelain, the bathrooms at No. 339, London Road exemplify the high-quality finish found throughout the home.

To the rear of the first floor, gaze out over the glorious greenery of the garden, taking in the rooftops, playing fields and woodland beyond, from the Juliet balcony in the second of the king-size bedrooms, each of which is fully fitted with wardrobes.

Currently serving as a reading room, the third of the king size bedrooms awaits next door, featuring built-in wardrobes offering ample storage.

With space for all the family, a fourth double bedroom awaits along the landing, before arriving at the serenity of the master suite.

A wow-factor bedroom, a true sanctuary in white and beige, the master suite offers abundant storage in the built-in wardrobes. Wake up to peaceful, leafy views, before refreshing in the boutique standard shower room en suite with twin sculptural wash basins.

OWNER QUOTE: “It’s idyllic: Big skies, great sunsets and sunrises.”

From the landing, a door opens to reveal a striking staircase, finished in ornate silver and gold, rising to the top floor.

Opening up into a vast, open-plan space, the central staircase arrives at the middle of the room, naturally dividing it into zones for sleeping, working, and relaxing, without the need for walls. Set beneath the eaves, a tucked away en suite awaits with freestanding bath. A versatile space, it could equally serve as a bedroom suite, studio, yoga space or playroom.

Sunshine, shelter and shade

Facing east, the rear of the house faces soothing sunrises to begin the day. Step out onto the broad porcelain terrace from both lounge and kitchen, framed by wrought iron detailing and designed for entertaining on a larger scale.

From here, steps lead down to a sunken lawn, creating a natural transition between spaces, with plenty of room for children to play.

Elegantly and professionally designed, a series of statement planters are architectural highlights, with bay trees lending a Mediterranean feel planted in large black containers and lighter, chiselled stone pieces, all subtly underlit to create ambience into the evening.

An open-sided gazebo on the lawn serves as a relaxed outdoor room, ideal for barbecues and summer gatherings.

Private and secure, the garden is perfect for children and pets, enclosed with gated side access, providing peace of mind.

Out and about

Smoothly blending rural and urban lifestyle, step outside and straight into walks across the grassy slopes with easy access to restaurants, pubs and wine bars in nearby Stockton Heath.

With a golf course directly facing the house, a green and uninterrupted outlook is part of everyday life. From the doorstep, head out across the golf course and into surrounding woodland and heathland, or into the heart of Stockton Heath itself, just a short 12-minutestroll away where a vibrant mix of independent restaurants, wine bars, cafés and everyday essentials including an M&S Food Hall await.

Well-regarded local schools, including primary options and Bridgewater High School, are within walking distance, adding to the ease of family life, while healthcare facilities, from doctors to dentists and osteopaths, are all close at hand.
