Description

Welcome to Holmefield. An exceptional, architecturally designed home crafted to deliver the very best in sustainable and smart living. Nestled in a desirable yet peaceful setting, this beautifully presented five-bedroom, five-bathroom detached residence extends to over 2,590 sq ft of thoughtfully curated accommodation.

Upon entering through the striking copper-toned front door, you are greeted by an impressive entrance hall, where a floating solid oak and steel staircase takes centre stage. Illuminated by a central lightwell, the space is flooded with natural light, drawing the eye upwards and offering an enticing glimpse of the spaces beyond.

The heart of the home is the spectacular 41ft open-plan kitchen, dining and family area, an expansive and sociable space designed for modern living. The contemporary, handle-less kitchen in graphite grey is complemented by sleek quartz worktops and a full suite of high-specification NEFF appliances. Carefully considered details such as a boiling water tap, pull-out larder, and dedicated coffee nook or bar elevate both style and functionality. Floor-to-ceiling bi-folding doors span the rear elevation, seamlessly connecting the interior to the generous outdoor entertaining space and flooding the room with natural light.

The ground floor is further enhanced by a practical utility room with direct garden access, and a versatile second reception room which can serve as a snug or fifth bedroom, supported by a stylish shower room, ideal for guests or multigenerational living.

Upstairs, a stunning galleried landing with vaulted ceilings creates a sense of volume and light, enhanced by a striking feature picture window and statement LED lighting. This space also offers flexibility for a reading area or home office.

The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive.

A beautifully appointed family bathroom, complete with a freestanding bath, serves this level.

The principal suite is a true sanctuary, boasting vaulted ceilings, ample storage, and a luxurious spa inspired en suite designed for relaxation and indulgence.

Holmefield’s commitment to sustainability is a defining feature. Built with airtight construction, high-performance insulation, triple glazing, and passive solar design, the home is engineered for energy efficiency and year-round comfort. A state-of-the-art MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) system ensures a continuous supply of fresh, filtered air, while an 8.7 kW photovoltaic solar array (which is expandable to 12 kW) supports low-cost, eco-conscious living. A battery ready inverter further enhances future flexibility.

Smart technology is seamlessly integrated throughout, including a Google Home security system for peace of mind, alongside intelligent ventilation and energy monitoring systems that allow effortless control of the home environment.

Externally, the wraparound gardens offer a variety of outdoor zones, ideal for families, entertaining, or even creating a garden Kitchen. A covered car port runs the length of the property, leading to a substantial driveway, and is complemented by an EV charging point. A separate, garage sized outbuilding provides excellent storage or presents an opportunity for a home office, studio, or gym.

Holmefield represents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly forward-thinking home, combining striking design, exceptional comfort, and cutting-edge sustainability.
