Edmonds Lodge, 4 St Marys View, Burham

A substantial and elegantly designed four-bedroom detached modern residence, occupying a desirable plot with a south-west facing garden and extensive driveway.

Set within a small and exclusive development of just four individually designed, energy-efficient homes situated in the original hamlet of Burham, located only a few miles from the historic cathedral city of Rochester.

Built in 2023 by the renowned developer Rosechurch Homes, the home has been completed to an exceptional standard, showcasing high-quality architecture and fine craftsmanship throughout. The property provides over 2,800 sq. ft. of thoughtfully configured accommodation, with extensive glazing that frames the garden and creates a strong connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The current owners demonstrate a keen eye for detail, presenting the home with refined interior design, a calming palette of pale neutral tones, natural materials, and high-specification fixtures and fittings throughout. The aesthetics of the home are perfectly balanced with energy efficiency and modern convenience, including zoned underfloor heating, excellent levels of insulation, a high-end security system, and direct hard-wired Wi-Fi.

The façade blends traditional English design with contemporary detailing, featuring heritage-style red brick at ground level, Supertech weatherboarding above, a pitched tiled roof with gables, rooflights, and a prominent brick chimney. A timber-framed entrance porch neatly frames the contemporary front door and adds further depth to the homes kerb appeal.

The entrance hall forms the centre of the home, with a generous study/playroom to the left, a cloakroom to the right, and a large coat cupboard positioned opposite the staircase, which features a striking glass balustrade.

The open-plan living space spans almost 30 feet in width and is flooded with natural light from its southerly aspect and the expanse of bi-fold doors. The kitchen is fitted with Silestone worktops and integrates Caple appliances, including two double ovens, dishwasher, induction hob, full-height fridge, and separate full-height freezer. A central island with breakfast bar is illuminated by stylish pendant lighting and incorporates an inset sink with a Franke 4-in-1 tap. This space is further enhanced by a fully integrated utility room, which also provides access to the garden and the integral garage.

The ground floor is complemented by a triple-aspect sitting room featuring a Stovax wood-burning stove set within exposed brickwork beneath an oak bressummer. Bi-fold doors open onto a west-facing patio, perfectly positioned to enjoy the evening sun.
To the first floor, a large galleried landing, bathed in natural light from a skylight, leads to a luxurious bathroom, and four double bedrooms, three of which have ensuites. The principal bedroom is a luxurious retreat, featuring a built-in dressing room and a beautifully appointed bathroom with a remote-controlled Aqualisa smart shower, anti-fog LED mirror, and elegant sanitary ware.
