Lower Common, Aylburton, GL15

Alderbrook, once a modest dormer bungalow, is now unrecognisable, having been transformed into a stylish family home that ticks all the boxes for open-plan living, modern luxury and everyday practicality. Buyers will feel reassured by the extensive upgrades, including a new roof, new boiler, new windows throughout, and, under the current owners, an impressive two-storey extension. This addition has created a magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area at the heart of the home.

Real wood flooring leads through to a beautifully designed kitchen featuring a central island with under-counter lighting, creating a warm and inviting ambience in the evenings. Integral appliances are seamlessly fitted within the cabinetry, including two Neff slide-and-hide ovens, a dishwasher, wine cooler and induction hob. Quartz worktops adorn the surfaces, complemented by a copper-finish tap that ties the scheme together.

The dining area offers generous space for a large table, positioned in front of bi-fold doors on two sides, perfectly linking the indoors with the garden during the summer months. The sitting area, open plan yet naturally zoned by an archway, also features bi-fold doors opening onto the garden, along with a modern gas stove that brings cosiness and warmth during the winter. Anthracite grey radiators match the frames of the windows and doors, adding a contemporary touch.

Just off the kitchen is a generous utility room with ample storage for coats, wellington boots and everyday essentials, as well as additional wall cupboards. It also provides a great space for pets to dry off after muddy winter walks.

The owners have created a designated ground-floor bedroom with a modern shower room across the hallway, allowing for complete single-level living if desired. A further room on this floor offers flexibility, ideal as an additional bedroom, office or, as currently used, a children's playroom.

Upstairs, the home offers three double bedrooms and a single. The principal suite is a standout feature, with floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light, a gorgeous en-suite shower room, a dressing room, and French doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the gardens. A modern Jack and Jill shower room serves the two remaining double bedrooms and the single bedroom, currently used as a home office.

Electric gates open onto a driveway with parking and a turning circle for several vehicles. An electric car charger is available. The grounds surround the property are quiet and private and amounting to approximately 0.77 of an acre, and are gorgeous lawns for children to play and fully fenced in for children or animals. At the edge of the land is a stable and tractor storage shed. There are gates in the boundary fence as the current owners are renting the adjacent land and woodland from the neighbouring farmer.

Summer house currently used as a home office with fully sliding doors on two sides connecting it to outside during the summer months. Would make a great yoga studio, artist studio, workshop, hobby space.
