The Avenue, South Nutfield

Set along one of South Nutfield’s most admired roads, this red brick and tile-hung house sits comfortably within its surroundings, framed by established greenery that softens its handsome façade. Steps rise to a traditional front door beneath an impressive oak dormer porch — a fitting introduction to a home that balances heritage with a contemporary way of living.

Inside, the tone shifts. The entrance hall is welcoming and considered, finished in an earthy palette that subtly changes with the light — at times green, at others warmer, grounding the space. A character staircase rises ahead, while the eye is instinctively drawn through to the rear, where the house opens up entirely.

Here, the rhythm of daily life unfolds. The kitchen forms the centrepiece: carefully designed with two-tone cabinetry and layered lighting that shifts from functional to atmospheric as the day evolves. There’s a sense of thought behind every detail: a Quooker tap for ease, a concealed coffee station for slower mornings, and a hidden cocktail cabinet ready for evenings that stretch out into the garden.

Functionality is equally well considered, with three integrated fridge freezers, two dishwashers, an integrated microwave and a Rangemaster double oven with induction hob and oversized extractor, a setup that supports both everyday living and larger gatherings without compromise. An archway leads to a utility room that feels anything but secondary, while practical elements are neatly resolved with direct garden access and a separate, well-positioned study.

The open plan space is subtly zoned. Bespoke shelving frames a media wall, creating a relaxed living area, while the dining space sits against a panelled feature wall with integrated media. Bifold doors open onto the garden, extending the living space outward.

From here, crittal-effect doors lead into a more formal sitting room, anchored by a stone mantel — a quieter, more intimate setting. Cleverly concealed within the panelling is a hidden door to a second snug, currently arranged as a cinema room but equally suited to a gym, playroom or additional workspace. There is also internal access to the garage, currently arranged as a gym with foam flooring. It also houses the controls for the Nuvo Home Audio system, which serves speakers around the house.

Upstairs, the home has been thoughtfully reconfigured to prioritise space and flow. What was once four bedrooms is now arranged as three generous doubles, plus a bespoke handbuilt dressing room, though the original layout could be reinstated with ease. The principal suite spans two of the former rooms, creating a calm, expansive retreat with a walk-through dressing room and a well-appointed en suite. The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with a more classic, heritage feel. Each room enjoys a green outlook, reinforcing the home’s connection to its setting.

The garden is, simply, a standout. Landscaped with intent, it offers a series of spaces rather than a single expanse — a sawn sandstone patio for dining and barbecues, stone steps leading to raised seating areas, and a broad, sunlit lawn that invites both relaxation and play. Mature planting wraps the boundaries, while carefully chosen flowers bring colour through the seasons without overwhelming the design. Both the front and rear gardens benefit from integrated lighting, allowing the spaces to transition effortlessly into the evening.

A fully insulated garden room provides a valuable extension to the home, currently used as a workshop. Practical elements have also been thoughtfully considered, with a garden shed and a discreet metal bin store ensuring everyday necessities remain neatly concealed.
