Description
The Details
Tucked away within a quiet and popular development in Blackfordby, Pickering Drive is a beautifully presented detached family home that perfectly balances stylish modern living with warmth, personality and practicality.
Lovingly improved by the current owners, the property has been transformed from a typical new build into a home full of character, clever design touches and high-quality upgrades throughout.
From the moment you step into the spacious entrance hallway, the home immediately feels bright, welcoming and beautifully considered.
To the front of the property, a versatile reception room currently provides the perfect home office space, flooded with natural light from a large Georgian-inspired sash window. Ideal for modern family life, this flexible room could equally work as a playroom, snug or gaming room depending on the needs of the next owners.
Across the hallway sits the main living room — a cosy yet elegant space once again featuring large sash-inspired windows which add charm and character rarely found in newer homes.
To the rear of the property lies the true heart of the home — an exceptional open-plan kitchen, dining and family space designed entirely around modern family living and entertaining.
Fitted with a beautiful Sherwin Hall kitchen, the space features a freestanding island, integrated appliances and extensive storage, while three sets of French doors and a striking glass pod flood the room with natural light and create a seamless connection to the garden.
Whether it’s busy school mornings around the island, family dinners or summer entertaining with the doors thrown open, this is a space designed to bring people together.
A separate utility room, downstairs WC and excellent built-in storage add further practicality.
Upstairs, the generous principal bedroom benefits from both a stylish en-suite shower room and a dedicated dressing room, creating a luxurious retreat away from the main family spaces.
Bedroom two also benefits from its own en-suite, while the remaining double bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom.
Outside, the property continues to impress with landscaped gardens, driveway parking and a double garage.
The home also benefits from a range of smart home upgrades including smart lighting and heating controls, alongside an impressive solar and battery storage system with seven solar panels and 2 x 5W battery banks — helping to create a more energy-efficient and future-focused family home
