Description

The Accommodation

A magnificent example of modern architectural refinement, the ground floor of Sycamore House has been meticulously designed to marry grand-scale entertaining with the practical demands of contemporary family life. Upon crossing the threshold, one is greeted by a spectacular, vaulted entrance hall that instantly sets a sophisticated tone. This welcoming space is anchored by premium stone-tiled flooring, an elegant bespoke oak staircase featuring ornate wrought-iron balustrades, and a magnificent focal exposed-brick fireplace complete with a traditional cast-iron log burner. Double oak doors seamlessly transition from the hallway into the breathtaking heart of the home, a vast, light-filled open-plan kitchen and dining area. The culinary space is a chef’s masterpiece, boasting a commanding central marble-topped island, a premium recessed induction hob with a sleek matte-black extractor canopy, and an abundance of timeless cream Shaker-style cabinetry, beautifully offset by a striking feature wall of integrated dark oak storage. This expansive space flows effortlessly into a magnificent, sun-drenched garden room layout, flooded with natural light from a striking architectural roof lantern and multi-aspect, black-framed bi-folding doors that open directly onto the paved terrace and expansive manicured lawns. Flowing naturally from this central hub is an equally generous sitting room, mirroring the home's character with its own feature brickwork and fireplace, offering a refined yet cozy environment for evening relaxation. Designed with utmost practicality in mind, the ground floor further accommodates a generous front-facing study, ideal for working from home. Alongside a separate walk-in pantry. A beautifully appointed utility room seamlessly replicates the kitchen's high-end aesthetic with matching cabinetry, premium stone worktops, and integrated laundry appliances, while doubling as a highly functional boot room that provides secure, internal access to the substantial double garage.

Ascending the bespoke staircase, the first floor opens onto a spectacular and airy galleried landing, where premium stone-tiled flooring is beautifully complemented by a dramatic, full-height triangular feature window that frames delightful views over the front aspect and bathes the entire stairwell in natural light. This level hosts four exceptional, principal double bedrooms, each meticulously designed to maximize space and architectural character. The principal bedroom suite is a masterclass in luxury, boasting a vaulted ceiling accented by beautiful exposed timber beams, twin Velux windows, and striking black-framed French doors that open to a Juliet balcony overlooking the rear gardens. This main suite also benefits from a dedicated, walk-in dressing room area that connects directly to a lavishly appointed en-suite bathroom, featuring a freestanding oval bath, a generous walk-in shower with bespoke marble-veined tiling, a contemporary vanity unit, and a further Velux window for a remarkably bright feel. The remaining three bedrooms are equally impressive; bedroom two offers a charming dormer window arrangement, integrated wardrobes, and its own high-specification en-suite shower room. Positioned across the landing, bedroom three serves as another superb guest suite with a front-facing dormer window, fitted storage, and a private en-suite shower room. Completing this beautifully balanced floor is bedroom four, that also enjoys a private en-suite shower room, ensuring every bedroom on this floor offers luxurious self-contained accommodation perfect for modern family living or hosting guests in absolute comfort.

Outside

The property is approached through secure electric gates, with a generous driveway leading to the integral double garage. The development itself enjoys a rare sense of exclusivity, with each house individually styled yet united by the same high standard of architecture and craftsmanship.

The handsome front facade is characterised by rich brickwork, striking gables, and an elegant central oak-framed entrance porch, all set back behind a neatly manicured lawn bordered by a low-level brick retaining wall. To the rear, the property transforms into a secluded sanctuary, where a sprawling wrap-around stone patio offers the ultimate setting for alfresco dining and outdoor entertaining, accessed effortlessly from the home's primary living spaces. This extensive terrace overlooks a vast garden predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with mature trees and established woodland. Pathways weave across the lawns to connect the primary garden spaces to a secondary seating area, perfectly completing this outdoor haven.
