More Space. More Luxury. More Home

Not Just Five Bedrooms – A Home That Grows With You

Luxury, space and versatility come together beautifully in this exceptional five-bedroom Cala Crighton – an impressive family home presented in truly walk-in condition, with a superb open-plan living space and an unusually generous rear garden.

Occupying a sought-after position on Ben Vorlich Drive, this beautifully presented detached home is an outstanding example of Cala’s luxurious Crighton house type. Generous proportions, an excellent family-friendly layout and a high-quality contemporary finish combine to create a home that feels impressive from the moment you step inside.

The welcoming entrance hallway immediately introduces the sense of space found throughout the property. Fresh, neutral décor and an abundance of natural light create a calm and sophisticated first impression, while the layout has been carefully designed to balance sociable open-plan living with separate spaces in which to relax.

To the front of the home is a substantial formal lounge, a wonderfully comfortable room with a large window drawing in plenty of natural light. Its generous proportions allow for substantial furniture while retaining a feeling of openness, making this the perfect retreat for quieter evenings away from the main family living space.

The real showpiece, however, is the magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining and family room extending across the rear of the home. Entered through sleek glazed double doors, this exceptional space has been created around modern family life and entertaining.

The contemporary kitchen incorporates an extensive range of stylish cabinetry, generous work surfaces and integrated appliances, while the size of the room comfortably accommodates a substantial dining table alongside a relaxed family seating area.

Wide bi-fold doors open directly onto the patio and garden, flooding the room with light and creating a wonderful connection between indoors and out. In warmer weather, the entire space can flow effortlessly into the garden, making it equally suited to everyday family life, summer barbecues and larger gatherings with friends and family.

A separate utility room continues the contemporary finish and provides excellent additional storage, worktop space and laundry facilities. Particularly practical for family living, it also provides direct access to the rear garden and internal access to the integral garage.

A stylish downstairs WC completes the ground-floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the feeling of space continues with a bright and generously proportioned landing, complemented by excellent built-in storage.

The principal bedroom is a superb private retreat, positioned to the front of the property and benefiting from fitted wardrobes and a beautifully finished en-suite shower room.

Bedroom two is another generous double bedroom, this time overlooking the rear garden, and also enjoys fitted wardrobes together with its own contemporary en-suite shower room – an excellent arrangement for guests, older children or families looking for additional privacy.

Bedroom three is another attractive front-facing double with built-in wardrobes, while bedrooms four and five demonstrate just how versatile the Crighton layout can be. Both are currently utilised as comfortable home-working spaces, yet retain the flexibility to function as bedrooms, studies, hobby rooms or children's rooms as family requirements change.

Completing the upper floor is the stylish family bathroom, featuring both a full-size bath and separate shower enclosure, contemporary vanity storage and modern neutral finishes.

An Exceptional Garden

The outside space is another significant feature of this particular home.

To the front, a generous driveway provides off-street parking and leads to the integral garage, while to the rear lies a particularly large, fully enclosed family garden that provides a superb extension of the living accommodation.

Immediately outside the bi-fold doors is a substantial patio area, ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining and summer barbecues. Beyond this lies an expansive lawn providing plenty of room for children and pets, together with a dedicated children's play area.

The sheer amount of usable outdoor space is a real advantage, offering different areas for adults to relax, children to play and family and friends to gather – all while remaining directly connected to the kitchen, dining and family room.
