High Oaks Close, Coulsdon, CR5

High Oaks Close is a small private cul-de-sac set behind electric gates with just a handful of similar executive style homes. This house was built in 2011 and sits on raised ground, so the upper floors look out over the surrounding countryside.

The front door opens into a galleried hall with a turning staircase that rises the full height of the house. Every reception room leads off the hall, and there is a cloakroom with WC. The sitting room has a bay window to the front, an open-fireplace with a stone surround, and glazed double doors which open out onto the garden. The dining room is also double aspect and opens to the side terrace, which makes summer lunches easy. A study with fitted desks and shelving means home working has its own door to close. Air conditioning is installed both upstairs and downstairs, providing added comfort throughout the year.

The kitchen is the centre of the house. A central island holds the induction hob with extractor over, a wine fridge and a breakfast bar. Built-in appliances include two ovens, a microwave, a coffee machine, a plate warmer and a dishwasher. The kitchen opens into a family area with a bay window and two sets of doors to the garden, so you can keep an eye on the children while you cook. Beyond is a large utility room with space for two appliances, a water softener and direct access to the garage.

Upstairs, the stunning galleried landing looks down over the hall. The beautiful principal bedroom suite has a bay window, a walk-through dressing room with four ranges of wardrobes, and an en-suite with a bath with built-in television, twin basins and a separate rain shower. The second bedroom has its own walk-in wardrobe, climate control and an en-suite shower room. Bedroom three has fitted wardrobes, bedroom four has a built-in dressing table and storage, and the family bathroom has both a bath and a separate shower.

The whole top floor is given to the fifth bedroom. It is double aspect with lovely views from both windows and has its own en-suite, so it works well for a teenager, an older relative or guests who like their privacy.

Outside, the driveway benefits from an EV charging point and provides parking for about four cars, with lawned areas and planted borders either side. The garage has an electric door, power, lighting and eaves storage. Most of the garden lies to the side of the house. A porcelain terrace with lighting and power wraps around the house and leads to a level lawn framed by borders and mature beech trees. The terrace continues to the rear, where there is room for a hot tub, vegetable patch, two sheds and a potting shed.

A maintenance charge of £550 a year covers the gates, lighting and communal gardens.
