Description

REF:AS01 Set within an exclusive private cul-de-sac and occupying an impressive plot of approximately one acre (STS), this individually designed detached residence offers over 2,500 sq ft of beautifully appointed accommodation, combining exceptional craftsmanship with thoughtfully designed family living. In addition there is also potential Stamp duty saving - contact us for further details.

From the moment you step inside, the quality is immediately evident. A striking entrance hall, complete with panelling, travertine flooring, an oak staircase with glazed balustrade and plantation shutters, creates a superb first impression and sets the tone for the rest of the home.

At the heart of the property is the stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and family room; an exceptional space designed for both everyday life and entertaining. Finished with granite worktops and a substantial breakfast island, the kitchen features an extensive range of integrated Neff appliances, including a double fridge freezer, induction hob, combi oven, grill, plate warmer and integrated extractor. Two sets of bi-fold doors flood the room with natural light and open seamlessly onto the covered travertine terrace, creating an effortless connection between inside and out.

The separate living room provides a more intimate retreat, again benefitting from air conditioning and bi-fold doors overlooking the rear garden, while a dedicated study offers an ideal home office. A well-equipped utility room and beautifully finished cloakroom complete the ground floor.

The former double garage has been expertly converted into a versatile games and cinema room, currently arranged as a golf simulator, offering fantastic flexibility for a range of uses including a gym, studio, home business or additional family room.

The galleried first-floor landing leads to four generous double bedrooms. The master suite is a luxurious sanctuary featuring a dressing room, extensive fitted furniture, air conditioning and a beautifully appointed en-suite complete with a freestanding oval bath, large walk-in rainfall shower, his-and-hers vanity unit and premium sanitary ware.

Bedroom two also benefits from fitted wardrobes, air conditioning and direct access to the stylish Jack-and-Jill family bathroom, while bedrooms three and four each include built-in wardrobes, making this a home perfectly suited to growing families.

Outside, the property continues to impress. A substantial block-paved driveway provides ample parking and incorporates an electric vehicle charging point, while gated access is available to both sides of the property.

The rear garden has been designed with entertaining in mind, centred around a superb covered travertine terrace with three Velux roof windows, providing the perfect setting for outdoor dining throughout the seasons. Beyond, steps lead down to an expansive mature lawn enclosed by established planting.

Homes of this calibre are seldom available. Combining a high-end specification, generous proportions, exceptional entertaining space and an outstanding plot approaching one acre, this is a truly special family home that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
