An immaculately appointed family home with a striking contemporary design.

Description

A truly special and uniquely appointed home, 2 Croftwell has been extensively improved throughout by the vendor to create an energy efficient and immaculately appointed property featuring contemporary design throughout. The footprint of the house has been increased by approximately 50% to create a spacious and well-planned home of more than 2800 sq.ft, featuring a stunning living space on the ground floor which extends to 40ft across the back of the house. The property is heated by infrared technology, a new concept (Grand Designs 2021 award-winning product) and features a wealth of striking design touches. Mostly notable is the floating staircase, which is a focal point of the atrium-style entrance hall and is lit from below, creating an imposing first impression. Also of note is the attractive contemporary kitchen by Moneyhill Interiors, which features Dekton work surfaces, bespoke cabinetry and Porcelanosa tiles. There are a variety of integrated appliances, including two Miele ovens, two Quooker taps, a wine cooler and a ceramic hob with counter-set extraction. The sitting room is also a striking space, with backlit LED lighting panels and a gas fire. At the front of the house there is a pivot front door, accessible via fingerprint ID technology.

The layout has a great flow, beginning in the entrance hall which has a cloakroom/w.c. and a useful coats storage cupboard, leading to the living room, a study, utility room and the main living space which comprises the kitchen, dining area and space for a family area. On the first floor the bedrooms are arranged around a striking galleried landing, including a principal bedroom suite with dressing room and en suite shower room, with two more of the bedrooms benefitting from en suite facilities. The final two double bedrooms share a family bath/shower room.

The house has excellent kerb appeal and is fronted by a large paved driveway providing off-street parking for several vehicles. There is also access to an integrated single garage. To the rear there is an expansive paved terrace perfect for outdoor entertaining, which leads down to a mostly level lawn enclosed by wooden panel fencing and bordered by mature trees and shrubs. There is excellent potential for further landscaping.
