A detached contemporary town house of great style and innovative design, with striking indoor and outdoor space, quietly located along a private no-through road

A highly individual property that offers stunning living space that belies the simple, modern lines of the exterior. In the same ownership since its construction 16 years ago and forming part of the cutting edge style of the Grand Design family, this spacious and light home has the flexible living space to suit many audiences. Great thought on design and significant investment both cosmetically and with the technology has been put into the house and we are delighted to be bringing it to the open market for the first time.
When designing the house, the emphasis was to create a very sociable space that combined indoor living with immediate access to outside and this has certainly been achieved. The main living space combines a wonderful arrangement of a relaxed sitting room with Bio-Ethanol fireplace, very much an area for evening relaxation, open to a fabulous kitchen/dining/family space with bi-folding doors that lead to a gorgeous terrace and external staircase that rise to the main garden area.
The kitchen is fitted with a high-end range of bespoke cabinets with under lighting and quality appliances to include a Fisher & Paykel four ring induction hob and four oven cooker incorporating a microwave and steam oven, wine fridge, double drawer dishwasher, fridge and freezer and Quooker instant hot water/cold/water/sparkling water tap. The beautiful breakfast bar and work surface is made of natural quartz and the floors are porcelain tiles that continue out to the terrace creating a seamless flow of indoor to outdoor living also enhanced by the glass ceiling that is a stunning architectural feature of the house.
Across the terrace and also with an internal link is a stylish and fun room that has been enjoyed in various ways. At present, it is another very sociable space with working bar on wheels, fitted cinema projector screen and bank of cabinets. As it has its own en-suite shower it could also be a private guest suite or home office. This room has bi-folding doors that open to the terrace so an exceptional recreational space can be created with ease incorporating the private inner courtyard that is open overhead at ground floor level and enclosed by a glass surround.
The family bathroom within the house continues in the flamboyant style with flamingo wallpaper and a luxury suite with a deep central bath, quartz tiled shower with hand activated light, wash hand basin in a bespoke cabinet and w.c.
As befitting a house of this size and style, the functionality of the property has also been carefully considered and the house benefits from a utility room and plant room with fitted appliances and a Worcester Bosch electric heat source pump and boiler that provide the underfloor heating and hot water.
The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the ground and first floor with the main bedroom suite enjoying a lovely position in the house overlooking and with access directly on to the garden. There is a bank of fitted wardrobes and a smartly appointed en-suite bathroom. Rising to the first floor, there are three further bedrooms (one presently used as a study), served by a large cloakroom that we feel has space to create a full shower room.
The house also benefits from an independent annexe which has its own front door but which can also be accessed off the reception hall. This makes for accommodation that is perfect for guests or as stylish lettable unit to create what has been, a significant income as an Airbnb over the years. The space is arranged as an open plan reception area with kitchenette and a staircase rises to a first floor double bedroom with concealed en-suite shower and cloakroom.
Outside
The outside space is a wonderful combination of private lower terrace and open ground level garden, all linked by an industrial style staircase that enhances the clean, modern lines of the interior. The lower terrace is effectively another room and a continuation of the sociable main reception room space. The ground level garden has an open aspect and is perfect for al-fresco dining and entertaining with a central feature of the glass surround over the sunken terrace. Decked areas provide the perfect spot for BBQ's and there is a fitted hot tub to the rear. The garden is enclosed by a lovely walled boundary that we understand is Grade II* listed.
Immediately to the front of the house is one large dedicated parking space with further parking within the private lane on a first come first serve basis
