Stunning contemporary family house with a lovely garden.

Description

48 Appleton Road is a detached spacious property which has recently undergone renovation transforming it into a fabulous, light filled, family home that pays homage to its mid-century roots. The property is elevated, incorporating floor to ceiling windows bringing natural light, and borrowed light, to all communal living spaces. There is a hygge quality to the house, representing a mix of modern with classic 1970’ s structural design which encompasses clever zoning and cohesive decorating - making use of natural textures including oak parquet flooring and concrete tiles.

Externally, the house maintains its traditional references, blending them with custom designed features such as double-glazed oak spring doors and Siberian larch cladding. Internally, to the ground floor, retaining as much of the building fabric as possible, and working within the existing structural envelop - a design solution was enlisted resulting in a light filled fluid central zone, extending from the kitchen providing clear connections to the outdoors. This is a wonderfully sociable space which opens towards the rear garden providing a useful extension of the entertaining area during the summer months. The kitchen is well equipped with a range of wall and base units and some integrated appliances. Crittal style French doors open through into the sitting room which has been enhanced by the addition of full panel windows across the entire wall to the front of the room. A shower room with wc and wash hand basin completes the accommodation on the ground floor.

On the first floor are four bedrooms and a family bathroom which has a bath and free-standing shower. The windows in bedroom 4 have been replaced with floor to ceiling windows mirroring those in the living room below. If not required as a bedroom this room would make an excellent office or hobby room.

The rear garden is primarily laid to lawn with well-established borders and beds. The owner has recently added an arbour over part of the patio.
