Immaculate & beautifully presented modern home in the heart of the village.

Description

Built in 2007, 6 Allington Place is an immaculate and beautifully presented modern home tucked away in a small private close in the heart of Newick. The house’s attractive traditional Sussex-style façade of brick and part tile-hung elevations belies a generously proportioned and spacious interior, which extends to over 3,000 square feet and is superbly appointed, having been the subject of extensive remodelling and redecoration over the past three years.

The centrepiece of the house is the wonderful open plan living space, comprising sitting room, dining area and kitchen, discreetly partitioned by way of a state of the art Rako zoned lighting system. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of contemporary German cabinetry by Black Rok, with composite quartz work surfaces, a large Franke sink, high-end integrated Siemens appliances and a Quooker boiling water tap; it is served by a utility room with space for laundry appliances.

The dining area adjoins the garden room, a room flooded with light by way of a glass roof lantern and three sets of bi-fold doors opening to the terrace. Lying off the sitting room is a spacious study (plenty large enough to be a further reception room), and beyond here, a large and private ground floor guest bedroom suite, with good potential to create a self-contained annexe (subject to the necessary planning consents). A cloakroom completes the ground floor.

There are three generous bedroom suites on the first floor, all with spacious bedrooms and stylishly fitted en suite bath or shower rooms. The impressive principal suite is of particular note: extending across the entire southern elevation of the house and comprising a vaulted bedroom with doors opening to a private south-facing balcony, a dressing room featuring bespoke fitted wardrobes with elegant lattice-work doors, and a luxurious bathroom with suite including a freestanding bath and large walk-in shower cubicle.

Outside
6 Allington Place is approached from the close via a generous block-paved driveway offering ample space for four or five cars, ahead of the integral double garage.

There is gated access to the rear garden to the western side of the house, where there is also a timber storage shed and covered bin and barbeque store. The attractive south-facing rear garden has been professionally landscaped: a large stone terrace extends across the rear of the house, part covered by an electronically controlled retractable awning, offering a number of outdoor seating areas to best enjoy at different times of day. Steps rise to a beautifully tended lawn, edged by beds stocked with a colourful variety of plants including acer, grasses, young shrubs, lavender and box; the garden is fully enclosed by fencing with newly-planted pleached Photinia red robin giving extra privacy.
