An impressive modern family home set amongst landscaped grounds in a highly sought-after setting within Node Park
Description
Hougoumont is a substantial family home built in 2016 within the grounds of Node Park, which offers a further 15 acres of communal outside space in addition to the house’s own expansive gardens. The property has been significantly altered to further improve its living space. Recent updates include an extension (by the original architect), outside landscaping, a fitted study and extensive cosmetic improvements.
With plenty of living space, including four generously sized bedrooms, this modern property is ideal for a large family, with more than 4,000 sq ft of space over two floors. The interiors are beautifully presented, with each room updated at least once since the initial construction, there are a variety of premium features such as Geothermal underfloor heating to every room, CCTV, air conditioning, an integrated sound system, underfloor heating and there is a hidden cinema room that can be accessed via the study, providing further space to relax.
The versatile layout also includes a gym, plant room, storage room and utility room. The contemporary kitchen is bright and open plan to the dining area and was designed by Nicholas-Anthony, with three different Miele integrated ovens, Quartz work surfaces, a Gaggenau wine fridge and a built-in coffee machine.
There are four generously sized bedrooms in this property with three en suites and a good size family bathroom. The main bedroom also comes with two dressing rooms with built-in storage.
The beautifully landscaped grounds are a highlight of the home, having been extensively improved over the years by the vendor. Well-established trees surround the boundary, providing a high degree of privacy, while the abundant beds are stocked with a huge variety of flowering plants, shrubs and herbs: magnolia, buddleia, different varieties of lavender and rosemary, lupins and alliums feature throughout, providing colour, fragrance and texture at different times throughout the year. The garden in full bloom is exquisite and there is an irrigation system for both the flowerbeds and the expansive lawn, for automatic watering. The walled rear garden also features a large terrace for entertaining, plus two outdoor storage sheds. To the front, the house is accessed via a long driveway, entered by an electric gate, which leads up to the property from the park entrance. There is ample private parking and a double garage with Tesla charging station and storage in the roof area.
Additionally, the property has access to a further 15 acres available to all Node Park residents, including a tennis court, beautiful water garden, wonderful woodland rock garden and the sunken garden. Node Park is abundant in secluded greenery and natural woodland, all of which have been lovingly restored.
