4 bedroom detached house

A stunning contemporary eco-home nestled in a private gated setting with exceptional gardens and spacious living.

Description

A very special and unique contemporary home conceived by the award-winning London-based architectural practice, Paul Archer Design. The property was completed in 2012 and built to exceptional eco credentials including solar photovoltaic panels, an air source heat pump, and high levels of insulation. Electrically operated insulated sliding panels over all windows and doors on the first floor allow thermal control and security throughout the year. Underfloor heating runs throughout the bathrooms and a borehole provides an independent water supply. An EV charging point is installed in the generous parking area.

Set in a secluded location on the edge of Easter Compton, the house sits at the head of a secure gated driveway, discreetly tucked away at the end of a sweeping, curved driveway. The home is split over two levels, with day-to-day access via the covered parking area providing shelter from the elements. The innovative design optimises the topography of the grounds, with three of the four bedrooms on the lower level and the primary living spaces flooded with natural light on the upper floor.

The polished concrete floor running underfoot creates a clean, stylish interior perfect for this contemporary design-led home. A large Stuv log burner serves as a smart focal point in the outstanding triple-aspect open-plan living area, which seems to draw the beautiful green aspects of the garden directly into the house.

The neat, uncluttered kitchen features bespoke cabinetry, a Rangemaster double oven, Smeg double sink, Liebherr integrated fridge/freezer, and Corian work surfaces. The dining room has a full length sliding door onto the rear patio and a full length window overlooking the rear garden. The principal bedroom on the upper level includes a walk-through fitted dressing area leading into the ensuite bathroom. Two further bathrooms are located on the lower level, including an ensuite to the guest bedroom. The indoor living space totals approximately 2,315 sq ft, accessible through glass walls on both levels.

The Outside
Absolutely outstanding gardens, created from scratch by the keen horticulturist owners, form a truly special feature of this home. Decked pathways wind through prairie-style grasses and an abundance of flowering shrubs and ornamentals, providing colour throughout the seasons. A winding pathway meanders around the grounds, which include a sweeping lawn, a productive vegetable and fruit garden, and a most attractive wildlife pond adjacent to a raised and covered glass pergola.

There is an abundance of storage, including a substantial workshop, potting shed, summer house, greenhouse, and additional garden sheds, supporting a variety of outdoor interests and hobbies.
