7 bedroom detached house for sale

Unique modern detached family home built in an Arts and Crafts style

Description

2 Larmor Drive is an impressive, individually designed detached family home created in an Arts and Crafts style. It was designed by the current owner to the highest standards and built in 2000 by the well renowned local construction company Coulson.

The property which measures internally in excess of 5,800 sq ft successfully combines classic architectural detailing with modern construction techniques, offering both character and first class quality windows and doors throughout. Arranged over three floors, the house provides generous and well-balanced accommodation ideal for modern family living. Underfloor heating has been installed to both the ground and first floors, providing efficient, even warmth and a high level of comfort.

The ground floor is arranged around a welcoming entrance hall, connecting to the principal rooms. On the left is an expansive sitting room with a feature fireplace and an abundance of built in storage. There is also access from this room into the beautifully bright conservatory which provides wonderful natural light and warmth and an access out to the rear garden. To the right is a dining room and snug, the former leading through to the kitchen which is equipped with a variety of wall and floor mounted units, a central island and more than ample space for a table and chairs. The snug could easily function as an additional bedroom thanks to its en suite facilities.

The first floor accommodates the main bedroom spaces, with five well-proportioned bedrooms, three of which benefit from en suite facilities, and the principal further benefitting from a dressing room and overlooking the rear garden. There is an additional family bathroom as well as a study, ideal for home working. The second floor provides further versatile accommodation, currently including a games room alongside an extra room that could be used as a hobby area or has been previously used as a home gym. This space is ideal for older children, guests or use as a private retreat, and could easily be adapted to suit a variety of needs.

Outside, the property sits within established gardens with various seating areas designed to follow the sun but which also offer a good degree of privacy through clever planting, trees and pergolas. A decorative pond, complete with pump, forms an attractive feature.

A double garage provides secure parking and useful storage, with plentiful off-street parking on a large gravel drive.

Please note the property is subject to a covenant in favour of St Johns - please contact Savills for more details.
