The property

Offering the absolute best in contemporary family living, this 2500 sq. foot, detached house over two floors boasts inspired and exquisitely designed interiors with four generous bedrooms, a large open study area, three reception rooms and three bathrooms, all surrounded by private gardens. Originally built in the 1950s, the property has been reimagined and vastly extended by its current owners to create a sophisticated city home with luxury fittings and features, which is flooded with natural light. Privately tucked away behind established neat hedges, the gated drive gives access to the house and the garage, offering private parking for multiple cars. A vestibule welcomes you in and in turn leads to a large reception hallway, with built-in storage. Here, the patterned tiling, muted décor and integrated mood lighting offer the first flavour of the impeccable interiors to follow. To the front of the house is a large, formal living room with double-aspect windows and tasteful décor, lit by integrated ambient lights. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the fourth double bedroom and a spectacular four-piece family bathroom with stone tiling, a freestanding bath, a large walk-in shower, and a wall hung WC. The kitchen has been designed around a large floating island which creates a striking focal point, with excellent preparation space on its stainless-steel worktop, and a solid wood breakfast bar, ideal for quick meals or socialising while cooking. Contemporary handle-less units are neatly integrated with an induction hob with a deluxe slim-line extractor fan, an eye-level oven, an eye-level microwave/grill oven, a wine cooler, a dishwasher, and a coffee machine. The design creates space for a large freestanding fridge/freezer and open shelving, giving the kitchen an on-trend industrial feel. The family/TV-room also enjoys lovely garden views from a large box window and comes with a high ceiling which enhances the airy ambiance. The formal dining room has been fitted with a Sisal carpet and can easily seat ten diners at a time. Upstairs, a sizeable landing with fitted shelves creates a wonderful open space for a home office and gives access to the three remaining bedrooms and the family bathroom. The vast master suite comes with a walk-in wardrobe, a contemporary en-suite shower room, and triple-aspect windows. Bedroom two also benefits from a generous footprint, built-in storage, and double-aspect windows. A family bathroom, fitted with a white three-piece-suite, completes the stunning accommodation. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure a warm yet cost-effective living environment all year round. Additional features include Control 4 whole house audio, video control and distribution system which includes ceiling speakers aswell as integrated CCTV, heating and Alexa voice control. At the rear of the house, overlooking the private gardens, is an exceptional semi open plan living, dining, entertaining and cooking space. The statement kitchen is the heart of this family home, seamlessly flowing into the neighbouring family room on the one side, the gardens via French doors on the other, and a formal dining room behind it. It even comes with an integrated door hiding a discreet utility room with garden access, laundry facilities, extra storage, and space for a freezer. To the side of the house is a single garage with a door leading to the rear garden and access to a handy WC. In addition to the low maintenance front garden, the house comes with a fully enclosed rear garden, creating a haven for children and pets. The rear garden has been landscaped to include three patio areas for seating and alfresco dining, a generous lawn, flowerbeds, mature shrubs and trees (including fruit trees), and wonderful play areas for children with a jungle gym playframe and a sunken trampoline. There is also an outbuilding, which includes a garden store and a luxury sauna.
