Constructed in 2005 by highly regarded 'Kingfisher Prestige Developments', the property has been further enhanced by a large, detached four room 'Interlock' Residential Log Cabin with running water, electricity and air conditioning heating, built at the bottom of the Garden - the perfect Annex, guest accommodation or large Office suite.

Recently completely redecorated with new floorings laid over the newly installed Underfloor Heating upstairs (previously just on the ground floor), this beautiful property offers modern day family living space with to the Ground Floor a large Entrance Hallway, ground floor WC, two huge, linked principle Living Rooms (both with double doors off the Hall, rear bi-folding door systems and ceiling Lantern lights), a fully-fitted Home Office/Study and a stunning bespoke White Gloss 'Handleless' Kitchen/Breakfast Room with a long Central Island, Granite worktops and a host of appliances for the keen Cook and a separate Utility Room.

Upstairs flows over two floors, the 1st Floor having four double bedrooms and three bathrooms (2 Ensuites and the Main Family Bathroom) and the 2nd Floor with a large Landing/Sitting Room and two further rooms, the larger with its own newly fitted Ensuite Shower Room.

Further features include gorgeous wood flooring to the ground floor (bar the tiled Kitchen & Utility Floors) a split level Master Suite with both a separate Dressing Room and a huge Ensuite Bathroom - beautifully appointed and incorporating both a Freestanding Bath and a separate Shower too, a second full Ensuite Bathroom, a big walk-in Store Room off the other bedroom on the 2nd Floor, Integral Double Garage and two internet Networks, with Servers in both the Double Garage and Log Cabin.

The large Garden has been carefully landscaped to give a natural and idyllic, unoverlooked look, the lawn rolling down to steps descending to the Log Cabin.

Without question, this home needs to be viewed to truly appreciate both its exclusive setting, together with the superior quality and size of accommodation on offer.

The Accommodation

Combining contemporary styling with unrivalled security, the Light Oak wood grain 'Solidor' Front Door with its adjacent side lights, opens through to:
Hallway


A great first impression with beautiful Oakwood flooring extending into the adjoining Living Rooms and Home Office/Study.

The smooth plastered ceiling has been finished with elegant cornice, as found in the majority of the rooms (bar the bathrooms and Top Floor Suite of rooms).

There are two store cupboards - a large full height cloaks cupboard and a further understairs storage cupboard.

A Panic Alarm switch designed to look like a simple light switch, is the first hint of the attention to detail to be found throughout this superb Home.

(An App on your phone controls the secure Gated access to this private Two-Home Oasis).

Ground floor WC 4ft 10' x 4ft 2' (1.5m x 1.3m)

With a side facing window, fully tiled with attractive ceramics and fitted with a white 'Roca' Cloakroom suite.

Lounge 23ft 2' x 19ft 8' (7.1m x 6m)

A spacious, contemporary affair with the eyes naturally drawn to the 16ft wide set of Bi-folding Doors, which incorporate remote controlled integrated blinds, which in addition to controlling light and heat from outside, are very low-maintenance, as they are contained within the double glazing units themselves, thus require no cleaning, always appearing new and are protected from damage.

Further sunlight sweeps in through the large 16ft long Lantern light at the far end, with perimeter downlighting and a central light for evening times

The additional focal point is the stylish cvo FireWave 'Fire Ribbon®' built- in remote controlled Gas Fire, the dancing flames set within a rectangular 'hole-in-the-Wall Fire', fronted with a stylish Limestone Surround.

We also liked the bespoke white gloss wall hung cabinets either side of the double doors, the left-hand one incorporating a purpose-built recess for its present record player and both with stylish matching curving shelving above.

Dining/family room 23ft 2' x 11ft 8' (7.1m x 3.6m)

Another super-stylish living room, and again with the eyes drawn to the Bi-fold Doors which open out to the large Entertaining Terrace.

A tall side facing window in addition to another glass Roof Lantern floods even more light in and with its 7ft (2.1m) wide open plan link with the adjacent Lounge, both areas are bathed in light.

Here, as in the lounge, are two built-in speakers connected to the Multi-media Sound System found throughout the Home and the Cabin, all controlled by a Sonos App.

There are built-in speakers in the Lounge. Dining Room, Kitchen, Bedrooms, Main Bathroom, Main Ensuite, Cabin and even out in the Garden. The Owners current SkyQ set up is linked through to a Master Router in the Garage via several Sky boxes, allowing different programs to be watched on the TVs spread throughout the home at the same time, through a Master Remote system.

Study 10ft 5' x 7ft 8' (3.2m x 2.35m)

The perfect Home Office, having been fitted with a smart range of White Gloss 'Handleless' Office cabinets complimented by gorgeous 'Oak' woodgrain textured countertops, which pick up perfectly with the warm Oakwood flooring.

As mentioned, two separate servers enable separate 'Main House' and 'Guest' Networks and the large front facing bay window pours in lots of natural working light.

Kitchen/breakfast room 17ft 8' x 11ft (5.4m x 3.35m)

A stylish and practical confection of White Gloss Handleless kitchen unit, Grey Granite worktops, Grey Slate effect flooring and a host of built-in appliances for the keen Chef.

The Central Island stretches along 14ft (4.3m) and incorporates twin bowls, the left with a Quooker Hot Tap providing 100ºC boiling, cold, chilled still, and even chilled sparkling, water directly from the tap - all filtered.

. Wide Induction Hob with an angled glass and stainless steel Extractor Hood above.

There's a space below for the Washing Machine and two full height units provide a great storage facility for all things tall and long.

A side facing window brings in plenty of light and an extractor fan keeps this useful laundry room moisture free.

Turning staircase with a solid Oak curtail step and then 'Grey Oak finish' treads rising to:

1st floor landing 13ft x 10ft 4' (4m x 3.15m)

Continuing on from the staircase, the 'Grey Oak' flooring flows on into all the bedrooms and up the second staircase to the Second floor 3-Room suite.

The airing cupboard houses the high performance Viessmann 'asl InDirect' Hot Water cylinder giving mains pressure hot water and an auxiliary back up electric immersion heater, along with the Manifolds for the new first and second underfloor heating pipes.

Note: The home is heated by 'Wet' underfloor heating - which heats a room from the bottom up, through a series of underfloor pipes.
The pipes are connected via a central 'manifold' to any heat source such as a boiler (as here - a Viessmann Vitodens 200 Mains Gas Fired Boiler), heat pump or solar thermal energy. The water is heated up and circulates throughout the floors.
We at Henton Kirkman are seeing these heating systems more and more now, especially in luxury homes and newly built properties, as they provide radiant, even temperatures throughout the rooms as the heat is more evenly distributed than radiators, and so can be set at a lower temperature; thus making it a much more efficient way to heat the home.

Master bedroom 17ft 8' x 12ft (5.4m x 3.7m)

Oak steps in this large Bedroom nip up to Dressing Room leading through to the ensuite bathroom and built-in twin double wardrobes with newly fitted grey Shaker style doors.
