External Detailing
From the moment you set eyes on The Laurels, you're welcomed by an exterior design that effortlessly harmonises elegance and practicality. The facade, clad in premium red-facing brickwork, beautifully frames the A-rated UPVC sash windows, complete with stone windowsills and headers that add a distinctive character. This captivating architectural ensemble is topped off with Tuscan clay Marley Eden pantiles that embellish the roof. This perfect balance of design elements weaves an enchanting narrative, creating a picturesque abode of which you would never tire.
Further enhancing its grandeur, The Laurels sports a practical and spacious block-paved driveway leading to a detached double garage. Featured with electric roller shutter doors, it ensures practicality and a seamless aesthetic. The garage's thoughtful design goes beyond mere utility. Fitted with a personnel access door, it adjoins a pathway leading directly to the rear garden and the utility room. This makes for a seamless transition from the outside to the indoor comfort of your home, underlining the meticulous planning embedded in every corner of this unique home.
Echoing the superior craftsmanship of the house, the rear garden is wrapped in a stylised timber boundary fencing that not only ensures privacy but adds a layer of subtle elegance to the property. The garden, a testament to tasteful landscaping, is laid with low maintenance artificial turf, making it a perfect outdoor sanctuary for all seasons. Timber sleeper border edging has been included to the boundary and features a lush planting scheme. Rise and fall guttering ensures efficient water management, further demonstrating the meticulous attention to detail that defines The Laurels.
Internal Ground Floor
As you enter The Laurels, you'll find yourself in a thoughtfully laid out open-plan ground floor. Each room flows into the next, connected by a seamless, premium wood-effect herringbone LVT flooring with a stylish border edging. This detail, though subtle, highlights the careful consideration given to every aspect of the home's design.
At the core of The Laurels is the gourmet kitchen. The solid oak worktops and upstand, elegantly contrasted by a tiled splashback finish, breathe life into this culinary haven. With pull-out bins, a boiling water tap, an integrated dishwasher, ample island storage, and chrome USB sockets for your tech needs, the kitchen is as functional as it is stunning. Culinary exploration is a joy here, thanks to the induction hob, double oven, double wine cooler, and a plumbed American fridge freezer.
Beyond its functional features, the kitchen is an arena of light and space. Two 1.2m x 1.2m Velux skylights bathe the kitchen area in natural light, which beautifully highlights the premium wood-effect herringbone LVT flooring framed with a stylish border edging. The kitchen seamlessly spills out into the open-plan living area which opens out onto the rear garden through a four-panel bi-fold door - inviting you to enjoy alfresco dining on a balmy summer evening or to simply soak in the tranquillity of your private oasis.
At the front of the home, the lounge creates a welcoming space to unwind, offering comforting views over the south facing front garden through a pair of large sash windows that radiate natural light throughout the room. An inglenook fireplace with a stone hearth and oak mantel takes pride of place, ready to house the warming flicker of a fitted log burner. On a cold winter's night, there's nothing quite like the comfort of a crackling fire and the company of loved ones to make a house feel like home.
Next to the lounge, a dedicated study provides a calm corner for work or leisurely reading. The room's oak veneered doors come fitted with glazed panelling, ensuring a steady flow of natural light that creates an atmosphere of gentle serenity, ideal for productivity or relaxation. Both the kitchen diner and lounge are also fitted with glazed panelling for maximum light transfer throughout the ground floor.
In the entrance hall, a well-positioned WC offers convenience for both residents and guests alike. Adjoining the kitchen, a functional utility room serves as a practical transition point from indoors to outdoors. With access points from both the kitchen and the exterior, it's an excellent feature for managing outdoor activities without interrupting the home's calm ambience. All these elements come together in The Laurels to create a living space that perfectly blends style, comfort, and practicality.
Internal First Floor
Venture upstairs to discover the heart of personal tranquillity and rest within The Laurels. The first floor hosts four spacious double bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed to exude an atmosphere of calm and comfort. These havens of rest promise peaceful slumbers, allowing you to wake each morning refreshed and rejuvenated.
Adding a dash of opulence, two of these bedrooms feature private en-suite bathrooms, equipped with electric towel radiators and stylish QX-supplied sanitaryware. The master en-suite elevates the experience further with a full-length walk-in shower, complete with a waterfall shower head and handheld attachment. You'll find a sleek double sink with double electric mirrors perfectly positioned, combining elegance and practicality in your daily routines.
Centrally located on the first-floor landing, a large storage cupboard serves a dual purpose. With fitted plumbing, it offers the potential for a highly convenient laundry area right where you need it most. Extra space within the cupboard accommodates linen and towel storage, keeping your living spaces uncluttered and serene.
Completing the first-floor offerings, the family bathroom stands as a tribute to indulgence and relaxation. A freestanding bath in a contemporary black finish holds a prime position by a sash window, ready for those tranquil evening soaks. Open the sash window from the top down to invite in the gentle night breeze and gaze upon a clear starry sky, unblemished by the usual light pollution found in busier urban settings.
Next to the bath, a separate walk-in shower cubicle is ready to invigorate your mornings. A large chrome towel radiator sits close by, keeping your towels warm for those chilly mornings. Further enhancing the room's aesthetic, a floor-mounted shaker vanity unit in dark blue offers an inset ceramic sink, quartz worktop, and a herringbone splashback, echoing the charm of a traditional country home bathroom.
Sustainability & Eco Design Features
This home not only champions luxury but also sustainability. Boasting an EPC A rating owing to the use of solar PV panels and a highly efficient air source heat pump that powers underfloor heating throughout all floors of the property. But the ecological design doesn't stop there; increased air-tightness principles are applied during the construction process to prevent heat loss during colder months, ensuring this highly efficient home surpasses the building regulations requirements. The property also features a mechanical heat-recovery ventilation (MHRV) system. MHRV systems work by combining both air supply and extraction through one unit. Moisture-laden, stale air is extracted from the kitchen and bathrooms. The heat from this stage air is recovered via a heat exchanger, before warming incoming, fresh air from the outdoors and being delivered to all living areas within the home. This state-of-the-art system provides complete ventilation without the need to open windows. During summer months, it can operate in night-time cooling mode, providing a subtle but appreciable cooling effect. Moreover, the MHRV units are fitted with pollen filters, preventing allergens from infiltrating the house. Even the log burner is room-sealed, with an external air supply duct ensuring no room vents are required, further enhancing the property's air-tightness and overall energy efficiency.
Owmby-by-Spital and Surrounding
Located in the idyllic village of Owmby-by-Spital, the property allows convenient access to a wealth of local amenities, including a village shop, post office and charming, highly regarded country pub in the neighbouring village of Normanby-by-Spital, which are both located just 600m from the development.
