Introduction:
Sitting perched on the brow of Woodland Drive, The Oval is a unique property with a curved form clad in white render and larch baton cladding, surrounded by mature trees. Immediately impressive, this Scandi-inspired home is hugely attractive on approach, set behind secure gates which open to a white resin driveway sweeping up to the detached garage.
It is a passive house with 12 solar panels on its roof which supply much of the energy to the home which is bathed in natural light from the south. Rising three storeys, the curved façade is heavily glazed with slim-line, matt black, aluminium framed windows to drink in the natural heat, light and views which fill almost every room. It is a sight to behold which invites you to explore further.
Entrance Hall, Garage & Utility:
Stepping inside, the quality of finish and impeccable interior design is immediately impressive. Open tread oak stairs rise up to the first floor with slim, Mid-Century Modern iron baton railings running floor to ceiling throughout all three floors. Polished concrete floors are heated from below on all three floors and are also found throughout the house.
At the far end of the entrance hall, the utility room is neatly tucked away with space for the family’s shoes and coats, plus space for two machines and storage for household items. The integrated garage is also accessible from the hall. This is extremely spacious for a double garage, housing the integrated house systems for heating and electrics, plus space for cars, bikes and storage due to its 3.5m ceiling and 70 sq. m. of work space. There is also an electric car charger powered by the solar panels.
Ground Floor Bedrooms:
Ultimately peaceful, these double rooms are tucked away from the main living area of the house on the ground floor. Looking out to the mature trees surrounding the house, they are private spaces with ample room for double beds and freestanding furnishings, alongside built-in clothes storage. Scandi LED wall lights and honeycomb ceiling lights set the mood while the eh suite shower rooms are on trend with matt-black accessories and industrial-style shower screens. Throughout the house, Venetian plaster has been used on the walls and ceilings in a variety of finishes for a natural, raw effect so favoured in the current world of interiors.
First floor Bedrooms & Family Bathroom:
Rising up to the first floor, there are two further bedrooms the family bathroom, alongside access to the garden terraces. Beautiful double rooms, they follow the curve of the building with floor to ceiling windows framing leafy views over the local landscape. The principal bedroom on this floor enjoys private access to a walk-in shower room lined in marbled porcelain, with a slate shower tray and matt-black fittings to complete the scheme.
Luxurious and contemporary, the family bathroom comes complete with a freestanding bathtub with floor mounted taps and beautifully curved sanitaryware to echo the lines within the building.
Garden Terraces, Office & Pool:
Stepping out onto the terrace, the views are open to the west, yet the space is not overlooked on any side due to clever planting and modern fencing. There is space for sophisticated summer entertaining out here or dining alfresco in the last of the summer sunshine as it sets over the hillside to the west. Bathed in sunshine all day, you can sunbathe in privacy by the plunge pool which can be heated to 28 degrees. It is a low-maintenance garden ready for the busy lifestyle, yet it remains a blank canvas for those with green fingers, with scope for further landscaping if desired.
Alongside the drive, below the canopy of trees is a stylish home office space which could have any number of uses as a holiday let or guest suite. It has an en suite shower room and a kitchenette.
Living Room:
There are two beautiful reception spaces, ideal for both entertaining and family time. The first is the living room which is particularly spacious with a contemporary Danish ceiling-mounted bio-fuel burner for added warmth and atmosphere during the cooler weather. Solar panels and a heat source air pump also heat the house economically. Raw fabrics have been used with Venetian plaster walls and birch ply ceiling panels which have been seamlessly fitted within the curved space. Stylish furnishings suit the space perfectly and can be included in the sale if requested.
Kitchen Dining Room:
The epitome of luxury, the designer kitchen in super-matt black has a curved Corian island providing space for both informal and formal dining. Within the handle-free cabinetry, Bosch integrated appliances include an espresso machine, full height fridge and freezer, dual function ovens, a dishwasher and an induction hob with a down draft extractor. The cupboards house a range of storage solutions including larger space and soft-close drawers, while the designer LED light fittings can stay.
This exceptional and unique home is situated in a popular area with lots of local amenities and green spaces on your doorstep – including the South Downs National Park which is just 10-minues away by car. The city centre shopping districts and beach are also within easy reach, and this house also offers easy access to two commuter stations, plus the A27 and the A23 which have direct and fast links to the universities, South Coast, airports and London.
