‘Aspirational Homes’ from Magenta Estate Agents showcase ‘Primrose House’, a superlative family abode constructed by regarded local builders, Prestige Design and Build Limited, in 2021, alongside four similar executive homes comprising a select, gated development cocooned by the idyllic village of Hargrave. This wonderful home juxtaposes a traditional exterior with a state-of-the-art interior including high-end ‘Neff’ appliances, Corian worktops, underfloor heating and superior sound insulation.
ACCOMMODATION
Enter the porch and through an oak glazed internal door into the main entrance HALL which affords a suitably warm welcome with the durable and luxurious feel of oak underfoot, coupled with underfloor heating which can be experienced and enjoyed throughout the home. The high ceiling with decorative cornicing draws the eye upwards creating a sense of added space and airiness, while a central oak staircase rises to the first floor. Beneath the staircase is a useful storage cupboard – somewhere to hang up your coats and shoes after a walk through the neighbouring countryside.
Off the hall, is the spacious CLOAKROOM which is fitted with a white gloss vanity basin unit and WC complemented by half-height wall tiling and a polished tiled floor. Of the two reception rooms, the STUDY is the more intimate space and benefits from bespoke full-height, full-width bookshelves ideal for display and storage. Positively delighting the eye from floor to ceiling, the statement wallpaper, glamourous light fittings and window dressings afford the LOUNGE a feeling of opulence. Add to the mix a classic stone fireplace with multi-fuel stove, high ceiling with ornate cornicing, and rustic oak floor, and you have a winning combination.
Extra-wide, glazed oak double doors open into the expansive KITCHEN/DINING/FAMILY ROOM – and it isn’t hard to see why this is the vendors’ favourite room! Spectacular, sophisticated, beautifully appointed; natural light floods in from all angles, accentuated by the high ceilings, and there is a seamless connection with the outdoors via two sets of bifold doors perfect for those celebratory occasions when the sun suddenly comes out and you want to open out your home to the outside.
The grey colour of the kitchen cabinets poses a contemporary twist on the classic Shaker styling; hygienic, non-porous Corian worktops and upstands are the perfect complement. Premium ‘Neff’ appliances are incorporated into the design including two ovens, a combination microwave oven, fully automatic coffee machine, two under-counter fridges, dishwasher, and induction hob integrated into the Corian-topped breakfast island unit.
The UTILITY ROOM is fitted with grey Shaker cabinets and Corian worktops, further comprising a sink and drainer unit, integrated tall freezer and laundry chute collection basket, and under-counter space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A door leads to the rear garden.
Stairs rise from the hall to the first-floor LANDING where there is access to a built-in linen cupboard, and an additional cupboard which houses the indispensable laundry chute. Oak doors lead to the bedrooms.
Luxurious and elegant, the MASTER BEDROOM SUITE combines space for dressing, sleeping, relaxing and bathing. Full-height wardrobes maximise the space afforded by the soaring ceilings, whilst the ‘Juliet’ balcony enjoys a view across the garden toward the communal green beyond. The EN SUITE channels hotel chic with ample space to relax, unwind and indulge the senses. The fitted suite includes a contemporary free-standing bath, vanity basin unit, WC and shower enclosure. As per the bedroom, there is the added benefit of Velux electric roof windows and blinds.
Enjoying a double aspect, BEDROOM TWO is another excellent-sized bedroom also benefiting from a walk-through dressing room with built-in wardrobes providing ample storage space. The EN SUITE features full-height tiling, free-standing bath, vanity basin unit, WC and shower enclosure.
Beautifully presented, BEDROOMS THREE and FOUR are each double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and EN SUITE shower rooms; lofty high ceilings a continuing pleasure and a hallmark of this much-loved home.
OUTSIDE
The landscaped front garden promises an exuberant and fragrant welcome as we move into spring and summer: from the eponymous perennial primroses; to the blooming, British-grown David Austin roses. The sellers have paid meticulous attention to the planting scheme which is now in its third year and delivers year-round interest.
The south-easterly-facing rear garden is in our opinion the perfect entertaining garden, effortlessly marrying more formal, symmetrical landscaping with instant-impact, relaxed planting, and low-maintenance artificial grass. The spherical water feature centrepiece affords a sense of calm and peace, while the large porcelain paved patio provides ample space to gather with family and friends. The icing on this very tasty cake is the home-from-home GARDEN BUILDING, a multipurpose “great space to escape” which currently houses a fabulous reproduction Art Deco bar (available under separate negotiation) in readiness for ‘happy hour’!
The development is accessed via electric gates which open onto a driveway which feeds the five individual properties. Primrose House benefits from a block-paved driveway with parking for four cars, and a single garage with attached designated garden store. Also, with EV charging point.
AGENT’S NOTE: We are informed by the present vendors that they along with the other residents on the development pay a monthly service charge of £25.00 towards the upkeep of the development’s driveway and electric gates.
