The Tour
The journey begins in the grand, airy entrance hall that sets a tone of welcoming opulence, leading to a series of beautifully proportioned spaces. The extensive reception room is bathed in natural light, pouring in through expansive windows, accentuating the high ceilings and detailed cornicing. At the heart of the room stands a stunning white marble fireplace, an exquisite focal point that combines both artistry and functionality. The meticulously carved mantelpiece, with its intricate floral and scroll designs, adds a touch of historical elegance, making it not just a source of warmth but also a significant conversation piece. The presence of this fireplace enriches the room with a cosy ambiance, perfect for chilly evenings. The wooden flooring exudes warmth and rustic charm. The natural grain of the oak provides a subtle, organic texture that complements the room’s otherwise pristine and polished aesthetic. The room’s layout is thoughtfully designed to maximize space and light. The large bay windows ensure that the room is filled with an abundance of natural light throughout the day, enhancing the airy feel and visually expanding the space. The soft, neutral colour palette serves as a perfect backdrop, reflecting light and adding to the overall serene and spacious atmosphere.
Adjacent, the kitchen dining area offers substantial entertaining space, acting as the heart of the home and providing a culinary haven equipped with modern amenities and a sociable layout. The kitchen stands as a testament to modern luxury and functional design. Extending seamlessly over a generous area, this culinary space is crafted to cater to both the enthusiastic home chef and the social family lifestyle, emphasizing a sleek, modern aesthetic and high usability. The kitchen showcases an array of integrated, high-end Miele appliances and a Quooker 4-in-1 tap, which blend flawlessly with the clean, minimalist lines of the custom cabinetry. The subtle colour palette of cool greys and crisp whites enhances the feeling of space, reflecting both natural and artificial light to create a bright and inviting environment. The large central island, with its substantial work surface, doubles as a breakfast bar, offering a sociable hub for family gatherings or casual dining. Strategically placed lighting, including recessed spotlights and under-cabinet lights, ensures that the entire space is well-lit, enhancing functionality and ambiance. The open-plan layout integrates smoothly with the adjacent living areas, maintaining an airy flow throughout the home’s ground floor. This design not only facilitates easy movement and accessibility but also promotes a lifestyle where cooking and socializing combine effortlessly. In addition to the kitchen's modern appliances and luxurious finishes, a striking architectural feature of this space is the series of vertical wood panels that stretch from the floor to the ceiling. These panels not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the kitchen but also serve as a sophisticated, functional element in the design. The wood panels, crafted with a natural finish that echoes the oak flooring, create a visual continuity that ties the space together. This design choice adds a layer of texture and warmth, balancing the sleek, minimalist elements of the kitchen. Functionally, the panels act as a subtle room divider, delineating the kitchen from the adjoining living areas without disrupting the open plan feel. This integration of architecture and design not only maximizes the visual space but also enhances the flow of light, maintaining an open yet cosy atmosphere that is both inviting and impressively styled.
The ground floor also features a separate utility area and a conveniently located guest WC. The separate utility room is strategically placed to offer maximum convenience while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the home. This space is equipped with storage solutions, making it an ideal spot for laundry and other household tasks. The inclusion of a guest WC on the ground floor enhances the home’s functionality, especially when entertaining. Located discreetly away from the main living areas, it offers accessibility and privacy for guests, ensuring that comfort is always within easy reach.
The first floor of this home is a beautifully appointed personal retreat with a thoughtful layout that maximizes both light and space. Featuring four of the home's six bedrooms, this level combines comfort with privacy, ensuring a tranquil environment for rest and relaxation. Dominating the first floor is the principal bedroom, a sanctuary that includes a spacious walk-in closet and a luxurious en-suite bathroom. This room is a testament to sophisticated living, with a light colour palette that enhances the sense of space and light. This floor also houses additional bedrooms, each crafted with comfort and style in mind, featuring bespoke built-in storage and sumptuous carpeting. Thoughtful touches include built-in wardrobes and discreet eaves storage spaces, optimizing every inch of available space for storage without compromising on style.
Ascending to the second floor, residents are greeted by an expansive area that promises versatility and grandeur. This level hosts one large room that spans over the entire floor, offering potential to be customized into additional bedrooms or a luxurious private suite, depending on the homeowner's needs. Like the rest of the house, the second-floor benefits from a light and neutral colour scheme that enhances the brightness brought in through strategically placed windows. These design choices ensure that the space feels airy and expansive, an ideal canvas for personalization.
A standout feature of this home is the Japanese-style double bathroom, a serene retreat featuring a spacious bathtub for two and a walk-in shower in the same room. This design emphasizes relaxation and modern luxury, providing a spa-like experience within the comfort of your own home.
