5 bedroom detached house for sale

The Elgin – a true behemoth amongst the Springfield range of homes – offers an abundant amount of space, convenience, and luxury, while retaining the feeling of a cosy family home.

Let's start with the exterior, where The Elgin's grand presence catches your eye from the street. The combination of sandstone brick and white render, along with feature timber above the dormered bedroom windows, adds a touch of elegance. Large floor-to-ceiling windows and a Juliet balcony create a welcoming feel, inviting you to step inside and explore further. The symmetrical placement of the windows adds balance to the facade, while the modern dark-coloured garage doors, window frames, roof tiles, and balcony railings tie the whole look together. The block-paved driveway and turfed front garden add to the overall appeal, while the PIR light, canopy above the doorway, and doorbell create an inviting approach for both you and your guests.

Stepping inside, you'll be impressed by the thoughtful design of the vestibule and hallway. The entrance vestibule features a window and a large wardrobe, perfect for storing heavy coats, shoes, and umbrellas. As you move into the hallway, the gallery landing above adds a sense of arrival, with its views of the ground floor reception areas. This space allows you to showcase statement furniture, such as a console table or a large ornament, giving your guests a warm welcome as they enter.

Now, let's explore the three large and versatile reception rooms of The Elgin. The first room is designed as a lounge, with three floor-to-ceiling windows providing abundant natural light and delightful views of the front garden. TV and broadband points are included, making it easy for you to quickly get connected. You can choose your preferred paint colour for every room, making this home truly yours with your unique touch. Chrome sockets and switches are also present throughout the ground floor, creating a sleek finish.

The formal dining room is another spacious area, perfect for hosting gatherings and special moments. French doors facing the side of the property allow you to enjoy dinner with a view. The coombed ceiling features two rows of three Velux windows, creating a light and airy atmosphere. This room has the flexibility to be used as a hobby room, study, or even a sophisticated whisky snug or music library.

Adjacent to the dining room is the open-plan kitchen and family area. This third reception room features French doors to the back garden and another window to the side, bathing the space in natural light. The kitchen's most notable feature is the stunning island worktop with a breakfast bar, where the hob is strategically placed, allowing you to interact with your guests while cooking. With an abundance of worktop and storage space, integrated kitchen appliances, and a wide range of customization options, this kitchen is a dream for those who are passionate about cooking.

Integrated appliances included are your oven, hob, hood, microwave, dishwasher and fridge freezer. Choose from a great range of worktops, cabinets and door handles included as standard to customise your kitchen. Optional upgrades are also available to take your kitchen to the next level, with additions such as granite worktops or a wine cooler. Additionally, a utility room off the kitchen offers continued continuity with the chosen kitchen finishes and provides exterior access.

Moving upstairs, the gallery landing area feels like a destination in itself.  From here, you can properly admire the Velux windows and sloped ceiling, and the views beyond, as well as being able to see down to the dining area. It is a spot you’ll find it difficult to walk past without pausing and breathing in the atmosphere created by the architecture. This spacious landing provides the option to add furniture, such as a chaise longue or a comfy armchair, so you can take a seat while you take in the views.

Now let's explore the five bedrooms. The Elgin boasts two main bedrooms, each with a walk in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom with shower. Bedroom 1 features a Juliet balcony with French doors, offering a delightful view from the moment you wake up. Bedroom 2 boasts a charming dormered window, adding character to the space. The en-suite specification is extensive, with your choice of full height tiling around the shower area and half height on other walls, finished off with a chrome trim. It also includes a heated towel warmer, shaver socket, large wall mirror and your choice of vanity units.

Additionally, there are three more bedrooms, all fitted with TV points for your entertainment pleasure.

The family bathroom in The Elgin offers the perfect place to relax and unwind with a shower over the bath. It includes full height tiling round the bath area and half height on other walls.

As you step outside, you'll find a private garden accessible via French doors from the dining room or the family area. The whole area is turfed, and a slabbed patio provides the ideal spot for outdoor gatherings. With a 1.8m fence surrounding the garden, it becomes a safe and enjoyable space for children and pets to play. A convenient garden tap is included, ensuring you can easily water your grass and plants to keep your garden looking vibrant and beautiful.

The Elgin has been designed with the future in mind, incorporating energy-efficient features such as thick wall insulation to keep the temperature cool in summer and warm in winter. The new heating system ensures cost efficiency and environmental friendliness, and the inclusion of cabling for an electric car charger in the garage caters to the modern, eco-conscious homeowner.
