6 bedroom detached house for sale

This exceptional property is a testament to the vision of a local builder, drawing inspiration from the architectural genius of Sir Edwin Lutyens. Constructed with bespoke, hand-crafted bricks and tiles, the residence stands out as a unique creation unlike any other in the area with luxurious living throughout.

Underfloor heating ensures year-round comfort. Leaded light double-glazed windows with stunning wooden mullions offer both elegance and energy efficiency and integrated speakers provide seamless audio in various rooms.

The dream family kitchen at the heart of the home boasts a magnificent 2.8m x 1.8m granite island and a suite of top-of-the-line Miele appliances, including an oven, steam oven, microwave, Nespresso coffee machine, plate warmer, two Fisher Paykel dishwashers, and a wine fridge.

Beyond the impressive kitchen, the expansive layout features:

A grand entrance hall with a sweeping oak staircase.
A triple-aspect drawing room, perfect for entertaining.
A dedicated study with built-in oak shelving.
A dining room seamlessly connecting to the kitchen.
A well-equipped utility room.

The upper floor offers five comfortable double bedrooms, including a luxurious master suite with an en suite bathroom. Two additional guest bedrooms also boast en suite shower rooms. On the second floor, a partially converted loft space presents exciting possibilities for further living space, subject to necessary approvals.

The property has been extended by the current owners to create a further wing providing garaging for two cars and a self-contained/ guest annexe. The annexe has a living space with fitted kitchen and seating area on the ground floor, whilst upstairs there is a double bedroom with ensuite shower room.

Whilst easy to separate this accomodation off, it is perfectly possible to include as part of the main house where the ground floor would make a fabulous games room.

Accessed through a secure gated entrance, the property boasts a circular driveway with ample parking. The rear of the house unveils breathtaking views of Leckhampton Hill and the Cotswold escarpment. The impressive grounds, designed by a Chelsea award winner, Peter Dowle, feature:

Two areas of lawn.
Three inviting outdoor seating areas.
Established borders bursting with colorful blooms and mature apple trees.
A recently added garden building to the side of the house has the potential for multiple potential applications as a home office, opulent workshop or even a garden shed.
