5 bedroom detached house

“Period homes” and “new build” spec houses, they would seem at very different ends of the “taste” spectrum, but what happens if you desire the character and charm of a 1920s detached house, with the quality of finish, convenience, and design cues of a new build house? It’s a tough question, but luckily one we have the answer to; welcome to Nork Way!

The developers made a conscious decision from the start of this project to try to preserve and embellish character features within the home, whilst executing a complete renovation, bringing the house up to the spec you would expect to see in a brand new home. This is evident as soon as you step through the front door and encounter the newly restored parque flooring which spans through the entrance hall and into the front reception room. The utility room, downstairs W/C and understairs cupboard can also be found off the hallway. Tucked round the corner is possibly our favourite feature of the house, the boot room, featuring bespoke cabinetry to house the shoes, coats and dog leads, as well as dedicated side access. The dining room is located across from the boot room, with double doors leading out to the garden, and engineered oak flooring to compliment the original parque. The main kitchen area provides the space that most house hunters are looking for, a large open plan kitchen / diner, with a brand new kitchen, doors to the garden and a causal living space. Sage green base units beautifully compliment white countertops, brass cabinet furniture and herringbone pattern mini-metro tiled splashback. The kitchen itself features integrated appliances such as wine fridge, dual ovens, induction hob and dishwasher.

Upstairs, the first floor is host to four double bedrooms, the largest of which is overlooking the rear of the house and features yet more bespoke cabinetry in the form of built in wardrobes, and an en-suite shower room. Bedrooms 3,4 & 5 are all also located on this floor, and benefit from the use of the large family bathroom. On the top floor, bedroom two has its own en-suite as well as an area for a dressing table.

Outside, the driveway is large with ample off road parking, as well as side access to the garage located to the side of the property. At the rear of the house, the garden is a blank canvass of patio and lawn, ready to be taken in any direction the new owner wishes.
As part of the full renovation, the house has benefitted from new windows and doors, brand new wiring, plumbing and heating systems, as well as some additional smart tech throughout.

Planning permission for two detached houses to the rear of the property has been applied for, turned down, and subsequently appealed. Verdict on this matter is expected in Autumn 2024.

The villages of Banstead and Nork both offer a variety of shopping and leisure facilities, from traditional village shops through to larger stores such as M&S Food, Waitrose and Boots to name a few. As well as restaurants, coffee shops and tea rooms. A beautiful park is just around the corner and the local area has a wide choice of good primary and secondary schools as well as independent preparatory and senior schools. There are mainline railway stations at both Banstead, Epsom Downs and Sutton giving easy access to London and access onto the M25 is via junction 8.
