Puddingstone House: A Bespoke Contemporary Scandinavian Inspired Masterpiece
Approach and Exterior:
Nestled off Old Mead Road, Puddingstone House is situated at the end of a private road which has a gated entrance and a large driveway accommodating multiple vehicles. At the top of the inclined road, you are met with a green oasis of open lawns, meadow, and mature & new hedges. Additional gates closer to the property ensure further privacy for both the Main house and Coach house. The house itself has been influenced by Scandinavian style, as well as taking some design cues from open-plan Californian living. Each major room has large doors opening onto a patio, with the main section of the house having a beautiful Italian porcelain elliptical patio, surrounded by grey granite chips providing a Japanese flavour to this central space that divides and provides additional privacy between the guest and the principal bedroom wings.
Coach House:
An open staircase to the left of the Coach house leads to a self-contained studio apartment featuring a kitchenette, shower room with WC, bedroom area, and lounge area with French doors and Juliette balcony with beautiful views to the distant fields. Below there are three oak-framed bays. The first is open, and two further bays have lockable doors.
Main House:
You are invited up to the main entrance by striking solid granite steps passing the original ‘Pudding’ stone from which the property was named. The path and steps from the driveway are constructed out of natural granite surrounded by planting, providing a strong natural entrance to this unique residence. A secondary entrance via a slope to the right leads directly into the utility space. The architecturally designed Main home showcases superior exterior materials, including Thermowood cladding which is thermally efficient and low maintenance. Low maintenance high-quality aluminium doors and windows are used throughout.
Interior:
At the front door, you are greeted by an entrance hallway flooded with natural light from glass panes, a picture window, and skylight. The hallway immediately offers sight of the main patio around which the house is wrapped. Light, modern flooring flows seamlessly throughout the home, enhancing the sense of fluidity. White quartz window sills throughout. The house is flooded with natural light through the windows, skylights, and large glass doors at all times of the day, which is magnified by the use of white walls throughout. The light changes throughout the day as the sun traverses the sky, bringing different windows to prominence, and the changing light on the white walls provides an evolving ambience throughout the day, connecting the interior with the progression of the day outside.
Guest Wing:
To the left from the entrance is the guest wing comprising two double bedrooms, each with en-suites, which are on a separate heating zone. Bedroom 1 features a WC with a hidden cistern, walk-in shower, sink, heated towel rail, light-up mirror with a shaver point. The bedroom offers ample space and access to a private patio through tilt-and-turn doors, with views of the mature trees. The second guest bedroom is a mirror image of the first.
Heart of the Home:
Moving through the entrance hall to the right, an expansive open-plan space with a vaulted ceiling. Here, in the heart of the home, you have the kitchen, dining area, and living space, all overlooking the central patio seen through glass sliding doors and picture windows. This area boasts three remote-controlled, automatically closing Velux windows, white walls, and the same light modern flooring, enhancing the home's cohesive fluid design. The kitchen features a stunning 3.5-meter Brazilian quartzite island, a large wine cooler, integrated Miele dishwasher, Quooker hot tap & water filter, and a breakfast bar. Additional quartzite worktops accommodate the flush-fitting German Bora induction hob with integrated extractor. Additional appliances include a Fisher & Paykel fridge freezer, and two integrated Miele ovens. The larder cupboard houses smaller appliances and a Terrazzo quartz worktop. Behind the kitchen is a large walk-in Butler’s pantry with a wooden worktop, sockets for small appliances and ample shelving. Adjacent is the large utility space equipped with a Miele washing machine, separate Miele dryer, and a door to the plant room as well as a separate front entrance.
Principal Wing:
Continuing through to the principal wing, the wide corridor provides excellent views out to the garden & meadow. The transition space features mirrored storage, amplifying the natural light flooding this home. The corridor leads first to a cinema room wired for a 7.1 surround-sound system, with an 85-inch LCD screen and built-in HDMI ports for a projector.
Further along, the principal suite offers a luxurious retreat with triple-aspect views of the surrounding greenery and has access to its own patio through large sliding glass doors. This bedroom has ‘his and hers’ separate en-suite bathrooms. The left en-suite features a pink herringbone-tiled walk-in shower, basin with storage, WC with hidden cistern with Italian marble top, heated towel rail, mirror with light & shaver/toothbrush point, and a window overlooking the main patio. The right en-suite boasts a more open-plan design with a large bath, dark green feature wall tiles, a walk-in shower, heated towel rail, WC, and basin with a vanity unit, illuminated mirror with shaver/toothbrush point. Both en-suites lead into a shared Jack and Jill dressing room.
At the end of the corridor, adjacent to the picture window overlooking the garden & meadow, is a large study. The built-in floor plugs for a desk make it a functional and inspiring workspace, which could also be a further bedroom. This well-appointed room features large sliding doors opening onto its own large private patio with a large sail providing shade in the summer.
Surrounding Grounds:
Puddingstone House has a wrap-around garden, providing privacy and a feeling of being with nature. A small meadow with fruit trees at the rear features a large mound with a wooden bench, perfect for sitting to appreciate the serene surrounding landscape.
Allotment:
To the right of the Coach house is the large vegetable garden which is accessed through a gate. It contains raised beds, wooden composting bins, and a chicken run & coop.
Heating and Services:
The Main home is equipped with water-fed underfloor heating throughout, divided into four zones for optimal comfort. The guest bathrooms feature separate electric underfloor heating. A modern electric boiler powers the heating system. The home is connected to mains sewage. Water is supplied by Affinity Water, and electricity by Octopus Energy. The property also boasts a high-capacity Harvey water softener and a closed-loop water system for instant hot water. The home has zoned internally wired Wifi.
This bespoke Scandinavian-inspired home, with its sophisticated design and unparalleled features, offers a unique living experience in a prime location, perfect for discerning buyers seeking luxury, tranquillity, and a frictionless lifestyle.
