5 bedroom detached house for sale

Introducing Silver Birches, a five-bedroom mid-century masterpiece in the heart of the Stoneygate conservation area, offered to the market for the first time in over 50 years. This property, a true homage to mid-century architecture and lifestyle, is located on a highly sought-after, private no-through road. Characterised by clean geometric lines and distinctive exposed brickwork, its façade and proportions exemplify the modernist movement. Set on a verdant, leafy plot, this home offers a little over 2,200 square feet of living space along with an established, secluded garden at the rear.

Upon entry, an inviting entrance porch with exposed brickwork leads into a wide entrance hall, offering access to two generously sized reception rooms and a spacious open-plan kitchen and breakfast area. The principal reception room is distinguished by clean lines and angular windows, with a central tiled fireplace serving as a focal point. A separate dining room overlooks the rear garden through double-glazed windows, creating a bright and comfortable space. The open-plan breakfast kitchen is remarkably spacious, featuring ample eye-level and base units, along with a range of integrated appliances, including a double oven, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, and a four-burner gas hob with concealed extractor hood. An adjacent pantry provides extra storage, while a skylight and spotlights make the kitchen bright and airy. The layout also allows for potential reconfiguration, with a conveniently located utility room at the far left, fully plumbed for essential appliances and providing access to a double garage. A ground-floor shower room and separate WC completes the downstairs accommodation.

Upstairs, a generously sized landing leads to five bedrooms, each radiating from a central hallway with open archways. Three spacious double bedrooms at the front of the property are fitted with wardrobes and overlook the leafy surrounds of Pendene Road whilst a further two-bedrooms are well equipped. The family bathroom on this floor features a striking orange suite, adding a bold splash of colour to the otherwise neutral interior, characterised by whitewashed walls and warm timber door frames.

The outdoor spaces are a true delight. At the rear, a private and meticulously landscaped garden, enclosed by mature hedging, fruit trees, and blossoming shrubs, offers year-round natural beauty. A paved terrace provides an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining in the warmer months. At the front, a large driveway accommodating at least three vehicles is complemented by an apple tree and mature shrubs, providing privacy from neighbouring properties and a separate vegetable patch can be found.

Properties in this prestigious location, particularly those ready for thoughtful refurbishment, are highly sought-after. Early viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the unique potential this property has to offer. Offered with no upward chain.
