Set on one of the development's most desirable corner plots, this five-bedroom detached residence has undergone a remarkable transformation, elevating the original David Wilson design into a home of genuine distinction. Thoughtfully extended, meticulously upgraded and finished with an unwavering attention to detail, it offers a level of specification and sophistication rarely found within a modern family home.
Natural light is a defining feature throughout. The welcoming reception hall introduces the refined aesthetic that continues across all three floors, where contemporary finishes, intelligent lighting and carefully curated design choices create a home that feels both elegant and effortlessly liveable.
The centrepiece is unquestionably the spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and entertaining space. Designed around modern family life, the rear extension has created a room that feels expansive yet inviting, where everyday moments and larger gatherings can be equally enjoyed. Bespoke cabinetry by Sherwin Hall is complemented by granite work surfaces, premium integrated appliances and a substantial island that naturally becomes the social focal point of the home.
Above, a self-cleaning triple-glazed roof lantern – a feature more commonly associated with Grand Designs than mainstream housebuilding – draws natural light deep into the space, transforming the atmosphere throughout the day. French doors frame views of the garden and blur the boundaries between inside and out, whilst carefully integrated mood lighting allows the room to transition seamlessly from bright family hub to elegant evening entertaining space.
Beyond the kitchen, the accommodation flows beautifully. The dual-aspect lounge offers a calm retreat, bathed in natural light, while a separate study provides flexibility for home working, a snug or playroom. Practicality has not been overlooked either, with a dedicated utility room, guest cloakroom and excellent storage solutions incorporated throughout.
Arranged across the upper floors are five generously proportioned bedrooms, offering versatility for growing families and multi-generational living alike. The first floor provides three substantial bedrooms and family bathroom facilities, while the second floor delivers a particularly impressive principal suite. Elevated above the rest of the home, it enjoys a sense of privacy and tranquillity, complete with fitted wardrobes, an elegant en-suite and attractive views across the surrounding landscape. A further bedroom and gallery-style landing create additional opportunities for a reading area, workspace or quiet retreat.
What truly separates this home from its contemporaries, however, is the quality of its specification. A sophisticated Evolution lighting system allows individual scene settings throughout the property, integrated speaker systems enhance key rooms, and premium finishes including Amtico flooring and bespoke LED detailing create a polished, contemporary feel at every turn.
Outside, the sense of space continues. The property occupies a secluded corner position, benefiting from a larger-than-average plot and a beautifully private south-facing garden. Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the landscaped gardens combine generous lawns with decked seating areas, all enjoying a sunny aspect and excellent levels of privacy.
To the front, an expansive driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a detached double garage with electric doors and an exceptional fully boarded loft storage area above — a practical feature rarely found in homes of this style.
This is far more than a modern detached house. It is a home that has been carefully reimagined and significantly enhanced to create something altogether more special — combining architectural interest, contemporary luxury and exceptional family functionality in equal measure.
