An exceptional and individually designed five bedroom detached family home, occupying a superb position on Butt Lane in the heart of the highly regarded Allesley Village. Set behind a secluded gated private driveway this truly unique property offers far more than first meets the eye.
Consrtucted approximately 22 years, this is a house with a real sense of individuality. Carefully designed to create versatile living accommodation, generous proportions and an interesting arrangement of split levels, it offers a style and layout rarely found in modern family homes. Extending to over 2000 sq ft, the accommodation is arranged over four split levels and provides four/five bedrooms, three en-suite shower rooms, a further family bathroom and multiple reception areas, a kitchen with an island for dining and dedicated home office.
On entering, you are immediately greeted by the property's distinctive split-level design. The impressive hallway and staircase from the heart of the home, with natural wood detailing and rooflights helping to create a wonderful sense of light, height and space. The open-plan feel connects the different levels while giving each area its own character and purpose.
The kitchen is a particularly impressive space, designed with family living and entertaining in mind. Complimented by a central island with breakfast seating, appliances include a Kenwood range cooker and a Kenwood dishwasher. Generous windows allow natural light to flood the room while doors provide access to the rear garden. A separate utility space is positioned alongside the kitchen while the dining room provides an excellent setting for family meals and more formal entertaining.
The principle living room offers another generous reception space, the wood burning stove provides an attractive focal point, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The living room provides access to the recently added Garden Room, ideal for an additional dining and living area overlooking the garden and providing additional flexibility for everyday life. Also situated on this carefully designed floor, an additional reception space ideal for a snug or additional bedroom. Finally, the well appointed home office has been thoughtfully incorporated into this split level.
The upper floors continue to impress, with four well-proportioned bedrooms arranged across the levels. Three benefiting from their own en-suite shower room, with a further family bathroom serving the remaining accommodation. The master bedroom is particularly spacious. The versatile arrangement is ideally suited to larger families, guests or those looking for additional space.
Throughout the property there are a number of additional features that enhance both comfort and practicality, including some electrically operated blinds and rooflights.
Externally the property continues to deliver. Accessed via electrically operated driveway gates with an intercom entry system, the frontage provides plenty of secure off road parking and leads towards the separate garage, which benefits from an electrically operated door. External power points are provided.
To the rear, the garden offers a pleasant degree of privacy and provides a lovely space for both relaxation and entertaining. With areas for outdoor seating and dining, alongside a lawned garden beyond, it offers plenty of room for the family to enjoy.
Over the years we have been able to make this house our home, a truly special and unique place to live. This house has seen lots of memorable events, especially hosting 'big' birthday gatherings for our family over the years.
We love all of the rooms, however if we had to chose it would probably be the garden room, a relatively new addition to the property but a special space to enjoy family time overlooking the garden, especially during the warmer months. Additionally the top floor landing is a loved spot with the views out of the skylight overlooking the rolling countryside.
We will certainly miss the tranquillity of this house and the surrounding countryside.
