Spectacular Revolution!

There has been a complete metamorphosis here! What was a classic 1970s townhouse has become a very cool avant-garde space to appeal to the most discerning! Our talented and creative owner worked with Craig South from South Architects and Paula Broderick from Paula Broderick Design to shape their ideas, resulting in a breathtaking environment inside and out.

Re-built entirely new from the ground up on an extended footprint, the home retains the advantages of single level, spread over a generous rear site. Entering from the road, a stylish, white metal, electric gate slides open on both number plate and face recognition revealing plenty of off-street parking and even room for a boat or campervan.

Unobstructed to the north, vast floor to ceiling glass allows an abundance of light, while preserving utter privacy. Details and features of this intriguing design are too numerous to list here, but rest assured there is remarkable attention to detail and quality of finish. You cannot fail to be impressed with the soaring ceiling in the living with a full length, triple glazed skylight at its pinnacle, throwing a deluge of light across this voluminous space. Sliders open the whole front to the outdoors, stacking and disappearing into the wall cavity. Oak timber flooring is inlaid with brass. Nothing has been spared in the kitchen where a huge awning window opens wide to the outside and the scullery has a stylish glass sliding door. Prime Panels glowing timber cupboard fronts, Miele appliances, both gas and induction cooking, and more shiny gold brass detailing make this much more than just somewhere to prepare meals!

Bathrooms are exquisite with brass fittings and Italian tiling, the main with an enormous round bathtub. The master bedroom opens to the terrace and has a full WIR and an ensuite that is state of the art. As well as the two sizeable bedrooms there is a dedicated office with bespoke joinery. Ducted heating is supplemented by an attractive petite wood burner in the living room which powers out the heat in winter and there is a Sonos sound system.

This is an entertainer's home with several relaxing outdoor areas including a saltwater pool with the very latest technology and an outdoor shower in hardwood and brass of course! There are spaces for dining, and seating in front of a wide outdoor fire with adjustable cooking grill and built in pizza oven, offering endless opportunities for all sorts of open-air cuisine.

This sensational home is both functional as well as very beautiful. Low maintenance, it could be an exceptional 'lock and leave', or a wonderful smaller home for those wishing to downsize without compromise.

This owner has used his talents to the utmost here, combined with the help of South Architects and Paula Broderick design as well as an award-winning Master Building company. No aspect has been compromised and no expense spared, however, the attraction of a quieter country lifestyle beckons.

Come and see if this is the property that will steal your heart.
