THE PROPERTY
Heatherlands is a stunning, bespoke modern home that immediately captivates with its striking architectural design. The façade seamlessly blends brick, oak, and glass, creating a sophisticated yet warm aesthetic. A standout feature is the full-height gable end window, which not only enhances the home’s contemporary appeal but also floods the interior with natural light.
Inside, the impressive entrance hall is a real focal point featuring a vaulted ceiling, galleried landing, a contemporary wood burner, and a striking floating, cantilever staircase. From here, doors open into a triple aspect sitting room with large bay window and bi-fold doors to the rear, and a truly impressive kitchen/dining area fitted with a sleek and stylish range of contemporary cupboards, high end built-in appliances, stone worksurfaces and a complementing island unit/breakfast bar. Set off the main entrance hall is a small inner hallway, which in turn links to a fifth bedroom with bay window, a study/office, utility room and a cloakroom.
Upstairs, the sense of luxury continues with a generous landing leading to four well-appointed bedrooms. The standout principal suite boasts French doors opening onto a Juliet balcony with picturesque garden views, along with a private en-suite shower room and a stylish dressing room. A second guest bedroom also benefits from an en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by an elegant family bathroom.
Constructed to a high specification, the property offers an array of cutting-edge features designed to meet the expectations of a modern homeowner.
