LAUNCH DAY SATURDAY 28TH MARCH (10AM - 12PM) Guide Price £900,000 - £950,000 - CHAIN FREE A truly outstanding example of a home transformed with vision, style and quality, this magnificent detached residence in the heart of popular Wigmore has evolved from its original bungalow footprint into a substantial contemporary family home offering close to 3000 sq ft of beautifully designed accommodation, plus garage and outbuilding space. Thoughtfully reimagined and finished to an exceptional standard throughout, this is a home where the current owners have clearly spared no expense, creating a property that delivers on luxury, practicality and lifestyle in equal measure. From the moment you arrive, the scale and presence of the property are immediately apparent. A generous driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles, while the 24ft integral garage adds another valuable layer of practicality. Step inside and the transformation becomes even more impressive. A spacious entrance hallway creates a superb first impression, setting the tone for the rest of the home with its sense of light, space and quality. From here, the accommodation unfolds beautifully, with high ceilings and a layout that has been designed to offer both impact and flexibility. At the centre of the home is the spectacular 32ft open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, a remarkable lifestyle space designed for modern family living and entertaining on every scale. This is a room that immediately draws you in, with its expansive proportions, sleek finish and seamless connection to the garden. A striking central island creates a natural focal point, ideal for casual dining, morning breakfasts, hosting friends or simply gathering as a family at the end of the day. The room is filled with natural light, enhanced by the large glazed openings, bi-fold doors and the perfectly placed kitchen window overlooking the rear garden, keeping the outside in view and everyday family life connected to the garden beyond. Just as importantly, the home has been designed with practicality in mind. The separate utility room is a major feature and an essential addition for busy households, helping keep the main living area streamlined and clutter free while offering dedicated laundry and storage space away from the heart of the home. It is exactly the kind of detail that elevates a house from impressive to genuinely functional for day-to-day family life. What makes this home especially compelling is the sheer versatility of the accommodation. In addition to the expansive open-plan living space, there are two further reception rooms on the ground floor, allowing buyers to tailor the home around their own needs. These could work beautifully as a formal lounge, snug, playroom, cinema room, additional bedroom space or home office, depending on lifestyle. This flexibility is enhanced further by the ground floor shower room, which opens up excellent possibilities for multigenerational living, guest accommodation, or a teenager or young adult wanting greater independence with the option of ground floor living. For families needing adaptable space both now and in the future, this house offers an exceptional amount of choice, including the potential for up to six bedrooms if required. Upstairs, the sense of scale continues. A large landing adds to the feeling of openness and quality, while the bedroom accommodation has been arranged to provide both comfort and flexibility. The rooms are well proportioned and the bathroom facilities have been finished in a stylish contemporary manner, giving the upper floor the same turnkey feel that defines the rest of the home. Every detail contributes to a house that feels calm, modern and ready to enjoy without the need for further work. Outside, the property continues to deliver. The rear garden is a real asset, enjoying a private, non-overlooked position with a favourable westerly aspect, making it the perfect setting for afternoon and evening sun. This creates a wonderful backdrop for family life, summer dining and relaxed entertaining, while also offering a strong sense of privacy that is increasingly difficult to find. The garden feels like a genuine extension of the home, particularly with the open-plan living area flowing so naturally out towards it. Adding yet another dimension to the lifestyle on offer is the detached outbuilding, complete with bi-fold doors, which makes it far more than simple ancillary space. This is a highly versatile addition that could work brilliantly as a gym, home office, studio, treatment room, business space, games room or creative retreat, depending on the next owner’s needs. In a market where buyers increasingly want their home to support work, wellness and leisure as well as everyday family life, this is a particularly valuable feature. The location on Wigmore Road, ME8 0LZ only strengthens the property’s appeal. Wigmore remains one of the area’s most consistently popular residential settings, particularly with families, thanks to its balance of convenience, community feel and access to amenities. There is a good range of local shops nearby for everyday needs, while Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre is within easy reach for wider retail, dining and leisure options. The area is also well regarded for schooling, with a strong choice of local primary and secondary schools nearby, making it especially attractive for family buyers. Excellent access to the A2 and M2 also supports commuting and wider travel, while nearby green spaces and local parks add further lifestyle appeal. This is not simply a large home. It is a carefully considered, high-quality family residence that has been designed to adapt, impress and perform at every stage of life. With its near 3000 sq ft footprint, showstopping open-plan living, utility room, ground floor shower room, flexible reception space, potential for six bedrooms, integral garage, generous driveway, private west-facing garden and beautifully appointed outbuilding, it offers a level of versatility and finish that is rarely found. A rare opportunity to acquire one of Wigmore’s most striking and comprehensively transformed contemporary family homes.
