Description

Brackendale was completed by Walden Homes in late 2024 and presents a superb opportunity to buy a carefully designed house of over 3,000 sq ft, offering the best of modern family living, in a popular village. A legacy of a multitude of other successful projects has allowed them to put the best of their work into Brackendale, with handmade finishes evident throughout. The house is of traditional construction with solid concrete ground and first floors, handmade bricks and a handmade tile roof. The windows are in traditional painted timber, with floor to ceiling aluminium ground floor rear doors.

The traditional Douglas Fir framed porch leads into a wonderful vaulted entrance hall, with all rooms on the ground floor leading off. One of the key aspects of the house is the ability to live in an ‘open plan’ manner, whilst the internal glazed Crittall-style doors can bring about privacy for each room. The entire ground floor has Karndean herringbone flooring, a theme which cleverly runs out to the garden, with African hardwood herringbone decking.

There are plenty of features to promote throughout the house but of note are; the kitchen, which is handmade by Loxley Charterhouse, and fully integrated, including 2No. Neff slide door ovens and a 677 litre Liebherr side-by-side fridge/freezer stainless steel finish. The extra-large traditional Bath stone fireplace in the living room was handmade by stone mason Nick Curtis.

The stairs are of particular note, with oak handrail and a custom glass ‘strip’ balustrade to stairs and landing.

The first floor has a solid concrete floor, with underfloor heating, and provides some exceptional rooms, currently arranged to provide five king size bedrooms, two of which are en suite, with a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is dual aspect, with 3m high ceilings, a walk-through dressing area and en suite bathroom with Geberit and Hansgrohe fittings (fitted throughout all bath/shower rooms) on the dual washbasins, shower and WC. The guest bedroom also has an en suite shower room and an adjoining bedroom, which could be used separately or as a dressing room extension to a larger bedroom suite. There are two other bedrooms which share the family bathroom, with freestanding double-ended bath, walk-in shower, WC and twin washbasins.

A full specification of the property is available on viewings.
