Porcelanosa open-plan kitchen/diner/orangery with bi-fold doors and ceiling lantern
A rare, high-spec detached house on one of Shoal Hill’s most sought-after roads, this four-bedroom home combines contemporary design with generous family living. The heart of the property is a Porcelanosa-fitted open-plan kitchen/diner/orangery with two sets of bi-fold doors, ceiling lantern and under-floor heating, creating seamless indoor–outdoor entertaining that opens onto a south-facing landscaped garden with two patios.
Upstairs the principal suite feels like a private wing: en-suite shower room, walk-in wardrobe and a balcony with internal stairs to a bright second-floor office. Three further good-sized bedrooms and a Porcelanosa family bathroom sit off a spacious landing. Additional reception spaces include a large lounge with log burner and a versatile snug, plus a convenient utility and guest WC.
Externally the property offers extensive parking — large block-paved driveway, side driveway, double gates and a tandem garage — and a large, private rear garden with workshop/shed and summerhouse. Practical updates include double glazing (installed post-2002), cavity-filled walls, mains gas central heating and solar-timed exterior lighting.
Important points to note: the house is a multi-storey layout with internal stairs to the office and balcony, which may not suit limited mobility. The property was constructed in the 1930s–1940s though comprehensively renovated; ongoing maintenance for an older structural shell should be expected. Local schools are mixed in Ofsted outcomes, and the area demographic trends toward older suburban residents, which may influence community amenities and buyer expectations.
