An architect-designed, six-bedroom contemporary home arranged over three floors, 55 Cortworth Road offers generous family living with high-spec modern finishes. The house centres on a striking double-height entrance and a large open-plan dining kitchen with an oversized island and floor-to-ceiling glazing that frames the south‑west garden. The master suite includes a private balcony; additional balconies and a covered patio extend living outdoors. Energy-conscious features include 16 solar panels and a GIVEnergy storage battery, plus provision for EV charging in the integral double garage.
Accommodation is flexible for multi‑generational use, with two bedrooms and a family bathroom on the ground floor and a gym, shower room and utility on the lower ground level. Reception spaces are bright and well-proportioned and the plot includes a sizeable lawn, densely planted borders, a natural stream and a summerhouse — a private, tranquil garden with sunny south‑west aspect.
The property has strong energy credentials but also practical considerations. Built in the late 1970s/early 1980s, the cavity walls are recorded as partially insulated and the install dates for double glazing are not specified; further insulation or window replacement may be desirable long-term to maximise thermal efficiency. Council tax is high (Band F). Buyers should note the home is substantial in scale (approximately 4,529 sq ft) and will incur corresponding running and maintenance costs.
This house will suit families seeking generous, contemporary spaces in a highly regarded S11 location with excellent local schools and nearby green spaces. It also appeals to buyers prioritising low-carbon features and outdoor entertaining, while those seeking a fully new-build specification should factor potential retrofit or ongoing maintenance into their plans.
