This individually designed detached home occupies a generous 1.5‑acre plot in Stretton Hall, offering over 5,000 sq ft of flexible, high‑spec family living. The centrepiece is an expansive open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area with premium German Leicht cabinetry, bi-fold doors and extensive glazing that deliver strong indoor–outdoor flow to terraces, lawns and adjoining woodland. Practical features include a double garage with EV charging, driveway parking for 10+ cars, substantial plant room and generous storage throughout.
Technology and comfort are prominent: a Loxone smart‑home system controls lighting, heating, ventilation, hot water and gates, while solar panels with battery storage, underfloor heating and a HEOS multi‑room audio system reduce running costs and enhance living quality. Accommodation is arranged over multiple levels and includes six double bedrooms (five with ensuites), a master suite with walk‑in wardrobe, home cinema, gym/snug and a dedicated office — well suited to large or multi‑generational families.
Outside, the multi‑tiered wraparound garden, terraces, treehouse, greenhouse and 0.5 acres of woodland create extensive private amenity and excellent outdoor entertaining potential. Security is strong with electric gates, CCTV and alarm systems. The village setting delivers low crime, access to top local schools and a very affluent neighbourhood environment.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: broadband speeds are slow in this location, and council tax is very expensive. While the property is high specification, its size and sophisticated systems will incur higher ongoing maintenance and energy‑management oversight than a standard home. Buyers should factor these running costs and the potential need for updates to tech systems over time.
