An exceptional, architect-designed contemporary family home set within circa 1 acre in the heart of Quarndon. Completed in 2011, the property offers nearly 9,852 sq ft across three storeys with six bedrooms, six bathrooms and a coherent layout for large-family living and entertaining. The house combines generous reception spaces with a bespoke kitchen, cinema and games rooms — ideal for daily family life and weekend hosting.
The ground floor is arranged around a dramatic double-height entrance and floating staircase, with expansive glazing framing views to the heated outdoor swimming pool and landscaped gardens. The kitchen is built for serious family use and entertaining, fitted with high-end appliances and a curved island; adjacent living spaces and dining room comfortably accommodate large family gatherings. The lower-ground cinema and games areas, complete with bar and wine store, create a dedicated leisure wing separate from main family zones.
Sleeping accommodation is spread across the first and second floors. Four double bedrooms and two bathrooms sit on the first floor with a large lounge and extensive balcony overlooking the garden. The principal suite occupies the second floor, with private balcony, two-way gas fireplace, substantial ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, offering a boutique-hotel feel. The house benefits from mains gas underfloor heating, good broadband speeds and is in the Ecclesbourne School catchment.
Buyers should weigh the ongoing running and maintenance costs of a property of this scale. The large heated pool, hot tub, extensive lawns and multiple reception rooms will increase upkeep and energy use, and the property sits in Council Tax Band H (very expensive). While finished to a high standard, its size and specialist features suit family buyers seeking substantial internal space and entertaining facilities rather than buyers looking for a low-maintenance home.
