In a fabulous location at the edge of a sought-after village, enjoying wonderful views to the front over rolling downland on the Surrey/Kent borders, an unusual and highly prized contemporary home of quality, designed and constructed in 2024 to an exacting standard. With energy efficiency in mind, as well as with a desire to create an architecturally designed house for the twenty-first century, the house combines the technologies expected of such a property with sophisticatedly stylish interiors. Constructed to code for sustainable housing, exteriors are of dark brick and coloured render with floor to ceiling, powder coated aluminium windows, sliding and bi-fold doors – all of which perfectly frame the views - and concrete floors on every level.

Other features include Cat 6 wiring, mechanical venting in the bath/showrooms, kitchen/living room and laundry, feature LED lighting in the kitchen, drawing room and all walk-in wardrobes, a bespoke oak ‘floating’ staircase with glazed balustrading and porcelain wood effect tiling to the reception areas. Taking full advantage of its position and the views, there are glazed balconies off the drawing room, living/kitchen room and the bedrooms, whilst the gradient of the plot allows for the accommodation to be laid out over two floors together with the oversized integral garage. Extending to 3,464 square feet together with 794 square feet of garaging, the first accommodation level is approached by a handsome, oversized, steel front door with thumb print entry, opening to a wide reception hall and access to four large bedrooms each with fitted wardrobes, supported by three bath/shower rooms. The principal suite is fitted with ceiling speakers and is an expansive space enjoying the fine prospect as well as access to a private balcony, a fully fitted walk-in wardrobe and a spacious en-suite bathroom with separate shower. A second suite also has a walk-in wardrobe, whilst the two further bedrooms each have fitted wardrobes and the use of the family shower room. Usefully situated on this floor, is the fitted laundry room. The uppermost floor hosts the reception areas, located at the top of the house as the views are even more extraordinary. The drawing room has a dual aspect with bi-folding doors at both ends – one set opening to the rear terracing with the second, on to the balcony – and a bespoke unit housing a 78-inch Samsung television with supporting speakers to the ceiling. The living/dining room/kitchen is a fabulous area with wall-to-wall, floor to ceiling glazing on three sides including two sets of bi-folding doors to the rear terrace and front balcony. The kitchen cabinetry has been designed by the renowned German company, Kutchenhaus, in a contemporary, matt black finish with Vanilla Noir Quartz work surfaces and integrated appliances including a temperature-controlled wine fridge for white and red wine, induction hob by Elica, Quooker hot water tap and Siemens ovens. Two further reception rooms, storage and the guest cloakroom complete the layout.
