Welcome to Avery Close, a striking five bedroom detached home, tucked away in a surprisingly convenient setting just a short distance from the City. This is a property that stands out from the crowd, blending bold design choices with a refined, contemporary finish to create a home that feels both individual and effortlessly stylish.

From the moment you step inside, the entrance hall makes a confident first impression. Flooded with natural light, it showcases bespoke wall panelling and elegant herringbone Karndean flooring, setting the tone for the design-led interiors that follow.

To the right a well-proportioned living room, with high ceilings and stylish panelling and to the left a generous playroom, study, snug or even 6th bedroom.

At the heart of the home lies an impressive open plan kitchen, dining and family space stretching across the full width of the property. Thoughtfully enhanced by the current owners, the kitchen offers additional storage and workspace, making it as practical as it is visually appealing. The two-tone shaker cabinetry in deep navy and soft grey is paired beautifully with quartz worktops, while a range of integrated Siemens appliances and a central island create the perfect setting for cooking, socialising and everyday living.

Flowing seamlessly from this space is a generous dining and social area, complete with wide, sliding, Crittall style doors opening onto the rear garden, ideal for entertaining or simply enjoying indoor outdoor living.

A separate utility room and a funky WC add further convenience.

Upstairs, three double bedrooms share use of a luxury, spa inspired family bathroom with walk in shower and freestanding bath. A further, large double bedroom features its own en suite.

The top floor offers a quiet haven, a space dedicated to the principal suite with room for a cosy relaxation area, featuring a spacious dressing area with bespoke fitted wardrobes by Howdens Joinery and a sleek en suite with walk-in shower. Several of the bedrooms benefit from air conditioning, enhancing comfort throughout the warmer months.

The home continues to impress with a number of high-quality upgrades, including statement lighting by renowned local company amos, made-to-measure curtains and blinds and an outdoor kitchen all available by separate negotiation. A home security alarm system, and distinctive designer touches such as House of Hackney wallpaper all add to the luxury feel.

Outside, the private, East facing garden has been beautifully landscaped to create a private and tranquil space. A porcelain patio provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining, complemented by well-planted borders, mature trees and a lawn ideal for families. An outdoor kitchen further elevates the entertaining potential.

The property also benefits from a versatile garage conversion, now arranged as a gym, storage area and an impressive first-floor studio flooded with natural light from multiple Velux windows – offering endless possibilities as a workspace, creative studio or guest accommodation.

To the front, a block-paved driveway provides ample parking alongside the garage.

Built just two years ago by the highly regarded Bishopstone Homes, the property still benefits from the remainder of its structural warranty and incorporates a range of energy-efficient features, including an air source heat pump, solar panels and EV charging point, combining modern living with long-term sustainability.
