Additional detail and background:

It is with pleasure to showcase this stunning ready-to-move-in semi-detached property situated in a very safe, affluent and highly sought-after neighbourhood surrounded by amenities and excellent transport links. The property has been fully renovated from the ground up to the exacting standards of its owner and the attention to detail is uncompromising; it is clear no expense was spared by the owner. The property exhibits ultra high-end features everywhere you look. Every finish, every sightline, every material has been considered and chosen with thought and precision, with 'future-proofing' always at the heart of every decision. The best part, as modern and high end as the property already appears, the owner has still allowed enough flexibility for a future buyer to add their stamp to create that perfect home. The property would suit any buyer looking to indulge in luxury high-end living but would still prefer a simple and easy to work with design and floorplan that affords flexibility to make enhancements with minimum fuss or expense. This is one of those properties where each room is in a squared shape with no awkward spots, and therefore every space can be utilised effectively. It is also a property where the use of neutral colours gives you flexibility to add more rather than be stuck with a specific decor that may not completely match your taste.

From the outside, you will immediately notice brand new windows and bright rendered walls, with ambient lighting, a modern canopy and a stunning aluminium front door with sidelights that has 'premium' written all over it. Everything from the outside gives the impression of a neat and tidy home with no signs of any cables or wires, thereby highlighting the owner's attention to detail and obvious 'ocd'. The driveway has space for two vehicles but has been left largely untouched to give the future buyer flexibility to customise it to their desired maintenance levels and precise vehicle sizes. That said, the current owner has thoughtfully installed an EV charger and passed all spare underground electrical wiring to the driveway, ready for future use. Should the future buyer desire additional lighting or an electric gate, the spare cables can be retrieved from the ground for easy connection without requiring an electrican, thereby saving thousands whilst still keeping wires and cables out of sight.

As soon as you walk inside, your eye immediately draws towards the large and truly stunning Spanish porcelain gloss floor tiles, which gives character and blends in beautifully with the equally beautiful black internal glass doors, the black glass balustrade and the modern two tone stair runner with the ambient lighting along the staircase.

There is full underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, along with modern radiators in some rooms which may be used if desired or as a helpful back up, though not strictly necessary. Both the underfloor heating and central heating system can be controlled anywhere in the world by from an App, along with the intruder alarms and CCTV cameras.

All the walls are finished in bright white paint with lovely off-white downlight/spotlight bezels in the ceiling, which makes the property feel more open and can enable a future buyer to properly imagine other colours they could use to paint the walls if this is of interest to them in the future. The downlights/spotlights also remain customisable and bezels can be changed to any colour, and the the bulbs can also be changed to the temperature required.

There is a home study/office with fitted desks and shelves, and a lovely little skylight above your chair to bring natural light to aid focus and concentration when working. And, when it is time for a quick break from the desk, you can step into the gym room behind you to work on your fitness whilst playing music from the bluetooth ceiling speakers or catching up on a Netflix series on the wall mounted TV. This is one of 5 bedrooms currently being used as a gym but it is fully serviced with sockets and heating to operate as a bedroom if the future owners require more space to support an extended family. Alternatively, the room could be used as a separate laundry or shower room thanks to the spare hot/cold water pipes and waste pipes located directly beneath the floorboards which can be retrieved at any time. The current owners were not kidding when they said they built this property with 'future proofing' in mind and have really thought about the design and floorplan to make the property suit just about any situation or need!

There is a large living room with a stunning media wall with a cinema-size smart TV, sound system, ambient lighting, fireplace and chandelier for those cosey movie nights with the family. There is also clever storage cupboards underneath the stairs, along with a guest toilet/WC that is finished in luxury matt concrete tiles with a modern integrated wall hung toilet and vanity unit.

The best has been saved to last and that is simply the beautiful large open plan kitchen-diner, complete with some of the widest bifold doors and largest skylights ever seen, which bring in enormous light into the property whilst giving a pleasant view of the garden and Gladstone Park. The kitchen features premium concrete effect German units and it is made complete with an island and the beauty of a Calcutta effect quartz waterfall worktop to give the overall kitchen the praise it really deserves. The kitchen features a range of high end Elica, Siemens and AEG appliances. It is fully serviced with an electric induction hob with built in extractor, tall fridge-freezer, washing machine and dryer, dishwasher, microwave, wine cooler, two ovens, ice machine and a 4 in 1 boiling hot water tap, perfect for serving instant coffee with no wait time. Families can truly indulge and entertain guests in what is a beautifully imagined space that you cannot help but show off. For those special occasions, extended families can gather around the large Italian concrete effect dining table, and there is even another media wall in the corner in case the children prefer to watch TV whilst eating their dinner. The kitchen also features multiple bluetooth ceiling speakers, allowing enough sound to flow into the garden for those summer BBQs and guest parties.

The garden is of a medium to large size and perfect for children who are keen to host their friends for those important play dates and birthday parties. Again, the current owner has left the garden largely untouched to enable the future buyer to customise it to their desired maintenance levels and family needs. The current owner has thoughtfully passed all spare electrical wiring to the garden which can be retrieved at any time for immediate use. Whether the kids desire a fish pond, fountain, swimming pool, integrated BBQ or new lighting effects, the wires are ready for use and can be operated by a switch in the kitchen. There is no additional wiring required, thereby guaranteeing a cable-tidy home at all times whilst avoiding electrican costs.

The upstairs greets you with a beautiful crystal chandelier that you cannot take your eyes of! The current owner has opted for a luxury deep pile saxony carpet in light grey throughout the hallway and bedrooms, and the carpet is exceptionally thick to keep your feet warm and makes the rooms feel cosey but also to ensure it is ideal for small children. There is a handy storage cupboard which houses an upgraded Valiant combi boiler with 7 years of warranty remaining on it. All bedrooms are of a large size, with 3 rooms currently retaining king size beds, and 1 bedroom using a single bed. All bedrooms feature premium beds and mattresses with luxury velvet finishes. The master bedroom in particular features a floor to ceiling headboard for that grand appeal, while the other bedrooms use silver borders or beaded effects for similar appeal. All bedrooms also have central heating with modern radiators which can be controlled by App anywhere in the world. All bedrooms also have media wall sockets with TV points to hang televisions with no additional cabling required to keep rooms cable-tidy. All bedrooms also have two-way bedside light switching, so you never need to leave your bed to turn on/off the light, perfect for the elderly. The ensuite bedroom in particular features a large remote control operated Velux window, bringing in lots of natural light and serves as a great feature for a guest room which is how present owner currently utilises the room. Guests can wake up from their comfortable king size bed and look directly above at the sky.

There is a stunning family bathroom with gloss grey Italian tiles and is made complete with an integrated thermostatic shower with fantastic water pressure, an integrated wall hung toilet, vanity unit and an electric towel rail. The bathroom utilises the polished chrome accents to give it that shine and sparkle. Similarly, the shower in the ensuite bedroom retains the features of the main family bathroom but instead utilises large marble effect Italian tiles with black accents which is exceptionally beautiful. Both the bathroom and ensuite shower room are made complete with underfloor heating and ambient lighting for those cosey evenings, along with illuminated mirrors with shaver ports and Bluetooth ceiling speakers to listen to music.

If the future owners require more space, the loft already offers a substantially large space that can be quickly converted from within without the need to build a costly loft dormer and without altering the roof. Again, the current owner has thoughtfully passed spare electrical wiring and water pipes to the loft which can be retrieved to build a new bedroom or shower room, thereby saving tens of thousands in electrican and plumbing costs. The current owner has also passed spare Ethernet and TV point cables to the loft ready for use.

All electrical wiring, plumbing and insulation throughout the property has been upgraded to the latest standards and has passed building control inspection with certificates available. The property has a BT telephone line and has separate super fast fibre optic broadband supplied by Community Fibre.

This property is conveniently located just behind Gladstone park, which spans an incredible 86 acres, featuring meadows, tree-lined avenues, a walled garden, a duck pond, sports pitches, tennis courts, cafes, an outdoor gym and a children's playgrounds.
