Description

Heywoods Estate Agents proudly bring to the market Foxgate House, an exceptional five bedroom detached residence occupying a discreet position just off Watering Close in the highly regarded village of Baldwins Gate. Individually designed and constructed to an exacting specification, this remarkable bespoke home combines striking architecture, generous proportions and beautifully considered interiors, complemented by a double garage, ample driveway parking and an attractive open outlook to the rear.
The property makes an immediate impression with its handsome brick elevations, stone detailing and contemporary Spitfire entrance door. This opens into a magnificent double-height reception hall, where extensive glazing floods the space with natural light and creates a dramatic introduction to the accommodation. Elegant tiled flooring, refined joinery, statement lighting and carefully integrated technology establish the exceptional standard found throughout the home.
At the heart of Foxgate House is an outstanding open-plan kitchen, dining and living space extending across the full width of the rear of the property. Designed for both everyday family life and entertaining on a grand scale, this impressive room is enhanced by three sets of bi-folding doors, drawing in an abundance of natural light and opening directly onto the terrace and garden. This exceptional arrangement makes the most of the attractive rear outlook, creating a seamless connection between the interior, garden and surrounding landscape.
The sophisticated German Pronorm kitchen features sleek handleless cabinetry, thirty-millimetre limestone worktops and a substantial central island with informal seating. A comprehensive range of integrated Neff appliances is complemented by a Quooker tap, while contemporary pendant lighting and carefully selected finishes complete this striking culinary setting.
The dining and living areas flow effortlessly from the kitchen, providing defined yet connected spaces for relaxing and entertaining. The lounge is arranged around an exposed-brick fireplace with a log-burning stove, introducing warmth and character to the contemporary interior. Electric blinds provide convenience and privacy throughout the principal living area, while integrated ceiling speakers are fitted within both the kitchen and lounge.
A separate cinema room provides a dedicated retreat for film evenings and relaxation, complete with fitted blinds and atmospheric recessed lighting. The ground-floor accommodation is further enhanced by a practical utility room and a beautifully appointed cloakroom featuring a Pelipal vanity unit and sensor-activated lighting. Internal access leads directly into the substantial double garage.
A feature staircase rises to an impressive galleried landing overlooking the entrance hall below. The principal bedroom forms a luxurious private suite of excellent proportions, featuring fitted drawers, a walk-in wardrobe and a stylish en-suite shower room appointed with high-quality Lauren fittings. Bedroom two also benefits from its own en-suite facilities and built-in wardrobes, while bedroom four is similarly fitted with built-in storage. Fitted blinds are provided throughout all five bedrooms, ensuring a cohesive and carefully considered finish.
The main family bathroom has been designed with a strong emphasis on quality and relaxation, featuring a Pelipal vanity unit and a statement Victoria + Albert bath alongside contemporary sanitaryware and elegant tiling. Sensor activated lighting is fitted within the family bathroom and en-suite facilities, offering an additional level of convenience and practicality. The remaining bedrooms are all generously proportioned and provide excellent flexibility for family members, guests or home working.
Externally, Foxgate House is approached across a generous driveway leading to the double garage and an attractive paved entrance. To the rear is a broad lawned garden with an extensive paved terrace, ideally positioned beyond the three sets of bi-folding doors for outdoor dining and entertaining. The garden enjoys a particularly appealing open aspect towards neighbouring countryside, creating a wonderful sense of space, privacy and connection with the surrounding landscape.
Foxgate House represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a truly individual family home in one of the area’s most desirable village locations. Combining bespoke design, exceptional craftsmanship, premium fittings and impressive living accommodation, this superb residence offers a level of quality and distinction that must be experienced in person.
