Description
Description
A landmark contemporary residence extending to approximately 8,500 sq ft, Glenwood is an exceptional family home occupying a private plot of just under one acre in one of Hale's most sought-after locations. Defined by its striking architectural design, outstanding leisure facilities and highly energy-efficient construction, the property offers a rare combination of scale, luxury and practicality.
The accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to maximise natural light and create a strong connection with the surrounding gardens. Expansive open-plan living spaces form the heart of the home, providing an ideal environment for both family life and entertaining, while large areas of glazing frame garden views and enhance the sense of volume throughout.
The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive, with five generously proportioned suites, each benefiting from its own private facilities and offering excellent levels of comfort, privacy and flexibility for family members and guests.
A particular highlight is the extensive lower ground floor leisure suite, which provides a superb lifestyle offering rarely found in residential homes. Comprising an indoor swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, gymnasium and bar, this exceptional space is designed for year-round enjoyment and entertaining. Direct access to the gardens further reinforces the seamless relationship between the indoor and outdoor living environments.
The landscaped grounds extend to just under an acre and have been carefully designed to cater for all aspects of modern family living. Rolling lawns, a children's play area, productive vegetable garden and an impressive entertaining terrace with outdoor kitchen combine to create a setting that is both functional and visually appealing. To the front, a gated driveway provides secure parking for numerous vehicles alongside a double garage.
Combining contemporary architectural excellence with low-maintenance, energy-efficient living, Glenwood represents a compelling opportunity to acquire one of Hale's most significant modern homes.
Glenwood has been designed around modern living, placing equal emphasis on relaxation, wellness and entertaining. The extensive leisure suite, generous open-plan reception spaces and beautifully landscaped gardens create a home that is as well suited to family life as it is to hosting on a larger scale. Whether enjoying the privacy of the indoor spa facilities, entertaining on the terrace or walking into Hale for dinner, the property offers a lifestyle that is both luxurious and effortlessly convenient.
