24 BOOTHWOOD STILE

Boothwood Stile, Holcombe Brook

Standing on the site of a nineteenth century textiles works, Boothwood Stile is one of an exclusive development of luxury homes which are beautifully situated to offer a close connection to nature, whilst holding onto the conveniences of modern living.

Following the gently winding, peaceful road that leads to number 24, pull onto the spacious driveway with room for three cars, to be greeted by the tranquil sounds of birds in the trees and the nearby stream. Taking the paved path to the handsome, half-glazed front door, cross the threshold and exhale. You've arrived home.

A warm welcome

Stepping into the bright and airy hallway, tuck your coat and shoes into a thoughtfully positioned storage cupboard which helps maintain the serenity of the space.

A delightfully decorated WC leads off to your left. Styled with a nautical edge, the half panelled walls are painted petrol blue above and white below, reflecting natural light from the window. A wash basin with vanity unit, frameless mirror and chrome towel rail complete the room.
Return to the hallway on elegant, dark wood-effect flooring which continues throughout the ground floor.

To your left, find a convenient utility with worktop space, sink and storage cupboards where the washer, dryer and boiler are housed. A side entrance to the home is found here, making it the perfect place for cleaning muddy paws and boots after a weekend walk in the nearby countryside.

Fabulous family space

As you move across the hallway, passing a door to the kitchen and staircase to the first floor, the fantastic flow of this home truly becomes clear.

An eclectic feature wall of texture and colour greets you as you step onto the luxurious, light grey carpet of the large, double aspect family sitting room. The opportunity to add a wood-burning stove or real fire to this room exists through the presence of a chimney which is not currently in use. A window to your right gives views to the front of the home while French doors on the wall opposite lead out to the patio and rear garden.

Drawn toward the French doors, find a door to your left which connects the living room to the hub of the home - the stylish and spacious kitchen-diner.

Contemporary meets comfort

Catch your breath as you step into a beautifully bright and contemporary family space. Light pours in from dawn until dusk through three voluminous skylights and bi-fold doors which lead out to the garden. Open these on summer days, allowing in a gentle breeze and birdsong, seamlessly connecting indoors and out.

Decorated in neutral tones which contrast wonderfully with the dark wood effect flooring, this room comfortably holds a family dining table for six with ample opportunity to extend for special events and when entertaining.

A wall-mounted television can be viewed from comfortable seating resting on the wall opposite. Next to the television, a textured, black wall panel creates a visual feature between the dining and kitchen areas.

Moving into the kitchen, the sleek and stylish feel continues with handle-less drawers and units with a light grey Matt finish. High quality, integrated Siemens appliances include a double oven and induction hob with extractor fan above. A Franke mixer tap and sink in charcoal grey rest underneath the window. Under-cabinet lighting adds a thoughtful and practical touch.
Taking the second door out of this fabulous space, return to the hallway and ascend the carpeted staircase with white wooden balustrade to the upper floor.

Soak and sleep

Turning on the stairs and reaching the top, peek right into a neat single room. Neutrally decorated to maximise the light entering through the garden-view window, this room would make the perfect nursery or has the potential to be a bright and comfortable home office. The home's superfast broadband connection could be very useful here.

As you move onto the landing, notice that the calming, light grey carpet runs throughout each of the bedrooms.

Two further good sized bedrooms with fitted Hammonds wardrobes are found as you move along the landing - one with garden views and the other with views over the front of the home. Looking through the dormer window of the front bedroom, wildlife including squirrels, herons and ducks can often be spotted paying a visit to the culvert opposite.

The chic family bathroom, with tasteful tiles to walls and floor, offers a restful space to soak away your cares. The bath features a shower over for convenience. A Villeroy & Boch WC with concealed cistern sits beneath the window. The generous wash basin with its gloss-finished handleless vanity unit and demisting mirror with sensor lighting add a feeling of luxury. A towel rail provides the final, practical touch.

Relax and unwind

The master suite with its bright and elegant ensuite shower room offers the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of family life. Open the window to hear the restful rumble of the culvert and gaze out to immerse yourself in the comings and goings of the birds and animals nearby.

Helping to maintain the tranquillity of this room, bespoke high sheen fitted wardrobes from Hammonds provide ample storage to keep clothes and shoes neatly concealed.

Entering the ensuite, the walk-in shower cubicle with both rainfall and handheld showerheads gives a nod to the considerate design of this space. Echoing the family bathroom, beneath the window find a Villeroy & Boch WC with concealed cistern. Finishing the room, a stylish wash basin with handleless vanity and towel rail.

Step outside

From the family sitting room, step through the French doors into the landscaped, low maintenance garden. Arrive on a paved area with ample room for al fresco dining and family barbeques. Take in the views of the woodland behind then follow the soft, sandy coloured paving across the back of the home to the bi-fold doors which lead back into the kitchen-diner. This layout creates a wonderful flow for entertaining on summer evenings.

A low wall filled with colourful planting draws a line through the outdoor space, separating paving from play.

Pass through the low, iron gate to reach a decked area and low maintenance lawn with paths around - the ideal spot for children and pets to have fun. Pedestrian access to the garage is gained from here.

Surrounded by wooden fencing with gates to both sides of the home, the garden is a safe and secure place for children to play.
