Most impressive single storey home offering stylish accommodation.
The Gables is a highly distinctive and exceptionally stylish residence, comprehensively renovated and extended by the current owners to create a superb single-storey home. With thoughtfully designed interiors and beautifully landscaped gardens, the property is truly turnkey and represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the finest bungalows within the city.
The accommodation is arranged around a spacious reception hall, which provides access to the principal rooms. The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/living space, featuring vaulted ceilings, a striking fireplace, three sets of double doors opening onto the gardens, and a beautifully appointed kitchen. Designed around a central island with elegant stone worktops, the kitchen offers both generous preparation space and a sociable focal point. A cleverly concealed pantry provides excellent storage, complemented by an extensive range of integrated appliances, including a double oven, two dishwashers, a freestanding electric Everhot, and space for an American-style fridge freezer.
A second sitting room, with double doors to the front, offers a versatile space ideal as a television room or library. Centrally positioned within the home, a practical utility room adds to the functionality of the layout.
The four bedrooms are all well appointed, led by the impressive principal suite, extending to approximately 22 feet in length. This elegant room features a fireplace and double doors opening onto the garden, with the added benefit of a private courtyard-style seating area. The luxurious en suite includes a freestanding bath, double shower, twin basins, and a separate cloakroom, creating a spa-like environment. This adjoins a dressing room, which could alternatively serve as a fifth bedroom, enhancing the flexibility of the space and completing a truly exceptional suite.
Bedroom two has been thoughtfully designed to provide a high degree of independence, benefitting from its own en suite, a small kitchenette area, and private access in and out of the property. This arrangement is ideally suited for guest accommodation, multi-generational living, or an older child seeking a degree of autonomy. Bedroom three also includes an en suite and fitted wardrobes, while bedroom four, another well-proportioned double, is served by a family bathroom located opposite.
In total, the property extends to approximately 2,673 sq ft of beautifully presented accommodation, and internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality and design on offer.
Outside
The property is approached via a block-weave driveway, providing parking for several vehicles. The plot, extending to approximately one fifth of an acre, has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a private oasis within a city setting. Carefully curated planting, including shrubs, fruit trees, and mature borders, ensures a high degree of seclusion. A pergola and patio terrace provide the ideal setting for al fresco dining and outdoor entertaining.
A flexible outdoor studio provides a variety of potential uses such as a working from home space, gym room, hobby room or summer house.
