Howe House is a contemporary styled mid-century detached residence just off a private road in this convenient location. This striking house extends to approximately 2,308 sq ft and is approached behind a white picket fence and brick path. Howe House was designed by Ivor Richards, an acclaimed architect, writer, and teacher, who forged his career through the design of several distinguished buildings in Cambridgeshire, including West Road Concert Hall. Having studied under Cedric Price, Richards went on to work closely with Sir Leslie Martin, most notably on the design of Lisbon's Centre of Modern Art which won the RIBA trustees' medal in 1992.

The teak front door opens up into an exceptional vaulted space which is a key characteristic expressed throughout the whole property. To the right is a large reception room with high ceilings and a triple aspect over the rear, side and front gardens. To the far corner is a study which could also be used as an occasional bedroom. To the right of the front door is an open plan dining area and beyond a half wall is the kitchen/breakfast room with a modern kitchen with floor and wall mounted units, Gaggenau oven, Neff induction hob and extractor fan and stainless steel work surfaces. The property has an abundance of natural light which is provided by a wall of three windows on each side of the entrance door. To the rear of the property there is a large bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a further reception room/bedroom and a ground floor shower room with attractive white sanitaryware white marble tiles and stainless steel fittings.

A wood and glass staircase leads upstairs to further bedrooms and a ‘minstrels gallery' landing with semi-pitched ceiling. The main bedroom is dual aspect with views over the rear garden and the two further bedrooms (one currently used as a study) and a dark marble tiled shower room complete this floor.

Outside, the house is surrounded by its gardens which wrap around the house and are laid mainly to lawn with deep beds with perennial shrubs and bushes. To the right hand side of the driveway there is a further garden with a small copse and lawned area with various spaces for sitting out. To the rear of the house there is a patio to the left and a further terrace on the right. The garage is approached through a link vestibule which is tiled with parking outside for two cars directly outside the garage and two further parking spaces which are shared with the neighbours. The garage has an up and over garage door and could easily accommodate a couple of cars but is currently used to provide ample storage.
