A substantial and beautifully imagined modern house with four bedrooms and stunning countryside views, under a mile from Bourne End railway station.
Built in 2012, Vitro House is a contemporary masterpiece, designed by John Pardey Architects and located on a quiet, private lane on the western edge of Bourne End. The house is ideally situated for those seeking a rural lifestyle while being well-connected to amenities, with the station being under a mile from the house providing a link to London Paddington. The house is fabulously modern, with striking design and an upside down' layout, providing the main living space on the first floor with truly stunning views over the surrounding countryside. Internally, as well as outside, the house is beautifully presented to a very high standard, offering neutral interiors, slick design and premium features including zoned underfloor heating throughout and CCTV. Each room enjoys a different, beautiful view out of magnificent floor to ceiling windows providing excellent natural light to the home. Each of the windows is fitted with seamless electronically operated blinds.
The layout is versatile and offers a adaptable flow, with reception rooms and bedrooms over both floors. The ground floor comprises an inviting entrance hall with glass feature staircase, a sitting room, fitted boot room with excellent storage and a separate utility room, three good-size double bedrooms all of which are en suite with fitted wardrobes, and a study/snug. There is also a further shower room and WC.
The first-floor space is dominated by the main living area, which is open plan and includes a modern kitchen with Gaggenau appliances, a central island and dining area. The sitting area is situated on the south side of the house, enjoying fabulous views and abundance of natural light. At the far end of the home there is the principal suite, which has a walk-in wardrobe and a magnificent en suite bathroom with bath and shower. A large terrace and adjoining balcony wraps around the south and west sides of the house, accessible by sliding glazed doors, providing a fabulous space for entertaining and enjoying the views.
The gated entrance to the front opens to a gravel driveway with ample private parking, including a covered under croft section below the house. The gravelled driveway envelops the house providing access all around the property and a secluded seating area adjoining the sitting room which is ideal for entertaining. The gardens benefit from rainwater harvesting and an irrigation system with the front and rear lawned and enclosed by mature trees and hedging, with raised beds and attractive borders stocked with a variety of shrubs, herbs and bedding plants.
