GROUND FLOOR

17 Manor Fields Drive boasts a private driveway with ample off-street parking leading to a stunning home that has been carefully crafted with exceptional attention to detail. Upon entering, you are immediately struck by the meticulous care applied by the current owners. The entrance hallway, which benefits from an abundance of natural light during the day, is elegantly illuminated in the evenings by a contemporary chandelier that is perfectly situated at the central point of the staircase.

On the left-hand side of the entrance hallway is a spacious family sitting room that is further enhanced by a cast iron log-burning stove. The room culminates with bi-fold doors that open up to reveal the outdoor space and the luxurious pergola, perfect for entertaining guests.

To the right of the entrance hallway lies a beautiful snug that also leads out to the exquisite outdoor space. The owners have ingeniously united the kitchen and dining room, creating perfect harmony. The open-plan kitchen boasts modern tiled flooring, mood lighting, and a centre island with an engraved drainage board. Equipped with a SMEG gas oven, integrated fridge freezer, in-island dishwasher, and wine cooler, this functional room is both practical and stylish. A pantry with a sink and basin, as well as ample storage space, is conveniently located between the kitchen and dining room. Opposite the kitchen, a large dining room comfortably seats 12 people with wooden flooring and a cast iron radiator for added warmth and comfort.

Additionally, a large utility room is located off the kitchen, featuring bespoke black overhead cupboards and a seating area with storage below for shoes with hooks above for coats and bags. The room also benefits from a butler sink between the washing machine and dryer. The utility room provides access to the outdoor space at one end, while the other end features a bright and airy W/C.

SELLER INSIGHT

When we first bought this house, we were looking for a project,” say the current owners of 17 Manor Fields. “We wanted something we could add to and improve, and this house hadn’t been updated since it was built 20 years ago, so had plenty of potential. Thus began a full refurbishment and development program, with every part of the house upgraded, improved, and in some cases taken back to brick. For example, we opened up the ground floor layout to create a wonderfully light and airy open plan kitchen, dining, and living space, perfect for everyday family life and entertaining alike.”

“The house was designed with entertainment in mind,” the owners continue, “with the large indoor social spaces leading straight outside onto an undercover area off the lounge, and in turn to the pool. On a hot summer’s day, we open the doors wide to enjoy the whole space together. We have a tiki bar, an outdoor table tennis table, and a play area at the bottom of the garden, to ensure fun and games for all ages. Inside, the games room is a great place to relax at the end of a long day, play pool, or have a glass of wine with friends. We have a Sonos music system and smart party lighting throughout the house, so we can simply ask Alexa to set the mood, and the house comes alive!”

“Day to day, the house is incredibly functional as a family home, with a huge utility room and pantry; large bedrooms so that all of our four children have their own space, and enough bathrooms to ensure getting ready for school in the mornings is as easy as possible. Indeed, we have everything set up for an easy life, from the Robot lawn mower to the gym at the bottom of the garden.”

The location of the property is very convenient, too. “The location is brilliant,” say the owners, “with everything we need right on our doorstep. We frequent the town’s bakeries and butcheries for barbecue supplies on sunny Saturday mornings, and the children attend the local schools. We are tucked away from the main street so it is really quiet here, but within 5 minutes in either direction, we can be in the town centre, or at the golf course and out to the cycle trails beyond, respectively.”*
