Smiths Property Experts are favoured with the instruction to market this beautifully presented detached family home. Tucked away behind a private gated driveway off Woodhouse Road, Maple House occupies the largest plot within an exclusive development of just three individually built Pearson homes.

Offered with no upward chain, this exceptional property combines the efficiency of a modern build with the character, craftsmanship and attention to detail of a much older home. Set within beautifully established mature gardens, this wonderful home enjoys a private and secluded position. With accommodation approaching approximately 2,600 square feet, including four double bedrooms, three of which have en suites, ample living space and a double garage.

A spacious and naturally light entrance hall sets the tone, with beautiful, reclaimed stone flooring, zonal underfloor heating extending throughout the ground floor, and full-height glazing flooding the space with natural light. Double doors lead into the impressive main sitting room featuring exposed beams, a brick fireplace with a hearth and matching side pedestal and a remote-controlled wood burner effect gas cast iron fire. Full-height doors open directly onto the garden.

At the hub of the home is the thoughtfully designed L-shaped ‘living’ kitchen. The handmade solid-wood kitchen is complemented by granite worktops, a range cooker and double Belfast sink with Grohe mixer tap, an integrated dishwasher and space for fridge-freezer. A wood-burning stove provides a supplementary heat source, while double doors open directly onto the patio.

Further ground-floor accommodation includes a separate utility room with a Belfast sink, space and plumbing for appliances. A dedicated study with a bespoke built-in dresser to provide an excellent home-working environment, and a living room.

Upstairs, a spacious landing gives way to four generously proportioned double bedrooms, all of which benefit from built-in wardrobe space; three have refitted en suites and two of the three have underfloor heating. The principal bedroom occupies the rear of the house and has a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden, as well as a beautifully appointed en suite shower room. To complete the first floor is a luxurious family bathroom featuring a freestanding antique cast-iron bath.

Outside, the property is approached via a blocked paved drive and through a gate onto a private gravel driveway. Providing generous parking with an EV charger, and access to a double garage which houses the recently replaced central heating boiler. The mature gardens are undoubtedly one of Maple House’s defining features. Beautifully planted and thoughtfully arranged, they offer a high degree of privacy and provide a series of areas in which to relax, entertain and enjoy the surroundings. A patio adjoins the kitchen, which wraps around towards the sitting room, providing ample space for alfresco dining; an ornamental pond has its own stream, and there is a further raised seating area.

To add a further dimension, there is a superb timber-built home office, complete with power, heating and bi-fold doors, providing a dedicated workspace away from the main house.
