Description

No.6 Hampton Lane is a fine example of a contemporary Huf Haus, having been constructed in 2005 to the specific style of architecture which has become synonymous with this brand of contemporary design. The property was constructed as one of a pair, and the timber framed house has a delightful open plan design offering the ultimate in flexible modern living.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors, offering extremely light and spacious accommodation and yet occupying a very private situation. The stunning design is well renowned for excellent energy efficiency, together with a volume which is distinctive in terms of its clarity of form. There are a number of notable features including under-floor heating throughout, excellent security and fire warning systems, plus a range of external electronic blinds to the windows on all three floors. The Bulthaup kitchen is very well equipped with a range of floor based units with composite stone work surfaces, incorporating a range of Miele goods, including a gas hob, two ovens, a steam oven, a built-in coffee machine, two fridge/freezers and dishwasher. The ground floor has a light dining room area with a door leading to the garden and is open plan through to the drawing room, with a gas Swedish style cylindrical fire in the far corner. The drawing room has a balcony extending on two sides, which is accessed via this room. There is also an additional reception room which is enclosed and currently used as a study, but could be used for a number of purposes. On the lower ground floor there is a utility room and wine cellar. There are two bedrooms, one with adjoining shower, a gym and a useful store accessed from the garden.

The first floor accommodates the principal bedroom with access on to the balcony overlooking the garden, a dressing area and en suite bathroom, together with a guest bedroom and en suite shower room. There is a further spacious sitting room which could also double as a family area or be converted into a further bedroom. The bathroom and shower rooms have been fitted with stylish white suites and have tiled floors in keeping with the overall contemporary nature of the design.

Outside
The property is approached with a paved driveway providing accommodation for a number of vehicles, with a double garage with twin up and over doors located to the left of the property. Beyond the garage is an outside entertaining area which offers great privacy and is easily accessible from the kitchen. A flight of steps leads down to the main area of the garden, which has been mainly laid to lawn and is surrounded by a range of mature trees providing excellent screening from neighbouring properties. A wide terrace is adjacent to the rear of the house and is an area perfect for entertaining with its westerley aspect. There is a wall mounted car charging ‘Pod Point’ on the outside of the Utility/Plant room.
