Grand in both proportion and presence, this detached family home is defined by soaring ceilings, exquisite period details, and a carefully considered design that balances timeless elegance with contemporary comfort.
From the moment you step within the landscaped front garden, the sense of seclusion and tranquillity is apparent. Set on a wide plot, the property’s rear garden wraps gracefully around the home, creating an expanse of greenery and outdoor space to enjoy.
At the heart of Briarfield is a beautifully appointed Tom Howley kitchen, seamlessly extending into a striking black orangery-style conservatory. Bathed in natural light, this space is set onto a raised decking area, perfect for outdoor entertaining. A well-equipped utility room and WC provide additional practicality, with side access ensuring effortless functionality.
Beyond the main house, a stunning self-contained annexe provides an exceptional extension of the home. Designed to a high specification, it features a luxurious kitchen, a sleek en-suite shower room, and bifold doors that open onto a raised patio – a perfect setting for alfresco dining and summer barbecues. The annexe also houses a versatile studio space, currently used as a gym but easily transformed into a sixth double bedroom if desired.
The reception rooms are each a testament to the home’s grandeur. The formal living room is a space of classic refinement, featuring a contemporary modern fireplace and a large bay window that frames breathtaking garden views.
A second reception room, with its rich deep tones, intricate panelling, and original fireplace, serves as a stylish games room. Here, a large bay window looks out over the side garden, where a charming water fountain illuminates at dusk, creating an enchanting ambiance.
A third reception room, flooded with sunlight, boasts an ornate fireplace and elegant curved glass doors that lead onto a stone patio, with steps cascading down to the lawn. Throughout the home, exquisite ceiling roses further enhance its period charm.
Upstairs, Briarfield offers five generously proportioned double bedrooms, each echoing the home’s sense of space and sophistication. The principal suite enjoys a large bay window with verdant views, complemented by a beautifully appointed adjoining bathroom. Each of the bathrooms across the home has been individually designed, blending luxury finishes with timeless elegance.
