This modern, five-bedroom home was constructed in 2022 by Allsopp Construction Ltd for Longcliffe Developments. The dwelling is in a prestigious location overlooking the meticulously manicured grounds of Beeston Fields Golf Club. The property occupies a substantial plot of land, acquired from the golf club and sold with full planning approval for an architect-designed, one-off contemporary home.
The house was built as approved, with no design changes or amendments made prior or during construction. The property offers spacious living, featuring five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a gated in-and-out entrance, and superb, mature landscaped gardens. The construction process was smooth, with the project completed on time and within budget.
Site and Construction
The site was a straight forward level, infill plot, it presented no significant challenges of note. The house is of traditional design over two floors. The large gardens are established and no significant structural or ground work was required.
The front elevation features twin gables and an integral garage. At the rear, the large kitchen, dining, and living area is topped with a flat roof, enhanced by large roof lanterns that flood the space with natural light and create an almost vaulted effect. The first floor is smaller than the ground floor and at the rear ends where the flat roof begins.
Design and Features
The exterior of the building is finished with monocouche render, complemented by a roof clad in traditional Staffordshire blue tiles. The roof features crease tile detailing to the corbels and oversailing courses that add a decorative touch to the gable ends.
The front of the property has large-format linear Marshalls block paving in black, grey, and white, each paver measuring 480mm in length. The driveway is secured by a wrought iron in-and-out gate system with video entry automation. At the rear, the property features extensive landscaped gardens and a spacious porcelain patio area.
Inside, the house is equipped with a bespoke Stephen Christopher kitchen and utility room, with three of the five bedrooms also fitted with custom Stephen Christopher furniture. The property has Villeroy & Boch sanitary ware throughout, a feature log burner in the lounge, and distinctive internal Hormann door sets.
Sustainability and Modern Living
The property is designed for modern family living, featuring an open-plan kitchen and living area with bifold doors that lead directly to the patio. Additionally, the home includes a playroom and a dedicated office, ideal for working from home.
The home is heated throughout with underfloor heating pipework, powered by a ‘Red’ system ‘Air source heat pump’.
The property is equipped with high-spec, triple-glazed Velfac windows, ensuring superior insulation throughout.
