An exquisite detached six bedroom family home in a much sought after peaceful residential enclave. Sacre Coeur is a very unique and truly exceptional property of great character and charm that rarely comes to market. It is an outstanding and distinctive family home with every desirable feature, including prime location, beautifully proportioned accommodation enjoying total privacy, and stunningly designed modern interiors that are immaculately presented throughout. Behind electric gates lies this exclusive 6-bedroom, 5 bathroom detached family home measuring approximately 2,917 sq ft (271 sq m excluding the floored attic area). Set out over 3 levels and offering a wonderful balance of living and bedroom accommodation it exceeds all expectations for modern-day family living. The property is perfectly tucked away in a highly sought after idyllic location at the end of a very quiet and mature residential cul de sac off Churchtown Road. The property occupies a secluded plot of about 0.25 acre offering a remarkable sense of space and privacy, which has been cleverly and substantially redesigned to create a family home with a true Hamptons feel and style. It is very rare to find such serene seclusion, privacy, and space in a sylvan setting so close to town. This home has been architecturally designed to the highest standard, thoughtfully blending modern comforts with timeless elegance and is a superb property for entertaining. You can host your guests in a luxurious yet relaxed atmosphere, making seamless use of both the internal and external spaces to provide the ideal environment for all social occasions. The light filled open plan layout of the home boasts high-end finishes from a modern high spec fully equipped Miele Kitchen with integrated Miele appliances and bespoke Corian worktops, to beautifully crafted designer bathrooms including Villeroy & Boch fittings and natural travertine stone tiles. All bathrooms also enjoy natural light and ventilation, which is becoming increasingly rare in modern designs. Discreetly located to the right side of the property is a stylish self-contained studio apartment with separate entrance, which is perfect for well-appointed guest accommodation, or to provide independent living for a nanny, grandparent or older child/student. Flooring includes large polished Italian tiles fitted throughout the hall, kitchen and breakfast area blending seamlessly with solid walnut floors and doors throughout the various reception areas culminating in a wonderful bespoke walnut staircase that is bathed in natural light by a beautiful feature arch window. Other premium features include underfloor heating powered by an energy-efficient geothermal heat pump, coupled with high specification double glazed windows and insulation throughout to ensure sustainably low running costs. This is reflected in an exceptionally high BER rating of B1. In addition, the house includes feature-height ceilings, tasteful light fittings throughout, together with a pressurised plumbing system, a Beam interior vacuum system, integrated sound system, Phonewatch alarm system, fibre broadband, Sky dish, contemporary gas fires, a large utility room with Miele appliances and laundry organiser, and a very substantial walk-in attic space with reinforced flooring offering a large storage area that is easily accessible and potentially convertible, if desired. Opening out through floor-to-ceiling height double doors in the breakfast room and/or family room onto a large decking area, you will discover a wonderfully large and private south-westerly orientated garden, the jewel in the crown of this unique property. Bordered by mature trees, you will truly feel a sense of being in your own private parkland, with a genuine sense of calm and tranquillity. This large rear garden enjoys all day sunshine and there are two main areas designated for al fresco dining, one on a beautifully designed Indian sandstone patio positioned to be the sun trap of the garden and the other on the extensive deck outside the family room. There are also various sunny terraces for enjoying a well-deserved coffee break or relaxing in privacy on your sun lounger. The exterior wall and ground light fittings throughout the grounds add further aesthetic charm for those later summer evenings. The garden naturally lends itself to the needs of a growing family whether it' s practising a golf swing, tea parties in the secret garden or creating childhood memories playing hide and seek exploring the numerous other nooks and crannies. Just when you think you' ve ticked every box, this property also boasts a potential site for further extension. Such a development could potentially be facilitated without impinging directly on the garden line of the existing house and could be utilised for a variety of purposes such as a relatively substantial extension to accommodate intergenerational family needs, or a more modest structure to provide additional workspace, or a home gym. Indeed, there are other development possibilities on the site as the need may arise, all subject to planning permission.
