Seller Insight We acquired the plot four years ago and raised the existing bungalow to the ground in order to make way for a large contemporary home. Once the old building was demolished, we spent two years growing a new house out of the ground until we had exactly what we wanted – it’s now a fantastic home’, says James. The five-bedroom property with landscaped gardens has been completed to perfection and the location is ideal, both aesthetically and practically; ‘Sywell is a pretty picture- postcard village, with Ecton Lane, a leafy, well invested in and tastefully developed road, being one of the most sought-after spots. The plot backs onto protected woodland and open countryside – with Sywell Country Park beyond – yet access to towns, cities and major road networks is easy; the M1 can be reached in 10-15 minutes’, explains James. The area is well served by schools, both state and independent. Overstone Golf Resort, a mere stones-throw away, is an excellent resort with a gym. ‘The real gem of the area though is Sywell Aerodrome, it has a brilliant calendar of events and regular vintage aircraft fly-bys’, says James. ‘Everything has been done to a very high standard with great attention to detail – the new owners could move in and just enjoy the place. The garden has been professionally designed and planted with a modern country feel and features a large lawn, astro turf area, raised stone and patio areas, gravel paths, integrated sprinkler system and is easy to maintain.’ ‘The main reception room; a large open space with lots of light coming in through well-positioned windows at the front and back, and a 2-metre square glazed ceiling light. It has substantial French windows which open up to the garden at the rear, through which are lovely views. It has a modern showpiece gas fire which really adds something special to the room.’ ‘The garden is surrounded by trees and the views across woodland and farm land is just beautiful. The property is set well back from the road and feels very safe and secure.’ ‘Building the house, making it ours and having children whilst living here has really made it a home – the experience will be remembered with great fondness.’ ‘We will miss absolutely everything about the house and garden as we’ve designed it to our own specification and it’s perfect. We need to move closer to family for a number of reasons and it’s with great regret that we’re selling.’* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
