A generous plot in a pleasant suburban area, this struck me as the ideal place to build a home,” says the owner. “Designed by an architect to provide a modern family home with plenty of glass, the house makes the most of its surroundings and the amount of space the vast footprint allows.”

“From the very first step into the house, the space feels impressive yet welcoming,” the owner continues, “with a double height ceiling in the entryway complete with a huge glass light feature. From that moment, the space really opens up, whether into the open plan kitchen diner which segues into the garden, or up the curved glass staircase to the bedrooms above.”

The outdoor space is equally impressive, larger in scale than most gardens locally. “The ample front garden with lawn and trees provides a safe place for children to play,” says the owner, “while to the rear a multi-level garden landscaped with railway sleepers and steps is bounded by a peaceful paved seating area perfect for enjoying an evening glass of wine or al fresco meal. Next to the property’s boundary, meanwhile, is an open space with trees, shrubs and bushes.”

Situated between two villages, the location of the house has much to recommend it, too. “One can walk either up or down the road from the house to find all that the two villages have to offer,” says the owner. “Up in , one has a choice of restaurants, pubs and microbreweries, as well as a supermarket, while down the hill in Darton there are restaurants, shops and a train station. Both villages have primary schools, with secondary school education available at Darton College.”

“Having built the house myself, I shall miss it greatly. It will be difficult to find another home with such a high quality finish and thoughtful layout as this. Being one of only 4 houses in a row, the house enjoys a very peaceful situation. The owners of the other houses are not only good neighbours but also dear friends.”

“Very spacious and airy, with extensive gardens, this is the perfect property for welcoming family and friends. The huge living room can accommodate a large number of guests with space to spare, with a recently fitted bespoke television and music area providing tastefully presented multimedia entertainment options.”*
