Les Collombelles is a beautifully finished modern home, maintained to a fantastic standard. The property sits set back from Thorpe Road on a small new build development of just three individual homes, completed in 2019. It boasts stunning uninterrupted views from the rear of its 0.45-acre plot.

Although the house was built to a high standard by the original developer, our clients have a made a number of improvements including an orangery extension to the kitchen/dining room which has a fitted air-conditioning unit. There is also air-conditioning fitted in the master bedroom and electric blinds in a number of the rooms. The ground floor has a wet (plumbed) underfloor heating system with each room/area having its own zone (with the exception of the WC). The vendors have also transformed the garden into a multi-facetted haven.

Interior double French doors open from the entrance hall into the modern kitchen/dining room, which takes light from the orangery extension, which features a central roof lantern and full-height bi-fold doors leading to the garden. The dining area has space for a table to sit up to eight people. The modern gloss kitchen has a breakfast bar, integrated fridge/freezer and dish washer, as well as a steam oven and double oven.

Outside

The garden has been transformed by our clients since they purchased the property as new, really utilising the almost half-an-acre plot that Les Collombelles sits within. The orangery and kitchen lead out onto a large patio area which features a pergola that joins onto a wooden decking behind the garage; edged with white walls, this is used as an outdoor kitchen. There is space for an 10-12 seater outdoor dining table which makes it the perfect space for alfresco dining.

A small gate from the patio leads through to an area of lawn which is edged entirely by an immaculate slate and patio path, with a feature flower bed in the front centre. Past the area of lawn, lies a young orchard which can be admired from the summer house and it’s decking with mature flower beds.

The curated summer house boasts an electric fireplace for cosy summer nights and beams in the ceiling which add further character. This space is multi-functional; it could be used as a chill-out area for entertaining, a summer playroom, as a work-from-home office, or a gym.

At the bottom of the garden there is a potting shed, a garden shed for storage and an allotment for growing your own fruit and vegetables and a compost area. From the post and rail wooden fence boundary, the views across the neighbouring fields beyond can be admired.

At the front of the property there is a neatly kept block-paved gated driveway edged with two sections of lawn either side, there is space for up to six cars. The 23ft detached double garage offers more parking and/or storage space. The garage also has plumbing already installed for an additional washing machine or tumble dryer if required.
