64 Balsham Road is a completely unique and aspirational contemporary property that was built by the current owners since they purchased what was originally on the plot some 9/10 years ago. The only evidence of what was previously on the site is a charming folly (with internal steps and stained glass windows) which occupies a prominent position on the front terrace. This adds a charming twist to the superb and stylish modern design of this impressive home. With cedar cladding and curved zinc roofs, the accommodation is beautifully presented with a huge emphasis on natural light and free-flowing versatile living space. Many of the bedrooms and reception rooms have glazed doors opening to the terraces and the kitchen and bathrooms are fitted to a high specification with excellent attention to detail. The layout has been cleverly thought out to offer wonderful flexibility with a separate access opening to the stairs down to the lower ground floor. On this level are the fourth bedroom with an ensuite and doors opening to its own private courtyard and the family room/games room which leads through to the swimming pool and gym.
In addition to the main house is a delightful detached annexe with is beautifully presented and extends to 758sqft. With open plan living and dining space on the ground floor and a vaulted double bedroom and bathroom on the first floor, it offers the perfect guest/nanny accommodation or indeed could be let out.
The views from many of rooms across the sweeping lawns are spectacular and have to be seen to be fully appreciated. Houses of this style, scope and finish are rarely seen coming to the market.
The house is approached through a remotely operated five bar gate opening to the winding driveway up the house and the annexe and providing ample parking for a number of cars. There is a further gate leading up the side of the garden which could provide a separate access and space for potential garaging etc.
The setting of the house has to be seen to be fully appreciated. The views from the house, gardens and south-facing terraces are unsurpassed and stretch far over the neighbouring fields and farmland. Mainly laid to lawn with some beautiful mature trees including oak, willow, walnut and Japanese handkerchief, the outside space offers completely privacy bordered by established hedging and areas of woodland. The house has been designed and positioned to maximise the plot and the outlook with various areas of interest such as decked terracing, sunken courtyards and two ponds.
Occupying an elevated position at the top of the garden is the large workshop (with drainage, water, power and light) which could also be used as a home office or studio.
