5 bedroom detached for sale

Hammerwood is a beautifully modernised Edwardian residence, being the first house to be built within this quiet cul-de-sac location, that perfectly balances period elegance with contemporary luxury. Set on one of Oxteds most prestigious roads, this distinguished family home showcases exceptional craftsmanship, timeless design, and a wealth of versatile living space. On arrival, a welcoming boot room with underfloor heating leads into the grand entrance hall, where newly fitted, contemporary Crittall-style glass internal doors and elegant Wainscoting paneling with Edwardian detailing set the tone. The light-filled interiors are enhanced by herringbone flooring and a series of exquisite fireplaces, including a stone fireplace with log burner in the dedicated study. Two impressive reception rooms provide generous living and entertaining space, each own a striking feature fireplace.

The heart of the home is the open plan kitchen and orangery room, designed by Burbidge in a sophisticated grey-green palette. A double butler sink, premium Miele appliances (stove, dishwasher, double oven), Liebherr double-door fridge/ freezer, Quooker hot tap and water filter, and electric underfloor heating elevates the space, while the orangery creates a seamless tranquil connection to the garden. Additional conveniences include two utility rooms. One being off the inner hall, combined with the downstairs cloakroom and one branching off the kitchen itself, with access to garden.

To complete the accommodation downstairs, a tanked and dry cellar offers excellent, well organised storage. Modern enhancements and recent upgrades make Hammerwood as practical as it is beautiful. A new roof was installed in 2014, while brand new windows and doors were fitted in 2022, ensuring excellent insulation, efficiency, and security, as well as solar panels for hot water. Together with the 2023 kitchen renovation, these improvements mean the property is ready for modern living without compromising its Edwardian charm
