Pull up along the sweeping driveway providing generous off-road parking for two or three vehicles, leading to a single garage. Make your way indoors, through the front door and into the entrance hallway where storage for coats and shoes is available on the left. The entrance hall makes an immediate impact, broad, bright, and welcoming, with the central staircase commanding attention. Light filters in from above, spilling across recently laid Balterio oak-effect laminate flooring and leading through a layout designed for easy family life.
The lounge is a space that captures the essence of the home. Expansive, modern, and full of warmth. Its vast picture window frames ever-changing views across a mature and private garden, a scene of green tranquillity alive with birdsong. This is a room built for togetherness, for movie nights, fireside chats, and lazy Sunday afternoons. The floating gas fire within a feature surround offers a contemporary focal point, while the oak-toned flooring continues seamlessly into the adjacent dining room.
The dining room enjoys its own moment of flair with a feature bay window that elevates both the light and the privacy of the space. Positioned at the front of the home, it’s perfect for sociable dinners, celebrations, or peaceful breakfasts. There’s ample room for a large dining set, with scope to host everything from Christmas gatherings to midweek meals with ease.
Turning right from the entrance hall, discover the kitchen, a culinary space designed for function and flow. Crisp white, high gloss units reflect the natural light from the large window, which sits above the sink and looks out over the front. NEFF built-in appliances, including a hob, oven, and grill, blend beautifully with freestanding additions such as the fridge-freezer and washing machine. A generous stretch of worktop runs the length of the kitchen, accompanied by the breakfast bar; this space is perfect for preparing food or hosting chilled-out family breakfasts.
Upstairs, the sense of space continues. Ascend the light-filled staircase, where a mid-way window washes the landing with daylight. Here, fitted storage provides a neat solution for linen and seasonal essentials, while the loft hatch offers access to further tucked-away storage above.
Each of the four double bedrooms is thoughtfully designed with its own personality and style.
At the rear, a double bedroom currently used as the principal suite, is a serene and private escape, with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, soft neutral décor, and dreamy garden views that stretch across treetops alive with the joy of fluttering birds.
Another front-facing bright double bedroom boasts a feature bay window, ample built-in storage and breathtaking views of Holcombe Hill; the sunsets from here are something special. Currently styled as a home office, and guest room, this space shares the same verdant outlook and offers complete flexibility; a creative space, nursery, or study, as life demands.
At the rear, double bedroom three, a light and bright double bedroom shares views out over the extensive gardens and far into the distant counties, serving well as a teenage space, nursery or home office.
To the front, the fourth double bedroom is bathed in light, complete with a stunning feature wall, and benefits from an en-suite shower room with fully tiled walls, a contemporary wash basin, WC, shower and neutral finishes for a clean, calming feel.
The family bathroom is a bright, well-proportioned space that balances everyday function with a clean and calming aesthetic. Fully tiled in soft marble-effect tones with a decorative border, it features a practical combination of a corner bath and overhead Mira shower, perfect for quick weekday mornings or relaxed evening soaks.
A broad, built-in vanity unit spans the width of the room, providing generous storage, helping keep the surfaces clutter-free and serene. Pale wood-effect cabinetry adds warmth, while the neutral palette and large-format tiles ensure the room feels fresh and open.
Step out from the lounge onto a slightly elevated patio, a generous stone terrace with a well-placed greenhouse to one side, all in prime position to soak up the sun. From here, passing a “Lifetime” garden shed on the left, the expansive garden unfurls in tiers and textures, offering an immersive journey through nature. Follow the path down the lawn to the garden studio, complete with heating, lighting, double glazing, oak flooring, and hardwired ethernet, making it the ideal office, creative studio, or quiet summer house.
Neatly edged lawns give way to rich borders, mature shrubs, and trees framing a secret path that leads to a hidden basketball court and a fruiting apple and pear tree. Whether it’s spring blooms, the rustle of autumn leaves, or snow-laced branches in winter, this garden changes with the seasons, but remains a place of peace and play all year round.
With four spacious bedrooms, sweeping views, a glorious garden and excellent scope for further extension, 11 Brooklands Road offers flexibility for growing families and home-workers alike. More than just a house, this is a warm and welcoming home, loved, lived in, and ready to start a new chapter.
