Description

11a Woodfield Road is a beautiful newly-constructed five-bedroom detached home that combines contemporary style with outstanding eco-credentials. Finished to a high standard throughout and built to near-Passivhaus standards, it offers generous accommodation across three floors, with excellent energy performance, with an uncompromised specification.

You enter into a bright and spacious, central hallway with tiled flooring, and leading on to all principle ground floor rooms. 

The Nicholas Hythe-designed family kitchen at the rear of the property features a central island; premium appliances including a boiling water Quooker tap; undermounted Franke sink; induction hob with integral pop-up extractor; built-in double oven, including a combination microwave oven; integrated dishwasher; and integrated fridge freezer. Large format floor tiles; Quartz worksurfaces; and modern pendant lighting complete the space, making this truly turnkey. 

From the kitchen there are French doors opening out onto the rear patio, and there is also a separate utility room, with a glazed rear door to the patio; Belfast sink; space and plumbing for a washing machine; and ample storage. 

There are three reception rooms on the ground floor with warm oak flooring. The main living room also opens out to the garden through French doors, creating a seamless connection between inside and out. Through glazed double doors off the living room, a versatile additional room could be used as a study; playroom; or snug. The study and separate dining room are both at the front of the property, feature bay windows for ample natural light; and the engineered Oak flooring continues throughout all the reception rooms. 

Also on the ground floor is a downstairs WC, with a back-to-wall WC; integrated vanity unit; and illuminated mirror. There is also a handy understairs store cupboard. The ground floor is heated by hot water underfloor heating, supplied from the air source heat pump and solar thermal array.  

A locally crafted staircase with oak handrail takes you up to the first floor where there are five bedrooms. The principal bedroom has views over the rear garden; a large built-in wardrobe; and an ensuite shower room. This has an integrated basin and vanity unit; illuminated mirror; back-to-wall WC; and a large walk-in shower with rainfall showerhead. 

There are four further bedrooms on this floor – bedrooms two and three are both double bedrooms and also feature built-in wardrobes. Bedrooms four and five are single bedrooms. All the bedrooms are fully carpeted in a neutral colour. There is a well-appointed family bathroom accessible from the hallway.

On the second floor, is a flexible space that could be used as a family room; games room; or for those who work from home – an exceptional home office. This room has two built-in storage cupboards, and a Velux window for natural light. This floor also has an additional shower room, which shares its design and specification with the other bathrooms. 

The plant room containing the hot water cylinders and air source heat pump controls is situated on the second floor and includes a water softener; and this room also offers ample, easily accessible storage space. There is a further fully boarded loft space through a crawl hatch.

Outside, the west-facing rear garden is mostly lawn with a mature tree, and a large block-paved patio accessed directly from both the kitchen and living room — perfect for outdoor dining and summer entertaining. The double garage features two individual electrically-operated roller doors for vehicles; a built-in workbench and storage area; as well as stairs to the first floor. Fully boarded with Velux window, this space offers a wealth of opportunity for additional storage; a craft or hobby space; or workshop. 

There is secure gated access to the rear garden; and the front driveway has an EV charge point fitted for those with an electric vehicle. Combined with the large photovoltaic solar array means that this a great property for low-cost motoring!

Constructed using a highly insulated timber-frame system with a ventilated brick outer skin, the home is fitted with triple-glazed timber-framed windows and doors, ensuring excellent thermal performance and airtightness. Solar PV and thermal panels reduce energy usage significantly, supported by a WiFi operated Stiebel Eltron air source heat pump — one of the most highly regarded models — and a 300-litre solar cylinder with buffer tank. A Brink Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system ensures constant filtered airflow throughout the house.
