set behind electric gates on a well-

regarded no-through road in the village

of longworth, the laurels is a wonderful

place to call home. this lovely home is

a versatile and modern space measuring

3200 sq ft, which any family could happily

grow into.

An individually designed house constructed to the highest standards and with luxury touches to provide effortless modern living, you’ll get an immediate sense of the quality of this home as soon as you park on the private driveway, which has space for several cars. The front door opens into a vast entrance hall with a stunning bespoke glass and oak staircase as its centrepiece.

The rooms flow and interlink effortlessly throughout, providing a perfect balance of open-plan areas for entertaining and family life and more private spaces for work, watching TV or just curling up with a glass of wine and a good book.

On the ground floor there are two sitting rooms – the larger of the two is the perfect ‘grown-up’ space with lovely proportions and an impressive set of bifold doors which open onto the sun terrace and stunning landscaped garden on a warm day. If you have children, you’ll love the second sitting room which would make a perfect playroom or TV room that the kids can call their own.

There are two bedrooms on the ground floor (one is currently used as a spacious home office) plus a luxurious family bathroom with bathtub, separate shower and designer sanitaryware.

the heart of this lovely home is undoubtedly the stunning and spacious kitchen/diner. this room, which is worthy of the pages of an interior design magazine, really has the ‘wow’ factor and is a space you’ll want to spend lots of time in.

The bespoke Italian kitchen has been thoughtfully designed to handle the rigours of modern life and is sufficiently equipped to impress even the most discerning home cook. There are acres of chic grey Quartz work surfaces for food preparation, no fewer than three Siemens ovens including a steam oven and microwave, a built-in fridge/freezer, dishwasher, wine fridge and Quooker tap providing instant boiling water on demand.

Family and friends can sit around the large central island for informal kitchen suppers, or you can enjoy dinner parties around a large table perfectly placed in front of the bifold doors with views over the garden. Off the kitchen is a separate utility room with sink, plumbing for a washer and dryer and direct access to the garden.

When the weather is nice, The Laurels really comes into its own. You can fold back the full-length bifold doors in both the kitchen and formal sitting room, opening onto the sun terrace which runs along the rear of the house, allowing the garden to become a part of this beautiful inclusive space. Zoned underfloor heating throughout ensures The Laurels is consistently warm and cosy in the winter, whilst air conditioning to the first floor bedrooms guarantees a comfortable nights’ sleep during the warmer months.

the feeling of light and space continues upstairs at the laurels.

As you ascend that gorgeous glass staircase, you’ll reach a wide, light-filled galleried landing which is another fantastic space for relaxing, watching tv or as a children’s play area.

There are three excellent bedrooms up here, each with their own beautifully appointed en-suite bathrooms and cooled by air-conditioning units. The master bedroom suite is one of the highlights of this home and has been designed for those seeking pure luxury. This room has a high vaulted ceiling creating a sense of light and space, a vast window at one end with doors leading onto a private balcony, a spa-like bathroom with walk-in shower, his and hers sinks and luxurious bathtub, as well as a chic and spacious dressing area with bespoke fitted wardrobes. This is a truly peaceful haven that you’ll look forward to retreating to at the end of the day.

outside you’ll find a beautifully landscaped and maintained garden extending to about 1/3 acre. there is a wrap-around terrace to make the most of the sun, and a manicured lawn edged with a good range of mature plants and shrubs.

A built-in irrigation system and rain water harvester ensure that the grass and plants stay well watered. There’s also an insulated summerhouse which could make a great home office or studio, a garden shed and a greenhouse. This is a fantastic garden for entertaining, with direct access from the kitchen and an outside speaker system for summer parties. To the front you’ll find a double garage with remote controlled door, plenty of room for two cars and a large loft space above.

If you’re looking for a home to move straight into, unpack and start enjoying living in, then The Laurels could be the perfect choice for you. The décor is chic and neutral throughout and has been very well looked after.

All the fixtures and fittings from the door handles to the bathroom sanitaryware are of the highest standard. The village is great for commuting to Oxford, Swindon or for trains to London, or you’ll be equally content to work from home with a choice of rooms to make a great office.
