Solihull | 5 Bedrooms | £1,795,000

A new home of impeccable design and exceptional standards, with an industry-leading specification by Hampton Group.

The 'Grand Designs' external architectural and specification features of Lovelace House, undoubtedly set this home apart from traditional new build methods, and is now complete ready for occupation.

Lovelace House is a distinctive property, with Siberian Larch clad gable features, a material which has been sourced from a plentiful and vast forest region of Northern Europe. The cold harsh climate has given the Siberian Larch its attributes most popular with contemporary development - its density being hard wearing and resistant to decay and rot, perfect for exposed elevations. The high density of the material means it has a maintenance-free service life with a long and reliable lifespan.

The roof and facade are further clad with 'Anthra-Zinc' - the world's 1st pre-weathered black zinc.

Lovelace House offers secure access from Lovelace Avenue, with front electric gates, colour-matched to the external specification, plus a separate side pedestrian secure access gate. The driveway has a white stone finish leading up to the black aluminium and glass front door.

The property is set over three floors, with two walk-out front-facing balconies to the principal bedroom suites. Bedrooms 3, 4 and 5 to the rear of the first and second floors have Juliet glass balconies. 'Off White' semi-polished concrete finishes the ground and first floor, with underfloor heating at both ground and first floor levels.

The ground floor has an impressionable bespoke kitchen (see specification below), with Neff integrated appliances, Quooker hot water tap, and black aluminium sliding doors to the rear garden. The separate utility to the rear of the kitchen has a courtesy door leading into the garage. 

Crittall black doors lead from the hall into the kitchen area, ensuring light enters the property from every aspect, and from the kitchen into the snug/living room area, a room which enjoys an atrium ceiling light, bringing in a further wealth of natural light.  To the front elevation is a separate study and guest cloakroom with boot room/coat cupboard. 

A steel and black oak staircase leads to the first floor where the 'Off White' semi-polished polished concrete and underfloor heating continue to the landing area. There are three bedrooms on the first floor, the main suite with a large walk-in dressing area, a large ensuite and a walk-out balcony.

The main suite bathroom has a large walk-in shower, double sink units, feature lighting and a stand-alone bath with "switchable" glass to the main window for the utmost privacy.  The rear two bedrooms on the first floor have fitted wardrobes and the larger of the two bedrooms has an ensuite shower room. The main family bathroom is central to the landing with full wall tiling and stand alone bath by RAK ceramics.

To the second floor are two further bedrooms, giving five bedrooms in total, with the front-facing room having another walk-out balcony.  Both top-floor bedrooms have 'Jack and Jill' access to the large bathroom and fitted storage.

The gardens surrounding Lovelace House are landscaped reflective of the contemporary design, keeping ease of maintenance in mind and will benefit from the existing established tree life.

Viewings are by appointment via the Agent.
