Full Details for 5 Bedroom Detached for sale in Grimsby, DN37 :
Situated in one of the most prestigious and sought after residential villages in Northern Lincolnshire and stunningly arranged over three floors this five bedroom architecturally designed home successfully juxtaposes opposites to create a harmonious whole defined by light in which the open plan ground floor is extended by the considered use of deep glass panels and reflected water features to combine house and garden into a striking union.
The dramatic play on the vertical and the horizontal, rendered surfaces and timber panels is softened by the undulating grounds and sweeping lawns to form a unique home of evident quality.
The outstanding kitchen will undoubtedly become the social heart of the home with its extensive range of Leicht units, Gaggenau appliances and Flame granite work surfaces. The incorporation of limestone floors creates a unity throughout the ground floor and the lounge with its rotating wood burning fire and full depth glass panels to two aspects is lent an almost liquid light by the play of reflections from the adjacent pools.
The lower ground floor is an ideal recreation area with its potential cinema, gymnasium with sauna and hydro pool together with a private courtyard garden. The principal of simple, clearly defined spaces enhanced by discreet quality is continued to the first floor where the barrel vaulted ceiling of the master bedroom is mirrored in the curving curtain wall of the stylish en-suite.
The Ian Stubbs designed grounds maintain the interplay of the natural and the geometric with a Japanese influenced series of pools and terraces contrasting with the striking summerhouse fronted by a protruding floating deck.
This is a home which recreates itself as the light changes: a home which reinvents what a home should be.

VENDOR INTERVIEW
\"When my partner and I decided to embark upon this project we wanted to build our dream home,\" says Mike, \"but when you build a house of this quality the location is of the upmost importance, it needs to be exceptional, and in my mind Barnoldby Le Beck is just that.\"This truly unique property occupies a prime location within the pretty Lincolnshire village, which lies on the edge of the rolling hills of the Wolds. It's a wonderful setting that enjoys easy access into Grimsby town centre, excellent transport links and beautiful surroundings. It's a location that offers the very best of both worlds. The house was built just under ten years ago, but its contemporary style, open-plan layout and superior quality fixtures and fittings give it an utterly timeless look and feel throughout. \"The house was designed by a respected architect friend of mine,\" continues Mike. \"We sat down together and went though everything that my partner and I wanted from the property. He asked us things such as how we wanted to live and what we enjoyed doing, so for instance I love to cook and therefore the design and quality of the kitchen was very important. We also love open-plan living so the whole house has a really great flow and a light and spacious feel.\"\"I love natural materials, particularly natural stone,\" says Mike, \"so there is a lot of marble and slate used throughout the house, and the wood floors are solid, not engineered; we've used the very best of everything.\" Another material that has been used to wonderful effect throughout the property is glass. In the extremely spacious living room, for example, floor to ceiling windows span two entire walls providing panoramic views of the beautifully landscaped garden beyond, and sliding panels on both walls can be pushed back during the warmer months to provide a seamless connection with stunning outdoors. \"We have lots of very large windows throughout the property,\" says Mike, \"which serve to flood the house with natural light and really open up each space, but our setting is extremely private and so we never feel in the slightest bit overlooked.\" Walkerley House sits in around three-quarters of an acre of stunning, and again quite unique grounds, which have been beautifully designed by a well-respected landscape architect. The property is set well back from the road, at the end of a sweeping driveway, and backs onto woodland. \"For me the garden has the feel of a clearing in the woods,\" says Mike. \"It's a beautiful place to just sit out and relax. One of the neighbouring properties is a manor house and their peacocks often turn up in the garden, which is a wonderful sight; it really is an outstanding setting.\"\"I have to say I really love this house,\" says Mike, \"and if I could pick it up and take it with me, I would. I guarantee that anyone who lives in it will absolutely love it.\"Mike
