Full Details for 5 Bedroom Detached for sale in Aylesbury, HP18 :
Odyssey is a unique contemporary five bedroom home designed by leading Oxford architects The Anderson Orr Partnership, and constructed to an outstanding standard by Elysium Developments. The house completed, and occupied by the present owners, in November 2014, sits in a half acre plot, surrounded by garden. Whilst incorporating cutting edge construction and technology, its design is sympathetic to the village surrounds. The architects answered a demanding brief with a magnificent layout which affords open plan living, so sought today, but also privacy when required. With some of the latest in building technology, including an air source heat pump, under-floor heating throughout and high level insulation, the house is energy efficient. Electric gates, a video phone entry system, and established boundaries on all sides provide a high degree of security and privacy. On entering the house the sense of light and space is immediately apparent. Off the generous sized hall is a large cloakroom and a study. The stunning kitchen/dining room is the focal point of the home, offering masses of space both for everyday family living and entertaining. The room’s bi-fold doors open onto a terrace and the south-facing garden. Convenient to the kitchen is a walk-in pantry, utility room and plant room. There are two further reception rooms. The living room has a stylish log burner and bi-fold doors opening onto a second south-facing terrace. The family room also features a log burner, the granite hearth being flanked by two full height windows. The two principal bedrooms have dramatic vaulted ceilings and en-suite bathrooms. The south-facing bedroom has a full height feature window and a balcony overlooking the rear garden. The guest bedroom also has an en-suite, and two further double bedrooms are served by a spacious family bathroom. The main garden to the rear is south-facing and gets virtually all day sun. It is mainly laid to lawn with several fruit trees, and has been landscaped for low maintenance and to complement the design of the house. The entire half acre plot is set in mature grounds and bound by natural screening and Wychert walls (a local feature). The brick built two car garage, with electric doors has a studio above accessed by a spiral staircase. There is also ample parking on the forecourt.
