Peggys Bank, Wood Lane, ST7

Set on a generous plot of approximately 0.48 acres, this extraordinary self-built home, completed in 2021, is a rare offering on the open market — a stunning blend of architectural elegance, exceptional craftsmanship, and future-focused sustainability. Designed by the current owners as their forever home, every element has been carefully considered to create a sophisticated yet practical living environment. Nestled within a peaceful semi-rural setting and surrounded by rolling countryside, the property offers the perfect balance of space, serenity, and contemporary style — ideal for families, professionals, or anyone seeking a private retreat with a modern edge.

From the moment you enter, the home’s scale and meticulous attention to detail are immediately evident. The spacious, light-filled entrance hall makes a striking first impression, with a full-height feature window and an elegant turned oak staircase. Natural light, warm tones, and quality materials set the tone throughout.

At the heart of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining area, created by Puddle Duck Kitchens. Featuring bespoke hand painted cabinetry, quartz worktops, sleek brass fittings, integrated appliances, and a generous central island, it’s a space designed for both family living and stylish entertaining. Expansive bi-fold doors open directly onto a sun-soaked patio and the landscaped gardens, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living while framing uninterrupted countryside views.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a calm, welcoming lounge with a charming box bay window, and a separate snug that offers an ideal space for reading, hobbies, or quiet relaxation. Additional ground-floor features include a stylish boot room and laundry area with rear access, and a beautifully appointed shower room — all thoughtfully designed for modern day-to-day living.

Upstairs, a striking galleried landing with glass flooring leads to four generous bedrooms, each filled with natural light. The principal suite is a luxurious retreat, complete with far-reaching views, a walk-through dressing area, and an elegant en-suite shower room. A second double bedroom also features its own en-suite — perfect for guests or older children — while the two remaining bedrooms are ideal for family, visitors, or working from home. A spacious family bathroom, designed by Pebbles Bathrooms, echoes the refined aesthetic found throughout the property.

This home is as efficient as it is beautiful. A water-based underfloor heating system runs throughout, powered by an advanced air-source heat pump. Owned solar panels, paired with a Tesla Powerwall battery system, significantly reduce electricity costs while supporting low-emission living, without compromising on comfort.

The detached double garage includes an electric roller door for secure parking and storage. Above the garage, a fully insulated, self-contained office or studio space includes a kitchenette and WC — ideal as a work-from-home hub, guest accommodation, or, subject to consents, a future annex conversion.

The beautifully landscaped gardens wrap elegantly around the property, combining expansive lawns, mature planting, and panoramic views in every direction. A standout feature is the outdoor kitchen and designated al fresco dining area — perfect for entertaining or enjoying peaceful evenings in nature. A private gravel driveway, accessed via electric gates, enhances both privacy and presence, while the surrounding countryside offers a rare and deeply calming connection to nature.

Blending timeless design, high-specification finishes, and a clear commitment to sustainable living, this exceptional home offers a unique lifestyle opportunity — where elegance, comfort, and future-readiness come together seamlessly.
