Chenotrie Gardens, Noctorum, CH43 9WU

Chenotrie Gardens is charming, mostly for its seclusion, for its generous plot sizes, for its proximity to renowned schooling - and this particular offering certainly sits at the top of its game.

Having undergone a rigorous renovation, including the execution of its sublime (and extended) kitchen extravaganza, this five bedroomed detached just may well be our favourite...

To summarise would be to neglect telling you just how much work our client has poured into this beautiful home, so let us start at the beginning - there's been a face-lift to the front of the house, making for a far more contemporary aesthetic, two EV chargers have been installed to the detached double garage, a full re-wire and new boiler to the main residence, a Marantz and Dali surround sound installed to the snug (used as the cinema room), with fixed wiring for up to 13 speakers including in-ceiling speakers for Dolby Atmos surround sound to the living room and Bose surround sound to the games rooms, new doors and new windows throughout - and we haven't even touched on the Japanese toilets installed to two of the four en-suites...

There's a heavy focus here on hosting, on entertaining, on family; bringing everyone together, whether it be for a pool tournament, piano recital, or gym session (?!) there is space for just about all of the extended family!

But really, if we're honest, we're here for the kitchen. And what a kitchen this is - a huge space, extended by our client with additions of Velux windows and a vast opening to the lawn via tri-folds.

There's a collection of oven space - three, actually, plus a combination oven, which will see you able to cater for the masses, Quartz worktops to the prep space that seems never ending, built in coffee machine for when you need that extra shot of caffeine.

And an inspired two pronged peninsula system sprouting from the central island which, again, is shouting out for guests to congregate at. And, of course there's a separate utility off.

So we've tackled the kitchen, you know of the quieter break out space of the snug, then there's the open plan chill out space opening through to current games room and then through to the former conservatory (now with solid roof) currently proffered as a thoroughly well equipped gym - again with matching tri-folds to the lawns.

Easily a formal diner should you so need or wish.

Interestingly, there's the versatility here of semi independent living - perhaps for the in-laws, an au père, or of course, the ageing kids who are staying at home longer - there's a secondary staircase here leading you up to a double bedroom suite with built in wardrobes and a large shower room - and the first addition of a Japanese toilet system.

Back down to the ground floor, and through to the hallway, we must of course instruct you on the study to the front, as well as the inner hallway with storage and access through to the vividly decorated w.c!

Up we go to the main bedroom quarters, which originally offered 4 doubles (plus the aforementioned 5th independent double) - the principle suite includes a double bedroom, private (and newly installed) bathroom, and dressing room (former bedroom) - with its door to the landing remaining, the re-erection of a wall between master and dressing room will give you the remaining double if needed.

Two further suites, then, to the front there's a double with dressing area and shower room en suite, whilst to the rear there's another double with built in wardrobes and a large four piece en suite, too.

So, now you're familiar with the internals - let's look at the plot itself - we've a sprawling front lawn which provides a very attractive approach, parking for 4 or 5, plus the double garage (don't forget the 2 EV charges) - and then over to the rear we have another pretty lawn - proportionate to the house, with a great deal of privacy.

And of course, we wouldn't be complete here if we didn't echo the focus on hosting - so there's a bar for good measure.

A great addition here, with decking giving plenty of space for your garden furniture. And if your offer is right, we may throw in a house warming bottle to stock the bar!

In summary - a four/five bedroomed luxury home - with space for all, plus extra for visitors - and a motivated seller.
