The Masterpiece on the Crescent
Situated within a serene, family-friendly crescent in the heart of North Woodley, this is far more than a four-bedroom semi-detached residence; it is a house rooted in passion. Every inch has been curated with a singular vision: to blend the architectural "panache" of a designer home with the restorative, purposeful energy of a modern family ecosystem.
Behind its wide, impressive frontage—which offers generous paved parking for three vehicles—lies an expansive chalet-style home that defies expectations. This is a home that breathes. From the sustainable pulse of its solar panels to the meticulously layered interior palette of mineral greys, botanical greens, and sand-washed creams, it offers a living experience that is both visually stunning and profoundly efficient. It is a home designed not just to be seen, but to be felt.
The Hallway & Crafted Utility: A Study in Flow
The entrance hallway sets an immediate tone of refined warmth, featuring expansive wood effect flooring that draws the eye forward, contrasted beautifully by the plush, mist-grey carpeted stairs that rise like a soft cloud to the upper level. To the left, the home reveals its clever architectural heart: a beautifully crafted utility area. Finished in a muted grey, this space is a masterclass in "functional panache." It seamlessly has spaces for the modern essentials—washing machine, tumble dryer, and dedicated wine fridge. Also the home's boiler is neatly tucked away here. It serves as a tranquil "breathing space" before opening out into the vibrant pulse of the kitchen.
Stepping through the utility, you emerge into the Kitchen and Dining Hub, a breathtaking "Integrated" space that serves as the home’s vibrant social centre. This room is a masterful modern take on the farmhouse aesthetic, where high-end culinary performance meets a relaxed, sun-drenched atmosphere.
The Culinary Heart: Form & Function
The kitchen is anchored by a stunning Double Belfast sink by Carron Phoenix, set into marble-effect worktops with a bespoke ridged drainer—a nod to traditional craftsmanship. The cabinetry is a sophisticated mix of crisp white and sage-grey units, offering deep drawers and open over-shelving for a "living kitchen" feel. Professional-grade AEG appliances are seamlessly integrated, including a gas hob, a double oven, and a dishwasher, while a clever recess gives space for a large fridge-freezer with a built-in water softener. A central breakfast bar provides the perfect perch for morning croissants and coffee, grounding the room’s communal energy.
The Architecture of Light
Above, a designer vaulted skylight with feature lighting acts as a frame for the shifting Berkshire sky, flooding the wood effect floors with natural light. The air is kept perfectly temperate by two striking upright designer radiators, while a large picture window offers a curated view of the outdoors. This is a room that celebrates the "Biophilic" connection; the light grey decor on the walls acts as a canvas for the shadows of the garden trees beyond.
The Dining Sanctuary
The space flows effortlessly into a generous dining area, large enough for a substantial family table. Here, bi-fold doors erase the boundary between inside and out, opening the entire room to the garden. It is a space designed for the synergy of family life—where food preparation, homework, and evening celebrations happen simultaneously in a bright, airy environment.
The Serene Living Room
Through the elegant archway, you transition into the Living Room, a space designed as a masterclass in sensory tranquillity. Bathed in a palette of White and Aura Grey, this is a truly holistic room that functions as a soft, mineral "envelope" for the home. The walls, finished in a Light Slate, act like a stone cliffside, shifting beautifully in tone as the natural light evolves throughout the day—from a crisp, invigorating morning silver to a deep, meditative twilight grey.
Underfoot, a plush grey carpet adds a layer of tactile luxury, making the space feel incredibly grounded and quiet. While currently a sophisticated sanctuary for large, comfortable sofas and a dedicated desk area for peaceful reflection, the room’s versatile footprint means it could easily transform into a high-end, imaginative playroom. With a door leading back to the hallway, the room maintains a sense of privacy and calm.
The Downstairs Bathroom: A Calming Sanctuary
This space is a masterclass in sophistication, where the architectural precision of a square-profile white suite meets the raw, weathered charm of pale sea-board flooring. Set against a moody, high-contrast backdrop of Obsidian Mist—a deep mineral grey that feels both grounded and luxurious—the room’s focal point is a sculptural square sink set within a sleek vanity unit.
The subtle bath, featuring a symmetrical centered-tap and hose attachment, is elegantly framed by a designer panel of botanical tiles that feel like a fossilised garden pressed into stone. Sunlight filters through a decorative privacy window, creating a dappled, spa-like glow that dances across the geometric lines of the square toilet. A tall, heated rail ensures the space remains a warm, cocooning retreat, perfectly balancing sharp-edged high-end modernism with the restorative, unhurried rhythms of the natural world.
The Cocooning Family Space
Beyond double doors of wood and privacy glass lies the Family Room, a space that currently serves as a sanctuary for restorative treatments. This room is the embodiment of the "hushed" atmosphere; it is an acoustic retreat designed to dampen the echoes of a busy house, creating a sensation akin to standing in a quiet clearing in a forest.
The cocooning atmosphere is curated through a deliberate layering of soft finishes, including a light grey plush carpet that absorbs sound and invites relaxation. Two large windows, dressed in plantation-style blinds, allow for precise control over the natural light, filtering it into soft strips that enhance the room’s meditative quality. Whether used as a professional wellness space or a snug family huddle-room, the "cocooning" nature of the décor provides a sensory shield, filtering out the noise of the outside world. It is a room where whispers can be heard and the mind can finally find its "still point," making it the ultimate destination for shared family connection or deep, private recovery.
The Practical Store Room
Adjacent to the main living areas is the Store Room, an organised utility area and a vital asset for a busy household. This expansive space is anchored by durable wood effect flooring, offering a practical and "earthed" foundation that mirrors the home's natural aesthetic. With its generous proportions, it serves as the ultimate versatile larder or equipment hub, providing the perfect footprint for bespoke shelving to house artisanal ingredients, sports gear, or the hidden essentials of family life.
The Soft-Toned Landing
Ascending the stairs, the transition to the private quarters is softened by a sophisticated two-tone palette of soft petal pink and grey. The space is as functional as it is beautiful, featuring a discreet storage cupboard to keep the clean lines uninterrupted.
The Restorative Master Bedroom
The Principal Bedroom is designed as a sanctuary for deep, nocturnal recovery. The room has a feature wall in a harmonious Moss Green, a colour rooted in the natural world that does more than just please the eye.
The architecture of the room is kept intentionally minimalist to preserve this sense of calm. A clever corner bank of built-in wardrobes—including a strategic mirrored door to bounce soft light—provides ample storage for accessories and clothing, ensuring the room remains an uncluttered "void" for the mind to rest. High-end details ground the design, from the blending dark grey radiator that melts into the shadows of the room to the discreet loft hatch access. It is a space of "Circadian Harmony,"
A Sanctuary of Light
Bedroom Two offering views over the rear garden and is bathed in a palette of ethereal Sky Blue, a tone that provides a profound sense of lightness. This room allows the morning light to interact with the blue walls, creating an atmosphere that is both invigorating and profoundly peaceful.
The Cream Barley Retreat
Bedroom Three is situated at the front of the home to capture the softest morning light. The room is enveloped in a sophisticated palette of Cream Barley and Forget-Me-Not Blue, a combination that evokes the nostalgic charm of a summer meadow. A large window offers elevated front aspect views, allowing dappled sunlight to dance across the plush grey carpeting, creating a "shifting" visual texture that feels both airy and grounded.
The Versatile Morning Sanctuary
Bedroom Four is currently curated as a sophisticated Dressing Room and Sanctuary, offering a dedicated space for the rituals of "Natural Beauty." This room provides a luxurious "pause button" at the start of each day; with ample room for a bespoke dresser and a comfortable settee, it is a bright, airy environment perfect for preparing for the day ahead surrounded by your favourite botanical products.
However, the room’s versatility is its true strength. With its quiet position and steady flow of natural light, it would transition effortlessly into a private home office.
The First-Floor Shower Room: A Geometric Sanctuary
The upstairs Shower Room is a study in high-end architectural precision, serving as a crisp, modernist counterpart to the home’s softer sleeping quarters. The focal point is a sleek corner shower, encased in glass and fully tiled in a shimmering silver These tiles have been meticulously chosen for their organic texture, designed to mimic the raw, striated surfaces of nature.
Every element in this space is deliberate, from the heated towel rail that ensures a warm, cocooning transition after every rinse, to the clean, geometric lines of the suite.
The Garden: A Pristine Outdoor Sanctuary
Transitioning through the bi-fold doors, you emerge into a garden that is a true extension of the home’s "Integrated" design. This is a private, low-maintenance haven curated for both relaxation and effortless entertaining.
The Garden Room: The space is anchored by pristine artificial grass, providing a lush, emerald-green carpet that remains perfect in every season. This is framed by cream-toned fencing, which acts as a bright, reflective "wall," lifting the energy of the space and creating the feeling of an outdoor living room.
The Evening Glow: As dusk falls, the garden transforms into a magical retreat, with delicate fairy lights illuminating the perimeter.
Structure & Utility: A beautifully laid patio area provides the perfect footprint for al fresco dining, with elegant steps leading up to the main level. The garden is as practical as it is beautiful, featuring secure side access and a discreet small shed for storage, ensuring the minimalist aesthetic of the home is maintained even outdoors.
