Overview

Topeka is an impressive, detached family home offering five bedrooms and beautifully appointed accommodation, set in the desirable village of Willingale. Attractive, white-rendered elevations complement extensive west-facing gardens, while internally the property combines bespoke contemporary finishes with clean, neutral décor to create a bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout.

The ground floor features three beautifully presented reception rooms, including the magnificent 42ft open-plan kitchen and dining room at the rear of the house. This exceptional living and entertaining space opens onto the gardens via sliding glass doors, flooding the room with natural light, and incorporates a sleek contemporary kitchen with fitted units, integrated appliances and a central island with breakfast bar. A well-proportioned utility room provides additional storage and appliance space. The sitting room and family room offer further areas in which to relax, with the latter opening onto a private courtyard garden. There is also a double bedroom on the ground floor, ideal for guests, complete with built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room.

Upstairs, four further double bedrooms are arranged around the landing, including the luxurious principal suite with a dressing room and en suite shower room featuring a walk-in rainfall shower. A further bedroom also benefits from a dressing room and en suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with a freestanding bathtub and wet-room-style shower.

To the front, a gravel driveway provides ample parking. The rear gardens extend to approximately 300ft and enjoy a sunny west-facing aspect. Bordered by mature trees, they include extensive lawns, a generous terrace for outdoor entertaining and a heated swimming pool. Additional outbuildings include a summer house and a detached studio, ideal for home working. The wide side access to the left on the building allows room for potential further development of a separate annex, subject to planning.

Agents note The current custodians of Topeka could see amazing potential in this 1970s family home when they first visited the house back in 2023. The sheer work and effort that has gone into this building soon becomes evident upon arrival. Our clients’ vision to recreate a stylish, modern family home, with a bright and airy flow, is truly visionary.
