5 bed detached house for sale

Watersplash Lane, Warfield, Bracknell, Berkshire RG42

There are homes that simply exist, and there are homes that quietly command your attention. Larks Hill House is very much the latter.

Tucked away along a historic lane with no thoroughfare, where traffic is a rarity rather than a rhythm, this is a house that understands the value of discretion. One of just five individually crafted homes by Millgate, it sits with quiet confidence in the sought-after hamlet of Newell Green, offering over 2,700 sq. Ft. Of space across two floors with a very substantial integral double garage.

Step inside and the tone is set immediately. The entrance hall makes a captivating first impression, where a galleried American oak staircase rises through the space. From here, the house unfolds with confidence. The living room is particularly impressive, extending to circa 23 ft, complete with a built-in media wall. It’s a space that balances scale with comfort, drawing in natural light, with views of the established garden that are ever-changing like a painting. French doors provide a seamless connection outside, reinforcing that sense of openness.

The kitchen is where the house truly finds its stride. Designed as both a workspace and a social hub, it centres around a substantial island - the kind of place where mornings begin and evenings tend to linger. It opens seamlessly into a garden room that does exactly what it promises: Brings the outside in. With further French doors leading onto landscaped gardens and a stunning outlook onto the garden, the flow is effortless, whether you're entertaining or simply enjoying a quieter moment. A west-facing patio extends directly from the kitchen, perfectly positioned for afternoon and evening sun.

Practicality hasn’t been overlooked. A separate utility room keeps the day-to-day neatly out of sight, while a dedicated office offers a calm, purposeful space for work or study. The entire house benefits from a smart heating system, with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.

Upstairs, the balance continues. The principal suite is a retreat in the truest sense, complete with its own en-suite. Bedroom two follows suit, also benefitting from en-suite facilities and built-in wardrobes, while three further bedrooms provide flexibility for family life or visiting guests. A well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining rooms with ease.

Outside, the sense of space carries through. The garden is notably private and, for a modern home, refreshingly generous in scale. A beautifully designed patio extends from the kitchen, creating a natural setting for entertaining or simply enjoying warmer days. A double garage, accessed conveniently via the utility room, is complemented by driveway parking, ensuring both practicality and presence.

Location, as ever, is key - and here it works quietly in your favour. Watersplash Lane offers a semi-rural calm with no thoroughfare, yet remains exceptionally well connected, with reputable schools and transport links within easy reach.

Larks Hill House is not about excess. It’s about balance - between style and substance, openness and privacy, elegance and ease. A home designed not just to be admired, but to be lived in.
