Belgrave Lane, Plymouth

Tucked away in a lane moments from Mutley Plain, this individually designed detached residence is a home of extraordinary proportions and architectural ambition. A property of vast volumes, dramatic materials, extensive glazing and considered indoor outdoor spaces combine to create an exceptional lifestyle residence.

A striking staircase rises towards the living accommodation where the scale of the home becomes immediately apparent. The living room is enormous, with exposed brick wall facades, timber flooring and expressed steel joists creating a sophisticated industrial aesthetic. Bifold doors open into a spectacular open air atrium, where birch trees rise dramatically through the space towards English cedar panelling that lines the surrounding walls. Further bifold doors open into the contemporary kitchen, a superb social space centred around a massive statement island and complemented by a comprehensive range of integrated appliances. The arrangement creates an extraordinary sequence of spaces, allowing the reception room, atrium and kitchen to flow seamlessly together while still retaining their own distinct character. Practical accommodation includes a utility cupboard, storage and a cloakroom/WC. Upstairs a beautifully considered landing illuminated by a collection of oversized lanterns offers a master bedroom with en suite and three further double bedrooms including a particularly special bedroom/reception room with bifold doors opening onto a covered cedar clad terrace, an exceptional private space. The distinctly modern bathroom is equally impressive in scale.

Accessed via a rear staircase from the house or through the remote double garage door, the garage is substantial enough to accommodate multiple vehicles while offering the proportions to create an impressive home gym or leisure space. Stairs descend again to another vast lower area offering a blank canvas for lifestyle use.

This is a most extraordinary home where scale meets architectural flair.
