The bedroom will never be the same - a new trend emerges for house hunters

Dec. 9, 2011 - PRLog -- A trend appears to be emerging amongst house hunters looking for a property in affluent areas – the ‘super master suite’. This is more than just a bedroom, it is almost a contained apartment within the home, which offers separate spaces to sleep, lounge, get dressed and even work. Its popularity has been rising over the last couple of years and it has become a prerequisite for many buyers.  

A perfect example of this can be found in September House, Millgate Homes’ latest property in the world-renowned Wentworth Estate – a location which speaks for itself. Arguably the pièce de résistance of this 6 bedroom home, the suite consumes half of the first floor. Accessed via two entrances, either from the gallery landing or ‘service staircase’, which adjoins the staff quarters, it features a sitting area, following through to the bedroom space. Here, the occupants can enjoy the use of a balcony, with impressive French doors allowing natural light to flood in. To the other side of the room is the master ‘his and hers’ en suite, whilst the separate dressing area provides ample space to store the owner’s wardrobe. A second terrace, above the indoor pool, offers an additional outside area over-looking manicured lawns.

Speaking about the rise in popularity of the super master suite is Rupert Wyatt of Barton Wyatt Estate Agents. He said: “Over the last two years we have seen more and more clients requesting to view properties which have large master bedrooms. Many want a space away from the rest of the home that they can retire to and spend lots of their time in. A pool or expansive, open-plan kitchen used to be the main requirement, but as those have almost become the norm, this is the new trend emerging and many people are responding to this new demand.”

Indeed, Warren Joseph of Ascot Design, architect of September House, agrees: “We have to design homes according to what people want and, recently, we have been creating more properties that contain this super master suite. It takes inspiration from the luxury suites featured in international 5 star hotels, where different areas within the room are subtly defined into separate zones, so as to give the impression of a home away from home.

“Of course, there are other features that are high on the tick list, including exaggerated ceiling heights to give a real sense of grandeur and space, as well as large windows for natural light and September House is a prime example of a home that has it all and much more.”

It occupies a secluded and gated location in a southerly aspected plot and has been built to exceed the expectations of even the most discerning of purchasers. Offering in excess of 10,000 square feet of accommodation that houses extensive space dedicated to entertaining and family life, as well as a separate annexe – providing ideal staff accommodation – a triple garage and a heated indoor swimming pool, the specification is second to none. Externally, the front and rear gardens the home has been designed by a Chelsea gold medal winning landscaper to breathtaking effect; mature shrubs, trees and plants all add to the feel that this home has been in place for many years, rather than a matter of months.

The property is priced at £6,500,000. To view September House, call selling agents Barton Wyatt on 01344 843000, and arrange a personal appointment. Alternatively, visit millgatehomes.co.uk for further information.
