Barton Mews Warminster - A Private Development Of Four, Four Bedroom Luxury Homes



I've admired the properties that Adam Jones of Custom Built has been developing for some time now. I recently met Adam and arranged to go and have a look at the his latest project, Barton Mews in Warminster, designed by himself and E10 architects.

Unless you live on Victoria Road and walked past the entrance to this development on a regular basis you'd be forgiven for not knowing that these four luxury homes were there. The site really is very secluded, nestled just off Victoria Road behind a set of automated gates.

The two properties I visited are in the final fix stages and are very attractive. The green oak cladding and grey slate roof naturally draws the eye, coupled with the grey aluminum and hand made bricks these feel like barn conversions.

At nearly 3000 square feet these are substantial properties,  given their size they're are not overbearing but very welcoming...

Internally at ground level the gas fired underfloor heating means the walls are uncluttered with sleek lines. The rest of the ground floor is set to be finished to a very high standard with bi-fold aluminium doors leading out form the living room, which also features a log burning stove and a rather impressive full height ceiling. As expected there's a large snug or office as well as a downstairs WC and utility room.

To quote Jonna Lewie "You'll always find me in the kitchen at parties"... well in 1978 when that song came out he was ahead of his time! Modern kitchens really are the heart of a home and at over 30ft long  with aluminium bi-fold doors the room is impressive. Finished with high quality stone worktops, an island and enough space for a large table and sofa these very social kitchens will be the envy of many.

As you head upstairs the gallery style landing separates the property nicely, as you would expect the bathrooms are spacious and finished to an exceptional standard, its no accident that the master bedroom and en-suite are over the double garage either. Designing the homes in this way ensures the privacy of the whole family and makes the most of footprint of the plot.

The double garage with automated up and over doors mean there is plenty of room for storage and vehicles. I can only imagine how the gardens and grounds will look once landscaped.

All four properties were marketed by Cooper and Tanner and unsurprisingly sold in a heartbeat. So keep you eye out for future Custom Built developments.
