Hauptstraße, Croydon, Royston

An inspiring architect-designed residence offering striking contemporary style, beautifully landscaped gardens and far-reaching countryside views.
Built in 2006 and designed by the acclaimed RH Partnership Architects, this exceptional five-bedroom detached home combines imaginative design with a high specification throughout, providing around 2,400 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation.
A dramatic double-height entrance hall with full-height glazing and galleried landing sets the tone for the light-filled interiors. The superb kitchen/breakfast room features high-gloss cabinetry, Corian work surfaces and premium Smeg appliances, with a part-vaulted ceiling adding volume and a door opening to the perfect spot for an al-fresco morning coffee. There’s also a well-equipped utility room and generous storage including a useful low-head-height basement area.
The layout flows seamlessly between the dining area, sitting room, and a study fitted with bespoke furniture—perfect for home working. Tall glazing throughout maximises natural light and connects the living spaces to the beautifully landscaped gardens.
Upstairs, the principal suite enjoys dual-aspect countryside views, fitted wardrobes, and a luxurious en suite wet room. Four further bedrooms (including the ideal in-law suite with its own access and being on its own floor between the ground and first floors) and a stylish family bathroom complete the accommodation.
Outside, a sweeping gravel driveway leads to a detached double garage with electric Hormann door. The mature gardens enjoy a sunny southerly aspect, thoughtfully landscaped with multiple terraces for outdoor dining and entertaining, raised beds, and a secluded vegetable garden—all bordered by established hedgerows offering privacy and charm.
