Trienna, Orton Longueville, PE2

Set within a leafy pocket of Orton Longueville, this substantial five-bedroom home has been thoughtfully updated and extended to create a beautifully balanced family space.

A Bright Welcome

Step through the broad vaulted entrance porch into the hallway, where natural light and a glass-balustraded staircase immediately set a contemporary tone. From here, the ground floor unfolds into a series of spaces designed to work equally well for busy family life, quieter moments and effortless entertaining. Spanning the depth of the home, soft, sage green panelling, a stone fireplace, bay window to the front and bifold doors onto the rear terrace give the sitting room an elegant, formal feel, making it an inviting counterpoint to the contemporary kitchen and family room.

At The Heart Of The Home

From laid back weekend brunches to lively family celebrations, the open-plan kitchen and living space is the beating heart of the home. At its centre, the kitchen feels bright, generous and immediately sociable. Large rooflights, broad windows and bifold doors draw in an abundance of natural light and open the room towards the garden, while a gently curved bay adds another layer. A substantial island with inset sink and boiling water tap anchors the space, alongside built-in bench seating that naturally lends itself to breakfast, homework and relaxed conversation. Shaker-style cabinetry continues around the room, complemented by an induction hob, two ovens and a warming drawer. Flowing naturally from the kitchen is a seating area featuring a bespoke media wall with fitted cabinetry, the slightly lower ceiling creating a cosy atmosphere without losing its connection to the rest of the room.

Beautifully Practical

Tucked to the side, the dining area occupies its own intimate corner. Reached through a broad open doorway, it remains visually connected to the kitchen while feeling subtly separate. There is plenty of room for a dining table, with a wide sliding window and rooflight bringing in further light. The adjoining laundry room is a continuation of the kitchen, with matching Shaker-style cabinetry, ample storage and its own sink. A door provides convenient access outside and towards the double garage.

Room To Retreat

Nearby, the snug offers another wonderfully versatile space, and would work equally well as a playroom, study or television room. With a shower room immediately alongside, it also offers potential as an accessible ground-floor bedroom.

Rest Easy

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite is calm and generously proportioned, with light arriving from two aspects, a wall of built-in wardrobes and air conditioning for warmer nights. Its en suite is equally well considered, with both a bathtub and a separate walk-in shower. Beyond the family bathroom are two further generous double bedrooms, both with plenty of room for freestanding furniture, followed by a smaller fourth bedroom. The fifth bedroom is currently used as a home office and benefits from built-in wardrobes, making it equally well suited to life as a nursery, child’s bedroom or dedicated work-from-home space.

Follow The Sun

Outside, the rear garden has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of the day with different seating areas positioned to capture sunshine as it moves, allowing you to seek out a quiet morning coffee spot or settle somewhere warmer later in the day. Immediately outside the kitchen and sitting room, a generous terrace links directly with both sets of bifold doors, creating an easy extension of the living space and a natural setting for summer lunches, drinks with friends and family gatherings. Established planting softens the boundaries, while the garden feels pleasantly private and uncrowded by neighbouring homes.

Space For Everything

The detached double garage provides secure parking as well as extensive storage above, particularly useful for bikes, seasonal belongings and all the paraphernalia of family life.
