THE PROPERTY
A prominent house and landmark building found at the entrance to the historic High Street. With an opulent interior this impressive Victorian home offers over 3,300sq/ft of accommodation, a gated driveway and delightful landscaped gardens including outside dining space, hot tub and gym.
Grand proportions, tall ceilings, the distinctive portico entrance and many bespoke design features all enhance this sumptuous property's rare appeal, as does the setting within a Conservation Area featuring wooded views to the rear. Offering generous 'on-trend' living which prioritises space and open-plan areas over simple room numbers, the house is extensively and beautifully renovated to an exceptional standard in recent times.
Superior designer fittings create a luxurious boutique hotel atmosphere with the Mark Wilkinson kitchen including Gaggenau appliances and a rich Farrow & Ball colour palette flowing throughout the house. Also designer wallpapers, a professional grade steam room, smart toilets, underfloor heating to some areas and John Cullen lighting will further impress, as will the versatility of the house for both family and guests.
Notably both sitting room and dining room are over 30' (10m) in length, and the high-end fully fitted kitchen opens directly to gardens which successfully extend the living space in warmer months. The top floor master suite is also pure indulgence with its own lounge area, dressing room and spectacular en-suite bathroom. Other bedrooms include one with a private elevated Sun Room, plus an ideally placed Guest Suite and further guest cloakroom.
Moving outside, the expertly landscaped level gardens are beautifully presented and well screened with pleached trees providing graceful outdoor living. There is a mixture of natural stone paved areas and artificial lawn plus a dining Pergola featuring power, lighting and heaters. Plus a gym area utilising the old garage, hot tub and separate outdoor shower. To the front a gated forecourt affords secure off-street parking for two cars which completes this exceptional home.
