Description

A handsome turreted modern mansion featuring traditional mid-Georgian inspired architectural proportions and details, right down to the specially commissioned, lavish ceiling roses and plaster decorations.

You are immediately struck by the approach to this property. Once through the wrought iron gates, you follow the gorgeous sweeping driveway. The property majestically unfolds as the drive approaches the house, initially only revealing an elegant turret. It culminates at the front of the house, inspired by the famous 18th Century architect, John Nash. There is a raised formal garden with a walkway.

You enter through the large oak front door which leads you into the panelled entrance hall with a cloaks cupboard. You open the door into the grand reception hall, fitted with oak flooring, ornate cornicing and striking pillars, this room really does create the wow factor to welcome guests.

The drawing room is an elegant space with a large bay window and double doors leading out to the lovely landscaped gardens.

The generous dining room has a useful adjoining servery, beautiful views over the gardens and access to the terrace area, the perfect place to entertain your guests.

The fine walnut panelled study, part of which is set in one of the turrets, offers superb gadgetry including a plasma television screen that can be hidden behind a Chinese-inspired panel painting at the touch of a button, a humidor built into the bookcase and a computer screen that, when not in use, can be skilfully accommodated within the bespoke desk.

The beautifully designed principal kitchen features marble topped work surfaces and bespoke wall and floor cabinets in oak. There is a walk-in cupboard directly off the kitchen. Double doors lead through to the glass roofed orangery/breakfast room that provides a charming informal eating area.

The indoor swimming pool complex lies to the other side of the orangery, with a spa tub to the far end. There are two changing rooms as well as a cloakroom and secondary steam room.

The family room and neighbouring secondary kitchen/utility room lie almost opposite the kitchen.

There is also air conditioning to certain parts of the property.

On the first floor is the circular galleried landing, this leads to the magnificent main bedroom suite which enjoys lovely views over the south facing gardens and Surrey countryside beyond. There are four guest suites positioned around the circular landing and two further bedroom suites off the secondary landing.

The gymnasium, with sitting area, is accessed through the main dressing room and in turn, provides access to the roof top terrace, complete with outdoor rain shower, and a fabulous sauna within a turret. Beautifully designed, there are ergonomic headrests, three-tiered seating and a specially fitted music system.

A secondary set of stairs leads up to the large loft area which provides excellent storage space.

The elevated rear garden is a true feature of this property and has been meticulously landscaped. There is a raised terrace running across the rear of the house with steps down to the immaculate semi-circular lawned garden with colourful flower beds and borders throughout. The perfect place to relax and unwind with the view whilst looking out to the glorious view, making this an incredible setting. To one side of the garden there is a Victorian style greenhouse. Beyond the gardens the grounds slope down to the golf course.
