Description

This is an expansive and contemporary family home, situated within a secluded plot approximately 0.5 miles from the river, with lovely walks nearby. The house was built in 2007 and has been extensively renovated by the vendor, including full cosmetic redecoration and adding air conditioning. The build quality and standard of finish is exceptional throughout, from the underfloor heating across the ground floor, basement and first floor to the stunning kitchen, which is equipped with Miele ovens, coffee maker and induction hob, and an American-style Liebherr fridge freezer. The house is appointed with many premium features, including an alarm and CCTV system, and has an entire floor dedicated to leisure activities, featuring a swimming pool, games room and wine cellar, the latter accessed by a charming door made from wine crates.

With four floors of accommodation and more than 11,000 sq ft of living space available, the architecturally-designed home is perfectly equipped for entertaining and has a versatile layout that offers the option of an annexe ideal for multigenerational living. The three reception rooms on the ground floor are all fantastically spacious, and the imposing double height reception hall is a great space for receiving guests. Family life is centred around the stylish open plan kitchen, which has a big central island and an adjoining utility room for laundry machines. The library, with its extensive cabinetry, would make a great home office. The flexible layout offers three bedrooms on the ground floor, plus a bathroom, with a further four en suite bedrooms (including a 1200 sq ft principal suite with walk-in wardrobe and balcony) on the first floor, and two additional bedrooms on the top floor. The leisure floor is at basement level and is the highlight of the home, with an indoor pool and hot tub, gym, changing facilities, games room and wine cellar. There’s also a further bedroom and bathroom, and kitchen/sitting room which, combined with the three bedrooms on the floor above, could be used as an annexe.

The house is tucked along a quiet, private lane, accessed by electric gates which open to a vast driveway with ample parking and three further spaces within a detached triple car port. The garden is lawned and situated to the side and the front, bordered by mature trees and hedging which makes the plot feel very private. There are a number of balconies and seating areas, providing plenty of options for sitting and enjoying the landscaped gardens.
