Description

Imposing even when it was built in 1853 as a double-fronted detached home, it's now triple-fronted and set well back from the road with views across the heath, complete with gated entrance, ample parking, double garage and a meticulously-restored exterior. The grand entrance way with stained glass and beautiful corniced ceiling details leads through to an L-shaped triple reception space featuring Versaille oak parquet flooring, high ceilings, original fireplaces, ornate ceiling roses and cornicing. There is multiple access to the lower floors but the most inventive and fun is the concealed bookcase doorway, operated via one of the display books. This reveals a stairway lined with exposed brickwork and irrigated living wall spawning three floors. There is a study and access to the garage on the remainder of the ground floor and a spiral staircase leads you to the entertainment room upstairs and spa, orangery and kitchens downstairs. The entertainment room has fantastic views across the heath towards Canary Wharf and over the rear garden and features a double height glass topped void, exposed brickwork, bar area, high tech in wall gas fireplace, and unofficial rooftop terrace providing maintenance access to the twin commercial boilers. Downstairs is perhaps the most indulgent feature of the house in the shape of the hotel worthy spa. The spa benefits from a Himalayan salt sauna with infra-red treatment, further steam room with colour changing mood lighting, swimming pool with jet system, spa jacuzzi, two 3.5m linked cinema screens, state of the art sound system, which continues throughout the house, and seating area with bar. There is the option for a gym in this space if one removes the seating area, and the screens present an ideal cinema setting too. Opposite the spa, to the south of the house, we have an orangery with 4.5-metre high glass ceilings, exposed brickwork, wood burning stove, and Crittall doors leading to the expansive outdoor dining terrace or down the wide paved steps, past the koi carp pond down to the garden. The landscaped garden reaches 200 ft and faces south west. There is a terrace and entertaining area separate from the lawn with a viewing window pond separating this from the main garden. The lawn section of the garden boasts a wilderness meadow garden and a studio to the rear ideal for an home office or artist's studio. There is a generous walk-in pantry, utility room, wine cellar and laundry room. Staff quarters are to the east of this floor, comprising a large studio with kitchen, wet-room shower and toilet facilities with separate access from the front of the property and direct access to the rear garden. This area has also been designed to accommodate a wheelchair-dependent person, gaining access to the whole garden, dining, orangery and spa areas, and the whole of the ground floor reception rooms via the external lift. The principal suite on the first floor is undoubtedly the highlight, the same period features we saw in the reception, views over the fabulous gardens and heath, en-suite bathroom with reclaimed tub, separate rainfall shower, and discreet Japanese toilet. A walk through closet completes the suite; this can be accessed from both the main suite and the hallway. The first floor is complete with another main bathroom and bedroom. The top floor is self-contained with four more bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an additional kitchen. Ideal as a floor for growing children distinctly separated from the "adults" first floor.
