Description

Taking inspiration from period Elizabethan/Tudor architecture, the extensive triple-gabled property features superb timber panelling, leaded windows and handsome stone arched oak entrance doors. This luxurious residence is quietly situated behind double electric wrought iron gates, complete with ornate willow plaques, amid the countryside at the end of a peaceful private lane and directly next door to the championship courses of Frilford Heath Golf Club, the perfect hole in one for keen golfers! Reflecting the period charm of the exterior, inside Willowbrook pays homage to modern design without compromise. That's highlighted the moment you step into the radiant loveliness of the double height entrance hall, a grand flight of backlit solid oak stairs with glass balustrades rises to the first floor, bathed in natural light via the huge picture window which extends the depth of both storeys. It really is quite something. Daily life will naturally revolve around the fabulous living area which encompasses kitchen, dining room and a sunny garden room which opens onto a truly awesome decked terrace complete with sunken hot-tub overlooking protected woodland and meadowland. A spacious sitting room, state-of-the-art cinema room and a generous study complete the downstairs layout, while upstairs you'll find a luxurious principal bedroom suite with balcony and 2 dressing rooms, together with three further double bedrooms, one en-suite and family bathroom. But this remarkable property keeps on giving a superb 1,586 sq ft annexe complete with 31ft living area/kitchen, bedroom and shower room is located above the quadruple garage block which offers multiple options for the new owner. On arrival at Willowbrook the electric gates open onto a gravel drive which sweeps round to a courtyard where there's parking space for over 20 cars in front of the quadruple garage annexe and the house. To the left of the hall, the focus of the formal sitting room with ambient recessed lighting is the magnificent stone fireplace fitted with a woodburner, perfect for cosy family evenings or as a peaceful haven for the grown-ups and entertaining guests. To the right of the hall is the 19x17ft study with leaded bay window to the front and French doors to the access the decked terrace and woodland. For those who work from home, this generously-sized room can easily accommodate a couple of desks, perhaps three if desired. The open-plan living hub of the house occupies an entire wing extending to 53ft - and it's simply stunning. A door from the entrance hall opens into the kitchen and what a wow it is! The standout feature of this enviable kitchen, which has French doors that open onto the paved terrace and pond, is the huge central island with a four-stool breakfast bar, a second sink, wine fridge and an adjoining luxe granite cooking station with Neff induction hob and pop-up extractor. Willowbrook has been designed as a lifetime home and the pantry can be converted into a lift to the upper floors if needed later in life. In the adjoining dining area, there's plenty of space to comfortably fit an 8/10 seater table, ideal for families and those who like to a throw dinner party. A large utility room, with adjoining plant room with water softener, takes care of all the laundry duties while a door to the garden means muddy boots and damp dogs can be dealt with before they step into the house. A cloakroom with WC to the left of the staircase completes the downstairs layout. The guest bedroom has fitted wardrobes and boasts a boutique style en-suite, a further generous guest bedroom and family bathroom. A fourth double bedroom, currently being used a gym, completes the first-floor layout. All the bedrooms are generously sized, light and airy. The principal bedroom extends to 36ft and is an elegant and spacious retreat complete with his n hers walk-in wardrobes and dressing areas plus a delightful balcony overlooking the decking and fields beyond. The wood-panelled wall behind the bed lends a heritage feel while the en-suite bathroom has a seductive Moroccan vibe, clad in deep blue marble style floor and wall tiles with a sleek white stone resin freestanding bath tub, double washbasins and an enormous walk-in shower. Carefully thought through vanity storage is in abundance. This fabulous apartment could become income-generating long-term or holiday let, a wonderful granny or au-pair annexe, the bees knees of games rooms, a craft or hobby space, teen hangout, party room etc. The possibilities really are endless! The fantastic annexe above the four-car garage offers a myriad of options. It's all set up for residential use with a nicely fitted kitchen with quartz stone worktops, integrated fridge, dishwasher and cooking facilities. There is also the open-plan living area, a separate bedroom and shower room.
