7 bedroom detached house for sale

A substantial detached family house in a private gated setting, with generous accommodation, mature gardens and excellent London links. Description Henley House presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached family residence occupying a discreet position within the established and well regarded Gilston Park Estate. The house forms part of a small private gated development and offers notably generous accommodation arranged over three floors, well suited to modern family life, entertaining and home working. Gilston Park itself provides a distinguished historic backdrop. The original Gilston Park country house is Grade II* listed and was built in 1852 for John Hodgson, in a Tudor-style country house manner, adding a strong sense of provenance to the wider setting of formal parkland gardens. The house is approached via private gated development entrance, with driveway parking leading to the triple garage and the main entrance. The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, from which the principal ground floor rooms are arranged. There is a formal sitting room, a separate dining room and a orangery that provides excellent natural light, giving the house excellent flexibility for both day-to-day family living and more formal entertaining. The kitchen is generously proportioned and incorporates a dining area, creating a natural everyday hub of the home. A study provides a useful dedicated work-from-home space, while a cloakroom and utility room complete the ground floor accommodation. On the first floor, the principal bedroom is a large double room with fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom with separate shower. The second bedroom also benefits from an en suite bathroom, while further bedrooms and a shower room provide comfortable family accommodation. The second floor adds further versatility, with three additional bedrooms, served by a further shower room, making the layout particularly well suited to larger families, guest accommodation or live-in help. Outside, the rear garden is attractive and established, with lawned areas and shrub borders, with an additional paddock area, providing extensive private outdoor space. The triple garage provides substantial storage and potential for development, a significant advantage for a house of this scale.
