7 bedroom detached house for sale

A commanding mansion set high above its grounds with sweeping views over Surrey countryside. Description A striking, turreted modern mansion, this residence combines contemporary luxury with classic mid Georgian architectural inspiration, from its grand proportions to the specially commissioned ornate ceiling roses and intricate plasterwork. The approach to the house creates an immediate sense of arrival. Passing through the wrought iron gates, the sweeping driveway curves gracefully through the grounds. At first, only the elegant turret comes into view, before the full facade reveals itself, a design influenced by the celebrated eighteenth century architect John Nash. A raised formal garden with a walkway frames the front of the home. The impressive oak front door opens into a panelled entrance hall with a cloaks cupboard, leading through to the magnificent reception hall.

The drawing room offers an elegant setting, featuring a large bay window and double doors opening onto the beautifully landscaped gardens. The spacious dining room, complete with an adjoining servery, enjoys delightful garden views and access to the terrace, an ideal space for entertaining.

It is fitted with exceptional bespoke features including a plasma screen concealed behind a Chinese inspired painted panel, a humidor built into the bookcase, and a retractable computer screen integrated into the custom desk. The principal kitchen is beautifully appointed with marble work surfaces and handcrafted oak cabinetry. A walk in cupboard sits directly off the space, while double doors open into the glass roofed orangery breakfast room, a charming and informal spot to dine. On the opposite side of the orangery lies the superb indoor pool complex, complete with spa tub, two changing rooms, a cloakroom and an additional steam room.
