From magnificent fireplaces and south-facing gardens to a superbly crafted bespoke kitchen, this detached Edwardian house embodies all the grace and elegance you could hope for in a period property.
Within the prized environs of Waldens Park Road, its sympathetically extended 3-storey layout offers tastefully understated luxury throughout its spacious 3,630 sq ft. A duo of superb reception rooms and a study proffer ample versatile living space, while 6 bedrooms, 2 en-suites and a charming bathroom are ideal for a growing family.
Opening onto south-facing gardens landscaped to reflect the quintessential elegance of the property, the accomplished layout of this Edwardian house beautifully blends the original grandeur of it design with bespoke detailing and contemporary luxury. Thought to have been built circa 1910, today its tasteful palette of heritage hues is balanced by the richness of Amtico herringbone floors, and the enviable dimensions and flow of light are synonymous with the architecture of the era.
Behind a handsome double-fronted facade a central entrance hall instantly hints at the sense of space that lies within. The graceful turns of a traditionally large staircase are bathed in light from the original windows of intermediate landings, and a succession of exemplary rooms unfolds around you.
With their wide bay windows and picture rails, a duo of reception rooms proffer a wealth of space in which to relax and entertain. Rose blush walls in the living room perfectly pick out the colours of blinds made with Designers Guild fabric. The chimney breast incorporates a bespoke integrated home-cinema media unit with in-floor & in-wall Hi-Fi cabling for front, rear and subwoofer speakers and a French door offers easy access to the inviting south-facing patio.
Remaining respectful of the original bones of the house, an extended layout to the rear has been designed with outstanding aplomb creating a magnificent kitchen/breakfast room that everyone will naturally gravitate towards. Opening onto the patio, the large orangery is filled with light from a roof lantern and triple aspect glazing. An extensive array of hand-crafted Shaker cabinets have been spray painted in dark green and a subtle pink, and a range cooker nestles within the chimney breast beneath a classic canopy mantel extractor. The clever use of an antique mirror as a splashback bounces light around the space and the finer details of granite countertops, a drinking water tap and a selection of integrated appliances all make life that little bit easier.
A matching utility room has an original door to the side of the house and includes a ground floor cloakroom discreetly hidden out of sight.
Returning back to the entrance hall, the original design and placement of the turning staircase lends a tremendous sense of height and space to the house enticing you to explore the six bedrooms of the upper two storeys. With idyllic garden vistas, custom-made blinds and Cole & Sons woodland patterns, the restful principal bedroom has been subtly reconfigured to give space for the indulgent dimensions of a super king sized bed. Recessed wardrobes give ample storage without encroaching on the aesthetics and a luxuriously refined Perrin & Rowe en-suite pairs the timber tones of an original wood floor with a marble tiled waterfall shower and a heritage suite that includes an inset bathtub.
An adjacent bedroom with a wall of Shaker wardrobes could become a superior dressing room if preferred, and teenagers will love the privacy that a duo of rooms on the top floor will offer them. Whilst one has a modern en-suite shower room, the other has fitted wardrobes and opens into a substantial walk-in boarded loft/store room. Adding a charming finishing touch to this exceptional residence, an excellent family bathroom is arranged in sage green demi height wall panels and has a full sized bath with a folding screen and overhead shower.
The French doors of the kitchen/breakfast room and living room open to allow a beautifully landscaped south-facing tiered patio to become an easy flowing extension of the ground floor. Paved in Indian sandstone it stretches out generating a choice of generously large seating and dining spaces illuminated by voice activated lighting. A majestic oak tree lends dappled shade from the summer sun and inset flowerbeds add pops of colour and greenery.
Reaching out in front of you an established lawn gives children ample opportunity to play and a raised bed is stocked with the evergreen foliage of palms, shrubs and topiary. Further trees give privacy and seasonal interest, while the contemporary curves of a timber rose arch invite you down to an anthracite grey aluminium gazebo with glazed roof, a perfect spot for a covered seating area and outdoor kitchen or bar.
At the front of the property beautiful beech hedgerows frame the entrance to a substantial gravel driveway, parting to give a picture perfect glimpse of the period facade with its statuesque chimney stacks and characterful porch. Tucked to the side, an attached double-length garage with electric-roller door and loft space adds considerable storage and off-road parking space.
