With breathtakingly beautiful south-west facing gardens that have Italianate landscaping, a tennis court, gym and swimming pool, Amarna House sits nestled within capacious gated grounds that create a hugely seductive private enclave. A self-contained annexe sits above detached garaging while the accommodation of the main house stretches magnificently out over more than 4500sq ft with a duo of reception rooms, a snug, study, superbly appointed Shaker kitchen/breakfast room and spacious principal bedroom suite.
Nestled within the privacy of immense gated grounds of 2.33 acres, Amarna House engenders an exalted work/life balance with its detached gym, self-contained annexe, tennis court and swimming pool. Behind a picture perfect double fronted fa�ade of red brick and hung tiles, an exceptionally spacious layout opens onto heavenly curated south-west facing gardens at every opportunity.
Blending heritage hues with the eternal elegance of a central staircase leading up to a galleried landing, a magnificent entrance hall instantly hints at the sense of space and charm that unfolds around you. Double doors give a grand entrance to a duo of reception rooms where French doors forge a seamless connection with idyllic terracing. Filling your gaze with the colour and greenery of the gardens from the moment you step inside, whilst the impressively proportioned double aspect main room has the focal point of a wood burner within its fireplace, the second produces an enviable retreat with its tastefully styled fitted cabinetry and views.
Along the hallway a study is fully fitted with the warming tones of a solid wood desk and cabinetry, and together with the adjacent double aspect snug produces a vast degree of flexibility to cater to your own lifestyle needs.
With twin sets of French doors and a superbly fluid feel, a prodigious contemporary kitchen/breakfast room adds a natural central heart and hub where everyone can spend time together either as a family or with guests. Supremely well-appointed with crisp white Shaker cabinets topped with the classic contrast of sleek black granite, the wrap-around layout proffers a wealth of storage and workspace whilst housing a freestanding range cooker and American-style fridge freezer. Coloured glass splashbacks inject a playful pop of colour and a wonderful central island has a feature butcher's block, bar stool seating and an under-mounted sink. Generously sized, it gives delineation to the room whilst leaving ample space for a perfectly placed informal dining area in front of the French doors.
A matching utility room keeps laundry appliances hidden from view and two ground floor cloakrooms are an added bonus for any busy modern household.
The tasteful aesthetics and bucolic vistas continue upstairs where the galleried landing gives each of five double bedrooms their own sense of space. Producing its own wing of the house, a principal bedroom stretches out to further French doors that tempt you out onto a blissful south-west facing balcony overlooking the gardens. A fitted dressing room has an abundance of open modern storage and a deluxe en suite sees a freestanding roll top bath take centre stage on a raised platform while a glass framed shower has a ceiling mounted rose head and the clean line design of an inset linear drain.
Four further double bedrooms supply an ideal measure of flexible accommodation for a growing family. One has stylish modern wardrobes, another has a cleverly designed en suite bathroom. A smart family bathroom has a full sized bath with the heritage charm of a rose head shower above.
Accessed directly from either the principal suite or to the side of the galleried landing, a hidden second staircase guides the way up to the second floor where a sixth bedroom extends out over an outstanding 32'10ft. Deep eaves cupboards supply storage without encroaching on the significant floor space, natural light filters in via a trio of skylight windows and the almost 'secret' aspect of this tucked away room generates a host of possibilities as a playroom, cinema room, workspace or teenage den.

Supplying an enviable choice of spots for al fresco dining or the simple pleasure of an afternoon siesta, it incorporates an impeccable outdoor swimming pool while a timber pergola gives dappled shade when you want to recline and unwind after a swim.
Bordered by high evergreen hedging, these picturesque grounds reflect the grace and elegance of the house itself with an exemplary central walkway reminiscent of the formal design of an Italianate garden. Extensive lawns with central Box framed beds give you every excuse to take a stroll and explore your surroundings. Tucked away to the rear a working vegetable plot is somewhere that anyone longing to grow their own produce will love, while an enclosed full size tennis court sits within the peacefulness of an adjoining field. Its good to note the garden also benefits from a complete automated irrigation system with its own bore hole, which was installed at a considerable cost.
A detached timber framed gym has a wall of bi-fold doors and a decked terrace of its own, and a large detached workshop has an adjacent store with a WC. A machinery shed adds a considered finishing touch to this prestigious Saunders Lane residence.
