This striking residence, with its classic white façade and charcoal accents, seamlessly blends historic charm with contemporary luxury, creating a truly sanctuary-like environment for modern family living.
The approach begins at an elegant emerald-green entrance, where an arched fanlight welcomes you into a breathtaking reception hall. Here, timeless monochrome checkerboard marble flooring is complemented by a sweeping staircase and intricate ornate coving, establishing a tone of refined sophistication that flows throughout the home.
The living spaces are a masterclass in design, combining grand proportions with intimate detailing. The formal drawing room is bathed in natural light from expansive sash windows and features bespoke cabinetry alongside a marble fireplace, creating a warm and inviting focal point for entertaining.
At the heart of the home lies a vast, light-filled kitchen and breakfast room, thoughtfully designed for both enthusiastic cooks and busy family life. It showcases classic Shaker-style cabinetry, premium stone worktops, and the unmistakable charm of a traditional AGA. The bay-fronted dining area offers a seamless connection to the outdoors—perfect for morning coffee overlooking the grounds.
The principal suite is a true retreat, defined by its generous proportions and floor-to-ceiling views across the gardens. It is complemented by a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom. The upper floor also offers four further double bedrooms; one benefits from its own en-suite, while the others are served by a spacious and elegantly finished family bathroom.

Set within more than two acres, the grounds enjoy far-reaching views across level lawns and stone terraces. Fully enclosed by original brick walls and railings, the gardens provide a secure and private setting.
