House For Sale £2,250,000
Encompassed by almost 2 acres of stunning grounds and gardens, Sandpit Hall offers a truly superb work/life balance with its swimming pool, tennis court and self-contained stables conversion, while the main residence retains a wealth of original charm and character. Dating back to the 17th century and thought to have once been an old coaching inn, today this striking property is tastefully presented throughout, creating a wonderful example of modern life in a period property.
Set back from a picturesque tree-lined road near to the historic village of Chobham, this impressive property is a highly versatile family home within a superbly tranquil and idyllic setting. From its 17th century beams through to the grandeur of the later Georgian rooms, there are an abundance of original features that sit effortlessly side by side with tastefully chosen contemporary design themes.
Behind its double-fronted red brick and timbered facade, the notable proportions of the central hallway with its richly toned engineered wood floor and crisp white walls hint at the amount of space this home has to offer. Beautifully light and bright, the distinguished drawing room generates an exceptional space to spend time together as a family or entertain friends. Beneath the cornicing of the high ceiling an open fireplace lends a classic focal point and elegantly styled cabinets sit within the chimney breast alcoves, while French doors make it easy to step outside and admire the marvellous gardens.
Across the hallway a wood burning stove gives a cosy feel to a double aspect family sitting/television room with its white washed walls and beams. Further along the hallway is a formal dining room which creates an instant wow factor with an inglenook fireplace and other period features. The original beams continue in the refined kitchen/breakfast room that is perhaps the heart of this home, and easily accommodates a large dining table. Well-appointed with an array of integrated appliances along with a traditional Aga and butler sink, its pastel blue wood cabinets provide an enviable amount of storage, while sleek black countertops add a contemporary twist and wrap-around to form a convenient breakfast bar. A separate modern utility room has space for your laundry appliances and leads the way to an accomplished annexe/family room that has a huge amount of versatility as a fantastic work from home space or an admirable guest bedroom with an en suite shower room. A charming study completes the ground floor and has access to the cellar.
The grace and grandeur of this wonderful home continues upstairs where natural light tumbles into a magnificently sized double aspect principal bedroom. Supremely graceful and sophisticated this notable room has a supremely calm and peaceful air, and a discerning en suite bathroom/dressing room lends a touch of luxury. Generously proportioned and equally well-presented, five additional bedrooms provide flexible family accommodation and share the modern family bathroom.
With the vibrant blooms of marvellous rhododendrons, expansive lawns, patio areas and statuesque trees that deliver an enormous feeling of privacy, the truly beguiling grounds that encompass Sandpit Hall offer a superior retreat from the hubbub of daily life. An outdoor swimming pool and tennis court supply the ideal finishing touches, and a sweeping gravel driveway provides off-road parking for several vehicles.
Perfect for multi-generational households or as a source of income, original stables have been cleverly and thoughtfully converted into first class self-contained accommodation that includes a stylish open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room and a large bedroom with an en suite shower room.
