House For Sale £5,500,000
This magnificent double fronted detached home is located on a sought-after residential road. Built in 1885, the property is situated on land that had formed the market gardens of the Royal Botanical Gardens. Over the last six years, the current owner has extensively renovated the property to a high specification and with exquisite attention to detail.
The property comprises 4,564 sq ft of superb accommodation over three floors plus a mezzanine, and its impressive proportions and superb volume offers excellent lateral living space for a family.
On arriving at the property, you are immediately impressed by the scale of the house and its period facade. An electronic vehicle gate opens to a driveway that provides parking for up to three vehicles and a front garden with attractive flowerbeds.
Pedestrian access is offered via a separate remotely-controlled gate.
On the left side of the property, there is a large garage with electric up and over doors, and an enclosed gated courtyard that provides additional outdoor options. The garage is connected to the main house and also has access to the rear garden.
On entry, a welcoming hall area leads to two generous reception rooms with high ceilings, original cornicing and bay windows, creating pleasant settings in which to entertain family and friends. Also, off the hall is a study which has bespoke floor-to-ceiling bookcases, display areas and cabinets forming a perfect environment for working from home.
To the rear of the property there is an open concept living space connecting the kitchen, family and dining areas. The elegant contemporary kitchen includes a sizeable island and further ample storage options. A notable feature is the aquarium that is aesthetically built into the wall between the dining area and front reception room allowing light to flow and the open concept to connect visually with the reception room.
Two sets of French doors provide direct access to the large rear landscaped garden. Adjoining the family area, along a second hallway is the seventh bedroom with en suite shower room and access to the patio through French doors, offering a superb option for nanny or visitor accommodation.

A utility room, cloakroom, direct entrance into the garage and access to the cellar complete the ground floor.

The mezzanine and top floors have a further three bedrooms and an additional shower room. All have generous proportions, two offer lovely views over the rear garden and the third has a vista to the Pagoda in the Royal Botanical Gardens. There is also access to a completely boarded loft space for additional storage.
The private and enclosed garden at the rear of the property is a wonderful environment in which to rest or entertain due to a delightful combination of mature trees, lawn, dining areas, patio and pergola seating areas and a children's tree house.
