House For Sale £2,995,000
A beautifully proportioned and tastefully presented detached family home with generous parking and a delightful garden, backing directly onto The St Margarets Pleasure Gardens
Description
This architecturally beautiful double fronted detached Victorian family home is located on the much acclaimed St Margarets Trust Grounds, to which it enjoys direct access. These grounds, also known as The St Margarets Pleasure Gardens, are comprised of around 12 acres of gorgeous communal parkland for the exclusive use of the residents backing onto them. As well as featuring seasonal tennis courts and a lake the gardens host various social functions for their residents throughout the year, including a children's sports day, a sixties night, a bonfire night, carol singing, a barn dance and a jazz picnic.
The property has been tastefully renovated and thoughtfully extended to provide generously proportioned and laterally configured accommodation that lends the house superbly to both family life and more formal entertaining. There is an excellent flow of natural light due to the large windows and beautiful open aspects over the Pleasure Gardens. Our clients have been very careful to retain and enhance the period integrity of the house, with a number of period features such as high corniced ceilings, several fireplaces, exposed timber floorboards and a most elegant staircase. Also of particular note is the fabulous cinema/games room to the lower floor which provides an incredible informal entertaining space and has a very contemporary feel, with its polished concrete floors and open plan layout. To the ground floor there are four further reception areas including a stylish kitchen/family room, whilst upstairs there are six well proportioned bedrooms served by four bathrooms and a dressing room. There is a delightful and well established garden to the rear of the house that has a gate leading directly onto The Pleasure Gardens, whilst to the front of the house there is a large walled driveway that is gated and provides secure off street parking for several vehicles, in addition to the garage.
Location
St.Margarets village is within approximately half a mile and has a charming atmosphere, as well as an excellent selection of shops and a mainline train station with a direct service into London Waterloo. St.Margarets also boasts beautiful Marble Hill Park, adjoining a particularly scenic stretch of The River Thames.
