Alderwood House is an impressive and imposing property that was constructed between 2012 and 2014 on a substantial portion of the formal grounds of the historic 500-acre Redleaf Estate. Whilst the house was largely complete, the current owners took on the task of restoring the historic gardens, grounds and ancillary buildings and have spent substantial amounts of time and money restoring these and upgrading the house.

Whilst the house is constructed of traditional materials including sandstone walls, wooden windows and slate roof, the house benefits from a modern layout suited to today's style of living and includes contemporary features such as Cat 5 cabling, Control 4 media systems, Airsource heating, Solar power with Telsa battery back-up, recycled water irrigation systems and up to date standards of energy efficiency.

The accommodation extends to over 6,700 sq ft, arranged over three floors, the space is well balanced between formal and informal living. The rooms feature impressive features such as high ceiling heights, stone fireplaces and floor to ceiling windows which fill the rooms with light. The principal reception rooms comprise Drawing Room, Family Room, Breakfast Room/Dining Area and Sitting Room. Also accessed off the ground floor is the basement, which houses the Cinema with a Sony 4k Cinema projector with 7 main speakers and 1 bass woofer unit. In the basement is also a games area, and the remarkable 600+ bottle capacity, climate and humidity-controlled wine cellar.

The large Chamber designed open-plan kitchen/dining room is well equipped with a central work island and fitted Gaggenau, Miele and Bosch appliances, Fisher & Paykel dishwashers, Sub-Zero fridge freezers and a Quooker hot water tap. The kitchen is filled with light with double doors leading out to the rear garden terrace. Situated next to the kitchen is the utility room and larder.

The quality finish is evident throughout, and the interiors were designed by the Helen Pink Interiors – featured this year as one of the magazine Country and Town House's 'Seven brilliant interior designers to have on your radar in 2022'. The house is well served with exceptional accommodation, benefiting from five generous bedrooms all with en suite bathrooms. The principal bedroom suite has a large dressing room and a south-facing balcony which provides glorious views over the park-like gardens.

To the South of the main house, located within the grounds and facing the beautiful walled gardens, is the large two-bedroom cottage constructed of brick under a tile hung roof and comprising two double bedrooms, kitchen dining sitting room, and family bathroom. The cottage has both underfloor heating and air-conditioning. The property enjoys a private south-facing terrace.

The gardens and grounds are an important feature of Alderwood House, the property is beautifully positioned surrounded by its formal gardens with mature trees and shrubs and extensive grounds. Privacy is provided by the 12.78 acres in which the house sits.
