One of Banstead's original houses, the property was individually designed and built in 1904 in an enviable setting backing directly onto a lightly wooded part of Park Downs. Encompassed by its own grounds, the house is approached through a gated entrance and over a 250' driveway edged by mature trees and lawns, culminating in an area that provides ample parking. In 2008, the house was re-imagined and extensively remodelled that included increasing its overall height and adding a completely new roof. Ceiling heights to the ground, first and second floors are now generous and this refurbishment was extensive including new bathrooms, kitchen, windows and even interior doors. A substantial family home, the property has a perfect balance of both formal and informal living spaces which are also ideal for entertaining. There are seven spacious bedrooms, several having en-suites and a first-floor study or eighth bedroom. The beautiful gardens are a feature and include a wrap-round terrace and large, level lawns to the rear enjoying a South-West aspect. To the side in a sheltered courtyard, the heated and filtered swimming pool has an automated safety cover and there is a garden store or 5th garage, accessed through the 4th garage. An interior viewing is essential to appreciate this exceptional property.
