Statement from the owners
We moved into Edgefield 12 years ago as for us, it had the best of both worlds – with only a 15 minute drive to the Central line, we had the City on our doorstep, however the views out over the rural countryside beyond the garden were completely unparalleled. This was always intended to be the house we stayed in for the foreseeable future and the high standard of the extensive renovations we have undertaken from the top down reflect this. The extras we added at no insignificant cost, such as the inbuilt air conditioning, the Neatsmith fitted wardrobes with LED lighting in the dressing room, Catchpole & Rye and Lefroy Brooks bath and fittings in the en-suite and cloakroom and the underfloor heating throughout the downstairs, were all designed to make this house a perfectly functioning family home. The loft conversion with its living area, two bedrooms and two bathrooms (one en-suite) made the perfect guest accommodation or an ideal independent ‘apartment’.
With regards to the downstairs extension – the skylights in the kitchen and dining area, Tadelakt plaster walls, Staffordshire blue brick fireplace and the outdoor pool/Jacuzzi area were all designed by Chris Dyson Architects in London. The architects also created the lighting plan for both inside and outside and the lights in and around the pool and Jacuzzi. In addition, the wall and floor lights by the wood burning stove, make our house a perfect entertaining space in both summer and winter. We also took the time to have the entire house rewired.
Moving on to the kitchen, no expense was spared when it was installed in 2021. A La Cornue cooker (gas and induction) and Wolf convection and steam ovens plus warming drawer, Sub-zero fridge freezer and Bluetooth speakers in the ceiling, all mean that with or without guests, we spend the majority of our time here.
Although we have made the difficult decision to move to be closer to family, we will genuinely miss Edgefield and truly believe it will be as much of a perfect fit for another family as it was for us.

The area offers a good selection of state primary and secondary schooling together with a wide range of independent schools.
