Description
Redwood is an exceptional Queen Anne style property designed and built by Quinlan & Francis Terry. Quinlan Terry is the foremost post-war classical revivalist who is best known for his numerous country houses, including designing Brentwood Cathedral and refurbishing 10 Downing Street. The house was built in 1990 with the two elegant Regency style wings added in 2005, together with the detached 3 bedroom lodge, and also benefits from planning permission to create two additional dwellings with the grounds.
Internally, the house is superbly proportioned with elegant architectural features, and the principal reception rooms have glorious views over the established grounds.
The house sits in a commanding position overlooking its parkland grounds which open to far reaching views over the adjoining countryside.
The principal reception rooms comprise an impressive reception hall, a drawing room with a feature fireplace and doors to the terrace, a formal dining room/lounge, a formal sitting room, and two family rooms.
The stylish kitchen is fitted with a bespoke range of wall and base units with a range of integral appliances and an island incorporating a breakfast bar, with doors opening to the rear.
A well-appointed study, boot room/utility and two cloakrooms complete the ground floor.
Arranged over the lower ground floor is an impressive leisure suite comprising a games room/bar, a cinema, gym, kitchen/utility area, lounge, store rooms, a bedroom and shower room, all of which is ideal for entertaining.
The superb principal bedroom suite is arranged over the first floor and features a bedroom, dressing room and stylish bathroom.

The Lodge provides excellent ancillary accommodation and comprises a spacious sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom and three bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes and served by stylish en suite bathrooms/shower rooms.
Redwood is approached over a sweeping driveway which leads to the house and on to the garaging. The four bay garage has electrically operated doors with power and lighting connected. There is a brick built gardeners W.C. in the grounds.
A spur leads from the drive to a pole barn with a workshop to one side.
The established gardens and grounds provide a stunning setting to the house and feature a glorious lake.
The gardens are principally laid to lawn and interspersed with many varieties of specimen trees and shrubs, paths lead around the grounds, a part walled paved garden with ornamental pond and water feature, and a superb walled kitchen garden.
The kitchen garden measures about 0.6 of an acre and has fruit cages, a number of raised vegetable beds, an orangery, two substantial greenhouses and a workshop.
To the south side of the house is a generous paved area where the heated swimming pool is located. There is a further terrace stretching the width of the house and extending to provide a generous seating area where far reaching views can be enjoyed and ideal for al fresco entertaining.
