3 bedroom house for sale

8 Deanwood House is a fabulous three storey property occupying the major wing of a grand Victorian country house which has since been divided into a number of separate houses. The property is beautifully presented throughout with much of the original period detailing preserved and offers flexible accommodation with elegant, spacious rooms with good proportions, high ceilings and large windows. The attractive entrance hall with tiled floor leads through to a stunning 28’ wood paneled drawing room with an impressive bay window, beautiful fireplace, oak flooring and plenty of space for a formal dining area if desired. The large kitchen has been cleverly designed to make use of the original oak panels and cabinets along one wall, a magnificent marble central island/ breakfast bar and an array of classic painted wood units and modern appliances along the facing wall. It opens on to a conservatory/dining room which links perfectly to the terrace and garden beyond. Upstairs on the first floor is a majestic principal bedroom suite with a large bay window providing far reaching views of the garden and golf course beyond. Completing this suite is a dressing room with plenty of custom built storage leading through to a bathroom. There is a further generously sized bedroom, currently used as a TV/sitting room with custom built bookcases. The landing is presently arranged as a sitting area but was previously used as an office and has plenty of space for such. A secondary staircase leads up from this to a large bedroom which is currently used as an office, a second smaller bedroom and a big, marble tiled, bathroom.

Steps lead down from the terrace to a stunning garden which was designed by a Chelsea Silver medallist. The formal lawns are laid out with symmetrical beds containing old fashioned David Austin roses and lavender, edged with clipped box hedging and flanked by two rows of flowering cherry trees. The whole garden is surrounded by mature beech and hornbeam hedging and mature oak trees creating a secluded feel.
