Magnificent Regency-inspired residence set within secure, gated grounds offering exceptional privacy and seclusion

Description

Situated within secure gated grounds offering privacy and seclusion, Touchstone has been recreated to emulate the grace and grandeur of a quintessential Regency property. The distinguished double fronted facade with its Corinthian pillars, sash windows and stately doorway offers a sense of arrival, while inside a spectacular interior is both refined and luxurious. Each and every aspect of its expansive 9,430 sq ft layout has been impeccably curated.

With the rich timber tones of an exquisitely carved bespoke staircase sweeping up to the galleried landings above, a majestic triple height central entrance hall unfolds via an abundance of double doors onto a wealth of impressively designed spaces in which to relax, dine and unwind. A succession of light filled rooms unite the charm of decorative wall panels, heritage patterns and cornicing with the subtle inclusion of Smart technology such as the integrated sound system giving the perfect blend of old and new. A stunning drawing room and adjacent sitting room open into an exceptional orangery with a trio of roof lanterns and wrap-around glazing to proffer a wonderful interplay with the gardens and swimming pool complex. A formal dining room connects with the landscaped terracing and a triple aspect study is equally notable.

The outstanding levels of specification continue in a double aspect kitchen/dining room which extends out via French doors into an outdoor kitchen that makes for fabulous al fresco entertaining. Superior Wolf appliances sit sleekly within British Racing Green cabinetry, while extensive marble countertops continue cohesively outside. Inside, a first class island has been impeccably chosen and a tremendous central column encased in burnished textured tiling houses a full height illuminated wine fridge and American style fridge freezer and gives delineation to the dining area. From the kitchen a utility room has access to a secondary staircase and integral garaging and a stylish large cloakroom completes this commodious ground floor.

An easy flowing extension of the main house, the bi-fold doors of the drawing room unfold onto a superb orangery producing a seamless connection with the terracing and the stunning swimming pool complex with its steam room and showers. Steps lead down to a bar area that reflects the interior design themes of the house. Opening once again onto the terracing it accommodates a central pool table making this a fabulous space for entertaining.

On the first floor a sumptuous principal suite takes centre stage with glorious garden vistas, a duo of fitted dressing rooms, opulent en suite bath and shower rooms and its own reception room. Two further double bedrooms have en suites of their own, while the secondary staircase allows you to create a self-contained annexe by leading up to a fitted kitchen area, shower room and double bedroom.

There are an additional two double aspect bedrooms stretching out across the top floor sitting to either side of a shared family shower room.

The capacious gardens have established lawns peppered and framed with inset beds full of lavender, feature shrubs and topiary.

The integral double garaging combines with a single garaging to the rear to provide you with off-road parking for numerous vehicles, and a second entrance gives direct access to the one bedroom annexe.
