Heathfield Avenue, Ascot, Berkshire

With its distinctive architecture and stately presence, Candlemas offers stunning interior design and stylish presentation with elegant, light-filled accommodation perfectly suited to both hosting guests and modern family life. The reception hall provides a sense of arrival with gleaming marble flooring and a grand bifurcated staircase which features ornate balustrades and scroll handrails.

Ground floor rooms are accessed from the central hallway and comprise five reception rooms, including a refined drawing room and a formal dining room, along with an impressive kitchen/breakfast room. Extensively fitted with quality cabinetry, the kitchen features integrated appliances and an island unit which forms a subtle divide to the adjoining breakfast area, offering a relaxed convivial hub which extends into the linked family room. Ancillary space is provided by the adjacent utility room which incorporates a larder and offers a home to domestic appliances.

The spacious first floor landing leads through to a sumptuous principal bedroom with two en suite dressing areas and two beautifully appointed bathrooms. There are two further en suite bedrooms at this level whilst the upper level is host to a bedroom with an en suite shower room, two dressing rooms, a smart family bathroom, and a 30 ft. media/games room that could be utilised as a 5th bedroom. There is also self-contained supplemental accommodation in the form of annexe quarters on the floor above the garaging.

The entrance to the property is marked by brick-pillars with wrought-iron gates opening onto an expanse of paved driveway which provides parking for numerous vehicles in addition to the triple-garaging. Low-level manicured hedging and topiary shrubs in the beds to either side of the grand portal provide an attractive display at the frontage of the home.

The rear garden enjoys a southerly aspect and is beautifully designed with paved terracing spanning the rear of the house, edged by stone balustrades and brick pillars; direct access from reception rooms provides a seamless link from the inside to the outside and offers the perfect space for al fresco entertaining and relaxation. Areas of lawn are framed by borders of attractive specimen trees and mature shrubs, with a central pathway.
