Also connecting from the hall is a large cloakroom and separate wc. The family snug room is at the rear of the property and enjoys lovely views over the gardens. The day to day dining room and family breakfast room is the to the centre rear of the house, with a fabulous bay and glazed double doors leading onto the terrace and gardens. It is open through to the kitchen, supplied by Mowlem & Company, with stunning walnut cabinets, black granite worktops and a range of built-in appliances including a free standing cooking range and American refrigerator/freezer.

To the first floor of the house the first floor landing connects to its own study, which has a door onto the front terrace. The master bedroom suite has an en-suite dressing room and bathroom/wc with double wet room and sauna. There are three further double bedrooms to the first floor, all with walk-in dressing rooms and en-suite shower rooms.

This room would easily divide into two or three more bedroom suites if required. The detached double plus garage has its own studio above.



The property has a high quality central heating system, with quick recovery hot water cylinders and condenser boilers.

The gardens and grounds that surround 126 Runnymede Road are very much a feature of the property, with the rear terrace having its own built-in six/eight man hot tub. The terraces themselves are finished in Irish quartz stone with beautiful box hedging and superbly stocked borders. The rear lawned garden is ideal for families and runs down to a small terrace with a bridge to the central island within the River Pont.
