6 bedroom detached house for sale

Tenure: Freehold

WATERSIDE - White Place as it is today was formed by the merging of White Place with adjoining Orkney Cottage, being two of the three dwellings within the original larger building which we believe to have been the home of Lord Burnham founder of the Daily Telegraph newspaper. White Place now forms the principal part and has been extensively refurbished and provides spacious and beautifully presented accommodation.

A wide verandah wraps around two sides of the house with the front door opening to a vestibule. From here an arch leads to the wonderful reception hall with parquet flooring, arched display cupboard and elegant staircase rising to the galleried landing with magnificent domed roof light above. The drawing room is pine panelled to full height with parquet flooring, wide bay window with bench seating and a fireplace with carved surround and marble hearth. Beyond the fireplace is a study area with arched doors and windows to the gardens. The dining room is approached via double doors from the reception hall, is double aspect with a bay window, corner fireplace and double doors to the library. The kitchen/breakfast room has a range of working surfaces, drawers and cupboards, Belfast style sink, range cooker with extractor hood, dresser unit with glass doors, wood strip flooring and stable door to the courtyard with fully fitted utility room, gardeners w.c and storage sheds. The breakfast area with Victorian style fireplace overlooks the rear garden. Also on the ground floor is the rear staircase hall with limestone floor, cupboard with trap door access to the cellar, cloakroom and family room.



On the first floor is the spacious double aspect master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom with both bath and shower. There are five further bedrooms and 3 further bathrooms (1 en-suite).
