Description

Heatherside House was the original manor house, after which the local village is named. The main house exceeds 2,700 sq ft internally, with four bedrooms, multiple reception rooms and modern fitted kitchen. Designed and built for an eccentric millionaire in circa 1850, Augustus Mongredi, originally occupying 300 acres of garden designed by Gertrude Jekyll. A distinctive landmark on Heatherside is the majestic avenue of 218 Redwood Wellingtonia trees which were planted in 1865 by the gardeners who worked at Heatherside House.

Approaching the property, you are greeted by large ornate electric gates. The driveway is bordered by what is believed to be the original and substantial old London red brick 12 foot wall and pillars which provide a dramatic entrance to the estate. There is sufficient space for eight cars, including a further 345 sq ft garage, currently used as a gym and storage.

Light pours in from dual aspects in all expanses of the house which lends itself to the extensive renovations, respectfully undertaken by the current owners throughout the previous fourteen years. The House comprises a striking vestibule entrance leading to a vast proportioned drawing room with French doors opening onto a spacious terraced area and established rear private garden. Vintage oak engineered floorboards extend underfoot to the majority of the ground floor, with the dining room and cinema rooms set to the front of the house. The fully fitted kitchen has been completely renovated in the two years with extensive storage and pantry.

On the first floor there is a principle bedroom with walk in wardrobe and en suite, accompanied by two additional double bedrooms decorated with large built in hall storage and a modernised New York warehouse style family bathroom On the second floor is a further double bedroom with fitted storage.

The mature and landscaped garden has a spacious terrace ideal of al-fresco dining and enjoys a southerly orientation. To the rear of the lawn area there are boarders enclosing on to a kitchen garden.
