London Road, Ascot, Berkshire

Forming the significant portion of this exquisite mansion house, South Court offers elegance and refinement, with a substantial 6,428 sq. ft of light-filled accommodation arranged over three levels. Providing a stately home perfectly suited to entertaining, whilst also offering the comfort of a modern living environment, the property showcases period characteristics alongside contemporary interior design. Lofty double doors at the entrance portal open into the generous reception hall which creates a grand sense of arrival and hints at the immaculate presentation on offer within this unique home. The convivial sitting/dining room features a curved external wall with floor-to-ceiling windows and two sets of double doors opening out to the rear terrace and garden, whilst a relaxed, drawing room is flooded with natural light courtesy of a roof lantern and glazed bi-folding doors which blur the boundaries between home, garden and skies. The adjoining kitchen/breakfast room is a bright and impressive space, featuring high quality, sleek cabinetry, stone work surfaces, a waterfall island unit and Gaggenau integral appliances including double ovens, steam oven, microwave, coffee machine, fridge/freezer, wine cooler, and induction plate with hot plate; there is also an informal dining alcove where the sunny south-easterly aspect can be enjoyed. The ground floor further comprises a utility room, two cloakrooms (one with outside access), and a spacious lobby, providing options for relaxation/recreational space.

A continuation of the impeccable décor and calming ambience is unveiled on the two upper levels, both of which may be accessed via a passenger lift. On the first floor is the sumptuous principal suite comprising a bedroom with the benefit of air-conditioning, a luxurious adjoining bathroom and a dressing room, along with a guest suite incorporating a light and airy bedroom, a dressing room and a bathroom. On the second floor, there are three further bedrooms, two with stylish en suite facilities, and a secondary kitchen enabling the option to provide an independent refuge at the top of the house.

An expanse of paved terracing adjoins the house, with a decked platform to one corner, offering opportunities for outdoor entertaining, dining and relaxation whilst taking in the south-easterly aspect and outlook over the delightful garden. Neat beds at the walled edge of the terrace are filled with floral and architectural planting and a series of steps leads down to an area of lawn which is framed by borders containing an attractive mix of specimen trees, colourful shrubs and perennial plants. A majestic conifer provides a statuesque feature to one corner of the garden, whilst a collection of sapling birch trees to the opposite corner showcase their striking white bark. A cool, shaded pathway, with decorative timber archways, leads through the verdant planting, linking the house and the detached triple garage, along with an area of parking just inside the secure, wrought-iron entry gates.
