Forest Ridge, Keston

Positioned within the coveted and securely gated Keston Park Estate, one of the South East’s most exclusive private residential communities, this exceptional home offers both seclusion and prestige. Conceived in 1923 by esteemed developer Frederick Rogers, who acquired the land from the Earl of Derby, Keston Park was inspired by the grandeur of American parkland estates. His vision was to create a unique enclave of luxury living, an ambition that endures to this day. With its benchmark reputation for privacy, elegance and timeless appeal, the estate remains securely gated at all entrances and is regarded as one of the region’s most desirable addresses.

This distinguished 1930s residence offers an immediate sense of arrival. A grand entrance hall, framed by a sweeping staircase, exquisite stone-tiled flooring and a vaulted ceiling, sets an impressive tone for the generous and beautifully arranged accommodation that unfolds beyond.

The principal reception rooms are thoughtfully positioned off the entrance hall, creating a seamless flow for both everyday living and sophisticated entertaining. The spacious formal living room, centred around a handsome gas fireplace, is enhanced by French doors that open to the landscaped gardens, filling the space with natural light. The heart of the home is a bespoke, shaker-style kitchen, complete with an integrated suite of appliances, a generous central island and extensive fitted cabinetry, perfectly designed for modern family living and relaxed gathering. An adjoining formal dining room provides a refined setting for memorable occasions, while a well-appointed utility room and guest cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, four generously proportioned double bedrooms are all luxurious en suite retreats, each featuring bespoke fixtures and elegant finishes. The principal suite is exceptional, offering extensive fitted wardrobe space with dual walk-in dressing rooms and a beautifully appointed bathroom, creating a sanctuary of calm and indulgence.

To the rear, the property opens onto an expansive terrace, ideal for al fresco dining and summer entertaining. Beyond, manicured lawns, mature trees and established shrubbery create a tranquil outlook and wonderful privacy. A charming stone-bordered stream winds through the grounds, while a stunning outdoor swimming pool forms a captivating centrepiece, perfect for both serene relaxation and elegant garden gatherings.
