Description
Tucked discreetly back from the leafy environs of Brunswick Road, secure electric gates open to reveal an impeccable gravel driveway framed by capacious lawns. Wrapped with the statuesque form of abundant trees, these breathtakingly idyllic grounds of circa 5 acres give an instant sense of the privacy and tranquillity on offer. Sweeping you down past the enclosed courtyard stable block with its clock tower and modern studio, its culminating curve takes you to the immense canopied entrance and discerning architecture of the main residence.

Leaded windows, chimney stacks and hung tiles are sympathetic to the local vernacular, while inside a plethora of beautifully considered spaces unfold from the grandeur of a central entrance hall where an exquisite solid oak staircase reaches up to a galleried landing.

With the understated luxury of a pared-back aesthetic and deft use of double doors flowing cohesively, the ground floor is dominated by a series of four exemplary reception rooms interconnecting with a fluidity perfectly curated for family life. Finishing touches such as the integrated speaker system have been incorporated with both subtly and functionality.

Triple aspect and filled with garden vistas, a refined drawing room unfurls over a superb 32’10ft with the beautiful brickwork of an exceptional inglenook fireplace. French doors tempt you out onto the reposefulness of the terracing, while inner double doors open into the formal dining room with elegant decor. It’s here that an expanse of glazing with further French doors is perfectly placed to let the gardens add a majestic backdrop and the terracing to engender a seamless extension of the space.

Ideal for entertaining, this inviting space leads in turn to the open plan design of an outstanding kitchen/breakfast room with its own additional dining area and adjoining cinema room. Free flowing with abundant French doors that conjure a graceful wow factor with their high arches, the layout is both quietly understated and richly sophisticated. The cohesive use of curves is deftly matched by the fitted bench seating of the breakfast room and the notable craftsmanship of an elongated island in the kitchen where a duo of under-mounted sinks is paired with spray and hot water taps. Shaker cabinetry topped with granite lends a pop of colour and warmth with its teal blue and solid wood hues, and a first class array of integrated Gaggenau appliances includes eye-level ovens, a warming tray and American style fridge freezer. A bar stool overhang enhances the social feel of the room further still, while the glass roof of the hugely versatile dining area lends a wonderful measure of voluminosity to a stunning living space that sits in perfect harmony with the bucolic setting. Each set of French doors lets life filter freely out onto the terracing and the inclusion of an adjoining cinema that’s supremely well-appointed demonstrates an understanding of how a contemporary family home should flow. Ideal for everything from a family film night to entertaining friends, its positioning means that it can become an integral part of the living spaces or remain discreetly hidden from view.

An additional study with its own feature fireplace is a peaceful place in which to work from home and a utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor of the main residence.

Attached to the house, a commendable self-contained two storey annexe with one double bedroom, an en suite shower room, fully fitted Shaker kitchen/diner and generous sitting room prompts a host of possibilities for guests, staff, independent multi-generational living or as AirBnB accommodation.

However, the inclusion of a stylish modern music room accessed from both the driveway and triple garaging will be adored by professional and budding musicians alike.

The enviable sense of light and space continues upstairs where focal point glazing reaches up to the double height ceiling of the galleried landing. All around you the panoramic vistas of the grounds and gardens echo throughout each and every one of six double bedrooms.

Set to one wing, an immaculate principal suite is tastefully deluxe in its aesthetic and spacious in its dimensions. Framed by full height leaded windows, French doors open onto a Juliet balcony capitalising on the picturesque pastoral views. Deep fitted wardrobes supply a wealth of storage and a considered en suite has the romance of a double ended Chatsworth slipper bath along with a glorious ceiling mounted walk-in waterfall shower arranged in a refined tile setting.

Teenagers will make a beeline for the impressive large second bedroom with its luxuriously chic en suite bath/shower room, two further bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom, whilst another has an en suite that can also be accessed from the hallway.

Step Outside

Cocooned within the leafy greenery of securely gated grounds of circa 5 acres, Sheets Heath Farm prompts an undeniable feeling of privacy and seclusion, hidden from the world by the natural beauty of statuesque trees. The wrought iron gates benefit from video entry and the distinguished red brick of their pillars is topped with stately lantern lighting and extends into the high walls that encompass the capacious front lawns.

To the rear of this prestigious country retreat the array of French doors immerses the ground floor with halcyon panoramas. The timeless simplicity of a vast lawn reaches down to the adjacent paddocks, defined by rustic farm fencing that when sitting enjoy al fresco entertaining on the large terracing lets your gaze wonder uninterrupted to the bordering woodland trees that give a cherished degree of seclusion.

For equestrian families there is a superior stable block with a quintessential clock tower. Set within an enclosed courtyard it has easy access straight down a dedicated portion of lawn to significant paddocks for riding and grazing.

Making a clever use of space and producing ample flexibility to cater to your own needs, the block is finished by a considerable modern studio that’s fully powered. Currently used as a photography studio with bi-fold doors opening onto the gardens, it could easily become a dedicated home office, gym or teenagers hideaway.

Together with the sweeping gravel driveway, attached triple garaging with its own utility room provides secure off-road parking as well as the potential to extend and reconfigure the music room if needed (STNC).
