Set discreetly behind private electric gates and tucked away within approximately 1.5 acres of secluded grounds, Canford House is an exceptional recently constructed family home, extending to approximately 8,300 sq ft in total, including outbuildings.

Designed and finished to an exemplary standard, this is a home that combines classical detailing with modern family living. Sash windows, decorative cornicing, tasteful wall panelling and carefully chosen finishes run throughout, creating a refined home of rare scale and quality.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors, with the main house offering approximately 7,300 sq ft of accommodation. A welcoming reception hall sits at the centre of the home, with a striking central staircase rising through the property to a gallery landing above. The layout presents a superb flow between formal reception rooms and the principal open-plan living spaces.

To one side of the hall is a beautifully appointed formal drawing room, featuring a fireplace and a characterful Crittall-style glazed wall and door, creating definition and a sense of openness and light.

The heart of the home is the impressive kitchen/dining/family room, a generous and beautifully proportioned space designed for modern family life. With ample room for cooking, dining and entertaining, it creates a natural gathering point and enjoys direct connection to the surrounding gardens. Practical adjoining spaces include a utility room, pantry, boot room, plant room, WC and storage.

The first floor provides an excellent range of bedroom accommodation. The principal suite is particularly impressive, with a large bedroom, dressing room, en-suite bathroom and access to a private balcony overlooking the grounds. There are further generous bedroom suites, many with dressing areas and en-suite facilities, providing superb comfort for family and guests.

These rooms include one of the home’s most memorable features: cleverly designed ladders leading up to secret den spaces above, creating a magical hideaway for children and a genuinely distinctive family detail. Across the house, a wide range of built-in storage has been thoughtfully incorporated, ensuring the home remains as practical as it is impressive.

The second floor adds yet more flexibility, with a large cinema/media room, bathroom and a further bedroom plus storage room.

Externally, Canford House offers an outstanding lifestyle setting. The plot extends to approximately 1.5 acres and provides a remarkable level of privacy, with the house set well back from the road behind electric gates. The gardens include a swimming pool, landscaped seating areas and a 4G-style artificial lawn/sports area, creating an ideal environment for family enjoyment and

entertaining.

In addition to the main house, there is a detached home office/garden room with WC facilities, offering excellent potential for self-contained annexe accommodation, subject to any necessary consents or adaptations. A substantial pool house/gym is complete with shower room and kitchen facilities, while a detached double garage provides secure parking and useful storage.

Canford House is a complete family lifestyle home of exceptional scale, privacy and specification, and stands as one of the largest and most impressive homes within the CM4 postcode.
