Discover the scale and character of Camelot, Sparken Hill...

Camelot

Set within just over an acre of beautifully maintained grounds on prestigious Sparken Hill, Camelot is an exceptional Arts and Crafts home dating back more than 100 years. Rich in original character and architectural detail, it combines elegant five-bedroom accommodation with a converted cellar, link-detached annexe, extensive outbuildings and remarkable flexibility for modern family life.

Arrival and Grounds

Electric wrought iron gates open onto a sweeping driveway, gradually revealing the house through mature trees. The private approach creates an immediate sense of scale, elegance and seclusion.

Entrance Hall and Cloakroom

The original front door opens into an impressive entrance hall with oak flooring and large windows that fill the space with natural light. The working Butler’s Bell provides a charming reminder of the home’s history, while the central layout connects the kitchen, drawing room and formal dining room. A ground-floor cloakroom completes the space.

Drawing Room

The elegant drawing room is centred around an original fireplace fitted with a multi-fuel stove. Windows on two elevations, including a magnificent full-height bay, provide abundant natural light and beautiful garden views. Its generous proportions offer ample room for entertaining and even a grand piano.

Formal Dining Room and Loggia

Oak flooring and an original fireplace bring warmth and character to the formal dining room. A wall of original glazed doors and windows opens onto the covered loggia, where a black and white tiled floor celebrates the home’s Arts and Crafts heritage. Beyond, the terrace creates a natural extension for summer entertaining.

Kitchen and Snug

Handcrafted by Utopia of Newark, the bespoke kitchen features granite worktops, a tiled inglenook and a comprehensive collection of integrated appliances, including a double oven, combination microwave, induction hob, professional dishwasher, fridge and Quooker tap.

A lower breakfast bar provides an informal space for children, casual dining and conversation. The adjoining snug features oak flooring, a bay window and an original fireplace with a multi-fuel stove, creating a warm and relaxed heart to the home.

Pantry, Utility Room and Boot Room

The walk-in pantry retains its original cold slab and provides excellent storage. The adjoining utility room includes floor-to-ceiling shelving, laundry connections and a traditional suspended drying rack.

Bespoke sage green cabinetry equips the boot room for coats, footwear and outdoor essentials. Slate flooring continues throughout these practical areas, while a side door provides convenient access to the driveway and gardens.

Main Staircase and Landing

The handcrafted central staircase is one of Camelot’s finest original features. Distinctive heart motifs within the balustrade reflect the craftsmanship of the Arts and Crafts movement, while large landing windows fill the staircase with natural light.

Principal Suite

The principal suite has been reconfigured to create a luxurious private retreat comprising a bedroom, en suite and dedicated dressing room.

The bedroom includes hardwood flooring, an original fireplace and triple windows overlooking the gardens. The spacious en suite features a bay window, freestanding bath, walk-in shower and separate WC. Bespoke fitted storage and further garden views complete the dressing room.

Second Bedroom

Positioned on the rear elevation, the second bedroom is a generously proportioned double with a bay window overlooking the gardens. Solid wood flooring, an original fireplace and fitted wardrobe retain its period character.

Third Bedroom

The dual-aspect third bedroom is bright and spacious, with handcrafted fitted furniture and a charming window seat overlooking the gardens. It is well suited to use as a bedroom or guest retreat.

Fourth Bedroom

Currently arranged as a guest room, the fourth bedroom overlooks the sweeping front driveway. It includes an original fireplace, fitted wardrobes and a remote-controlled Velux window.

Fifth Bedroom

The fifth bedroom offers flexibility as a nursery, dressing room, home office or additional bedroom. Existing plumbing provides the potential to create an en suite serving the adjoining fourth bedroom.

Family Bathroom

Traditional black and white tiling complements a freestanding bath, spacious rainfall shower, vanity wash basin and heated towel radiator, combining period styling with modern practicality.

Home Office and Secondary Staircase

A dedicated home office on the front elevation benefits from excellent natural light and floor-to-ceiling shelving.

A secondary staircase provides independent access to the fourth and fifth bedrooms, creating the potential to form a separate area for guests, older children, an au pair or multi-generational living, subject to any necessary consents.

Main Loft

The substantial main loft offers considerable potential for conversion into further bedrooms, a principal suite or additional living accommodation, subject to planning permission and building regulations.

Lower Ground Floor

The tanked cellar has been converted into a versatile entertaining and family space. It includes a fully equipped kitchen, currently used as a games room, together with a dedicated wine store, wet room and additional storeroom.

Direct access leads into a secluded sunken courtyard, with steps connecting the lower ground floor to the main gardens.

Link-Detached Annexe

Reached through a covered walkway, the annexe provides valuable independent accommodation. Its principal room is currently used as a spacious home office and is supported by a shower room and separate WC.

A generous loft above offers potential for conversion into further accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions, allowing the annexe to become a self-contained guest suite, multi-generational residence or independent workspace.

Garaging and Outbuildings

The outbuildings include a substantial double garage, dedicated gym, car port with inspection hatch, two garden stores and a log store. Together, they provide extensive space for vehicles, storage, hobbies and outdoor equipment.

Gardens and Kitchen Garden

Extending to just over an acre, the south-west facing grounds have been carefully designed as a series of spaces for relaxation, entertaining and family life.

Sweeping lawns and mature borders lead to a wildflower meadow and wildlife pond. A fairy-lit seating area provides an inviting setting for summer evenings, while power and water points are positioned throughout the gardens.

A sunken trampoline is integrated into the landscape. The productive kitchen garden, berry bushes and established fig, apricot, pear and apple trees provide an abundance of homegrown produce.

For those with an eye on the future there is potential, with the appropriate planning consents to develop a plot at the end of the garden. Ask our team for details.
