Description
This comfortable and light-filled family home was originally built in the early 1970s for a local G.P. who, within hours of the plot becoming available, secured it with a pre-emptive down payment. His enthusiastic determination was fired by his vision of the possibilities offered by this sylvan setting.
The house was designed to make the most of the views – previously part of the pleasure grounds of a fine Edwardian country house, “Coombe Court” – which sat on this very same site, a Japanese-style ‘tea house’ where Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, among others, were entertained.
Summerhouse has since been substantially extended and fully modernised, to create this stunning and exemplary family home, filled with light and views from all rooms onto gardens, the lake and elevated views from the terraces across Surrey.
The clever use of wood throughout the house, offers luxury but also simplicity, with modern en suite bathrooms and shower rooms with fully tiled walls, floors, and high quality HANSGROHE sanitary ware. The kitchen boasts a wide range of oak panelled wall and base units, with a SIEMENS range of integrated appliances, comprising a built-in oven, microwave oven, tall fridge and 2 base freezers, gas hob with stainless steel extractor hood over and dishwasher. The island continues with the CORIAN surface and incorporates the stainless steel sink with mixer tap. The open plan kitchen/dining and elevated family area benefits from underfloor heating with radiator panels to the rest of the house.
The entire house benefits from high quality aluminium framed windows with double-glazing, LED lights and oak flooring. The utility room, on the garden level, offers similar high quality units as with the kitchen, and incorporates a SIEMENS washing machine and tumble dryer, with access to the Indian Sandstone terrace. The vast decked areas are laid with Douglas Fir wood, which is hard wearing. The external newly rendered walls have been insulated, as with the flat roofs.
Externally, the gardens have been re-landscaped to increase the lawn areas yet retained the mature shrubs and bushes. A new block paved forecourt was created to the front to off street parking in addition to the enclosed garage and boiler/cycle storeroom. The property now further benefits from CCTV cameras around the perimeter of the house with LED lighting.
Overall, a stunning house for the minimalist and for those who enjoy seclusion and a bright home with a lake view, 8 miles from the West End.
