Impressive family home on stunning 0.82 acre south-facing plot in premier private road.
This substantial home, located in one of Esher's finest private roads, impresses with its charm and character, elevated ceiling heights and delightful vistas out onto the gardens and golf course beyond.
Entering the spacious entrance hall, double doors take you directly through to the dining/reception room; a wonderful space in the heart of the home with beautiful fitted units, a large bay window and external access out to the terrace. To the right is the stunning galleried reception room with its floor to ceiling double height bay window at the far end and a further wall of windows with double doors providing direct garden access. A beautiful fireplace with a working fire provides the perfect focal point for the room. To the left of the dining area is the cosy sitting room characterised by a rather unique Swedish tiled wood burner, again with a bay window and external access. This room connects to the adjacent kitchen, decorated with beautiful stone flooring, which offers a plethora of storage with attractive cream units, black stone worktops and a huge central island above which a vast roof lantern floods the room with light. The adjacent breakfast area provides ample space for a large dining table and chairs.
A door at the rear of the kitchen leads to another entrance hall, which can be accessed from a secondary front door, from where the spacious utility room, boiler room and double garage can be reached. A second door leads to the family room; a most impressive galleried space with floor to ceiling views onto the swimming pool and beyond and direct access to the garden. This versatile room with a substantial vaulted ceiling has generous fitted cupboard space and wooden flooring. Stairs lead down to the vast games/cinema room with a useful kitchen and WC. The entire ground floor and basement benefit from underfloor heating, whilst a guest cloakroom and WC complete the accommodation on the ground floor.
The first floor is accessed via two staircases. To one side is the principal bedroom suite which enjoys a wonderful bay window offering spectacular views and a spacious en suite with bath, separate shower and sauna. It also has direct access on to the large balcony. Bedroom two, adjacent, is a generous double with deep built in wardrobes and a large en suite bathroom which can also be accessed from the landing. There is a large cupboard, currently used as a dressing room, also off the landing where nearby stairs lead to the second floor.
On the second floor a wonderful bedroom benefits from a balcony, where stunning views can be enjoyed, as well as access on all sides to useful eaves storage. Bedrooms three and four are located at the front of the property and accessed via the second staircase where you also have access to the gallery overlooking the family room.
Externally the exquisite south-facing landscaped gardens flow from a vast terrace which wraps around the rear of the property. Two sets of stone steps take you down to the pool area, framed at the rear by an outdoor kitchen and built in firepit, with the plant room and storage to the left. The pool is surrounded on all sides by ample paving and decking. A third set of steps leads down to the lawn which is beautifully bordered and interspersed by mature bedding with a gate at the rear offering direct access to the golf course, of which the owners of Mulberry House are a part owner. At the front of the property there is ample off-street parking on the paved driveway, in addition to the car port and double garage.

Houses on the south side of Clare Hill so rarely come available. Mulberry House is a wonderful family home, full of character and charm, and enjoys a beautiful south-facing garden complete with swimming pool. And, for the golf fan, the new owners become a part-owner of Claremont Park Golf Course which this property backs directly onto.
