Significant portion of an impressive country house extending to over 7,000 sq ft in approximately 2 acres.
Coldharbour Hall is an exceptional period home dating from 1885 forming part of a Victorian country house. The property has a rich and interesting history, designed by the well-known Victorian architect Thomas Edward Collcutt who is best known for his work on several important buildings in London including the Savoy Hotel, Lloyd's Register of Shipping and the Palace Theatre. Coldharbour Hall was originally built for Thomas Sutherland, founder of HSBC and CEO / Director of P&O Shipping Company.
The main house offers circa 6,000 sq ft of spacious accommodation presented over three floors, well suited for family or multigenerational living. There are many period features one would expect from this era including generous ceiling heights, well proportioned rooms and large windows, as well as a number of original fireplaces, wooden floors and doors.
Of note, there is fibre internet and a high voltage electric car charging point.
The property is accessed via a substantial entrance hall which leads to an entrance hall which leads to an outstanding dining room with wood panelling, original decorative plaster ceilings and ornate fireplace with original marble and tiling with a large wood burning stove. From the spacious and light kitchen is access to the drawing room with open fireplace and the delightful veranda, enjoying breath taking views and a tranquil space to relax. The kitchen features wall and base units, a Nobel oven and plenty of space for entertaining as well as access to the rear garden and loggia.
The bedrooms are well planned and generous in size, arranged over two floors. The principal bedroom is wonderful with bay windows, built-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom.
Bedroom two has a private balcony with a four person hot tub enjoying spectacular far reaching views. There is a third double bedroom and a family bathroom across the hall.
Second floor accommodation comprises four further bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a study with separate en suite and an additional family bathroom.
Outside, the mature formal gardens have been well tended by the current owners and provide beautiful colours throughout the seasons, complemented by far reaching views to the south.
Coldharbour Hall is approached via a 0.5 mile driveway lined with mature rhododendrons. There is ample parking for several vehicles in the courtyard and the property has the benefit of an impressive modern style double garage with storage and an outside decking area to the rear. Additionally, there is a level lawn of approximately 1.7 acres, ideal for a family play area or other activities.

I love the history as well as the proportions of Coldharbour Hall which are consistent throughout the property. The southerly view is spectacular too.
