An exceptional Arts & Crafts residence in 0.98 acres of private grounds tucked away in the highly desirable Knole Park estate with the benefit of no onward chain.
Occupying a privileged position within the exclusive private enclave of Knole Park, Knole Edge is a distinguished Arts & Crafts style residence offering over 3,250 sq ft of accommodation within beautifully established grounds approaching one acre. Originally constructed in the 1930s and designed with the character and charm of a much earlier period home, the property enjoys stone-faced elevations, a striking roofline, distinctive chimneys and an enviable setting overlooking the central green at the heart of this unique residential community.
A welcoming approach via the private driveway leads to a substantial detached garage and workshop before arriving at the house itself. Stepping through the front door, a magnificent panelled reception hall immediately sets the tone, centred around an impressive staircase rising to a galleried first-floor landing. The principal reception rooms extend off either side of the hallway, with an elegant drawing room of excellent proportions providing a wonderful space for entertaining and family gatherings, while the formal dining room offers a more intimate setting for dinner parties and special occasions. To the rear of the house, the generous kitchen/dining/family room forms the social hub of the property, perfectly arranged for modern family life with ample room for cooking, dining and relaxed seating. A separate utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor is equally impressive. A broad galleried landing leads to four substantial double bedrooms together with a fifth box room, ideal as a nursery, dressing room or home office. The principal bedrooms enjoy delightful garden and countryside outlooks, while the particularly spacious north-east bedroom offers excellent potential for the creation of an en-suite, subject to any necessary consents. The family bathroom is complemented by a separate shower room and additional WC. Doors open from the landing onto a covered balcony overlooking the rear gardens, woodland and distant Welsh Hills, providing a peaceful vantage point from which to appreciate the setting. Beyond the house, expansive lawns flow into a mature wooded backdrop, while a large terrace offers the perfect environment for outdoor dining and entertaining throughout the warmer months.

What I most like about Knole Edge is the rare combination of grandeur, character and privacy. The impressive galleried hall and elegant reception rooms create a wonderful sense of occasion, while the mature gardens, woodland backdrop and elevated views provide a feeling of seclusion that is increasingly difficult to find. Coupled with its outstanding accessibility to Bristol, Bath, London and the motorway network, this is a home that effortlessly balances country living with modern convenience.
