Tanglewood was originally conceived in 1932 by notable architect, Alfred Cornelius and the house has been sensitively refurbished and remodelled to create a luxury country house for a contemporary family, retaining some of his signature features, including distinctive window apertures and low roof lines. Solid, double gates gently open to reveal the impressive two storey home, set within mature native trees with its stilted and slate tile hung Porte cochère framing the main entrance. The drive flows beyond the front of the house to a turning court and an extensive, two storey garage building. Many of the building's original external and internal features remain intact and the home has been recently renovated to the highest standards, creating a stunning and welcoming home.

Ground Floor - The impressive entrance hall flows through into a sequence of striking reception spaces, with surrounding garden views and light pouring in from three sides. These sumptuous, coastal themed rooms focus on the feature stone fireplaces, fine cabinetry and the David Salisbury conservatory beyond, to create an opulent, yet cosy series of entertaining spaces. The L- shaped reception space flows from sitting area to dining area and double French doors on to the terrace. A secondary door leads back into the hall and onto the Sitting Room and kitchen areas; the 'heart' of the home. The Sitting Room is a haven for relaxation with muted pastel tones and a stone framed fireplace. A faux bookcase to one side of the fireplace conceals a deep cupboard and media screen. A contemporary cloakroom is to the left of the Kitchen entrance. The Shaker style kitchen, featuring polished local 'butter' granite work surfaces has a central island, surrounded by plenty of below counter and wall mounted cabinets with a range of fitted appliances; two Miele fan ovens, a steam oven, a Miele microwave, gas hob together with a four ringed induction hob, a Miele hood extractor, a double full height fridge/freezer unit, an integrated Miele dishwasher and double sinks. A linked space to an informal dining area and laundry/pantry which houses a mile washing machine/tumble dryer an integrated Miele full length freezer and Miele full length fridge. This area creates a cosy hub at the core of the house.

Beyond the kitchen, is a surprise, the Garden Room a double height, beamed room, opens into the eaves with an extensive glazed eastern façade. The room focusses on a contemporary gas fire and a curved bar area, together with contemporary book shelves. At the centre of this bar, the glazed floor opens up views into a dressed stone well to reveal the property's own water supply. This incredible room is full of fun and sun, a place for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying the garden. The glazed wall slides open to allow the space to flow seamlessly to the outside lounge on the flag stone terraces and to the swimming pool down a flight of stone steps. Beyond this room is another laundry room with ample fitted storage units and the pool shower room for use after swimming. Another door opens from the Garden Room onto a cloakroom and kitchenette which can be accessed directly from the front drive and links through to the garage. At the rear of the garage is a covered and lit storage area and a side path leads down to the pool plant room that is housed under the patio. Back to the main entrance hall where you will find a cloak cupboard and striking bathroom alongside a restored, turning staircase ascending to the first floor.

First Floor - Upstairs a linear corridor leads into four generously sized bedrooms and three bathrooms one being ensuite. The luxurious principal bedroom with a feature four poster bed (not included within the sale) is saturated with light from three sides, with views overlooking the enclosing gardens and up into the tree canopies, providing the perfect relaxing retreat. The bedroom also benefits from a Juliette balcony. A large ensuite bathroom, opens onto a grand dressing room with bespoke cabinetry made from birds eye maple including 16 wardrobe doors and integrated chests of drawers. A roof light illuminates the bathroom suite that includes a walk in shower pedestal basin, wc and bidet. Three other large bedrooms all feature generous storage and two family bathrooms finished to a very high standard.


Second floor - Ascending a half tread timber staircase, the converted roof space has two interconnecting rooms that are currently used as an office and a dressing room (which can used as a fifth bedroom), the latter including fitted cabinetry and at the back of this room is a door that opens up onto eaves storage. The house has been renovated to an excellent design and decorative standard throughout; the heritage features and large rooms create a notable country house home, primed for future generations.

Exterior, gardens, and garage - The gated entrance drive leads to a gravelled parking court with parking space for approximately four cars and a further area of hard standing in front of the double garage for three cars. Fencing, hedges and mature trees which are sensitively lit up at night. The over sized double garage building was originally created for an indoor swimming pool so is much larger than a conventional double garage. Upstairs the roof space has been converted and lined which could be utilised as separate living accommodation, subject to change of use and planning permission. There are a number of outbuildings in the grounds, including the swimming pool plant room and a garden shed/covered areas for bins and garden furniture. The gardens make use of the level changes by the introduction of a series of garden terraces which include formal parterre gardens, a woodland garden/lawn, flagstone terraces, the swimming pool terrace, and the main lawn. The garden is beautifully planted, tended, encircled in mature and interesting tree stock, all maintained regularly by a team of experienced gardeners.
