A truly magnificent home of ambassadorial proportions set in secluded grounds of about 1.5 acres on St George's Hill.
Located in the exclusive St George's Hill Estate, Knockdara offers a blend of comfort and luxury on a private 1.5 acre plot with remarkable golf course views. This substantial home is designed for modern living with spacious interiors and a superb leisure complex.
Knockdara features state of the art amenities such as comfort cooling, a high grade CCTV and alarm system and AMX technology throughout. There are simply stunning interiors with beautiful coiffured ceilings, marble features and a fully upgraded VoIP system and single use fibre with secondary back-up.
Entering through the grand entrance hall, you are immediately struck by the elegance of this home. The beautiful atrium with a bespoke chandelier provides the focal point. Symmetrical staircases add a touch of classic style to the home's design.
The ground floor exudes opulence with its grand entrance hall, setting the tone for the rest of the home. This central space seamlessly connects to several living spaces, each designed for both comfort and sophistication. These include a formal dining room, a comfortable family room, a formal drawing room and a walnut panelled study.
The well-equipped bespoke walnut kitchen features a range of integrated appliances including a Range cooker, teppanyaki hot-plate, Sub-Zero and Wolf fridges. The central island is a superb spot for informal entertaining. The kitchen is complemented by a comfortable breakfast room and a fully functioning prep kitchen and laundry room for added convenience. A staff lift leads to the lower ground floor which provides access to the entertainment suite.
One of the key highlights of this home is the entertainment space and impressive leisure complex, on the lower ground floor. The indoor swimming pool, complete with changing rooms, a treatment room and a sauna are the perfect area to relax and unwind. A gym is set to one side of the pool access through a glass door.
The entertainment lobby provides a superb space for hosting parties including a beautiful mirrored central bar and both a red wine room, and a white wine room. This area enjoys views over the indoor pool and terrace beyond through a floor to ceiling glass window.
Additionally on the lower ground floor is a further prep kitchen, cinema room with sensor seats and various plant rooms which keep the workings of the home away from the main accommodation.
On the first floor and approached from the impressive galleried landing which showcases the bespoke chandelier, the first floor hosts six individually designed bedroom suites all with private balconies, generous dressing areas and spacious en suites.
The principal bedroom suite is exceptionally spacious and has two sets of French doors leading out to a private balcony which enjoys unrivalled golf course views. There are spacious dual en suite bathrooms and dressing rooms.
The lower ground floor features a generous parking area which can accommodate multiple cars and features electric charging points, a heated pollution monitor and a car wash area.
The property is surrounded by well-maintained grounds with a full irrigation system, providing a peaceful and private environment. Large windows throughout the house allow natural light to fill the rooms, enhancing the living spaces.
Set on an elevated yet level plot, a sunken terrace extends along the rear of the property which leads from the leisure complex. Two sets of steps lead past the beautiful 'living walls' leading out to the rolling lawn which is bordered by mature shrubs and colourful plants.
There is a separate with covered bar area with seating, a barbeque area and a pizza oven.
Accessed via private entrances are two one bedroom staff apartments, both complete with all the necessary facilities to ensure comfort and independence for live-in help.

This is undoubtedly one of the best homes within the St George's Hill Estate. I love the central location and the unrivalled views over the golf course.
