This fine Victorian property is built in the Arts and Crafts style and was designed by Alfred Waterhouse, the acclaimed architect of the Natural History Museum in South Kensington. The house has internal accommodation set over three floors and a spacious garden studio set within the immaculate mature garden. The property benefits from countless original architectural features that have been carefully preserved, including exquisite chimneypieces, joinery, plasterwork, and fenestration. Pevsner recorded the house in his seminal record ‘The Buildings of England' as a late work by Alfred Waterhouse.

The entrance porch opens into a spacious hallway with access to all principal rooms. The living room and drawing room are both to the right, overlooking the gardens. Both rooms benefit from feature fireplaces, with the living room also having a large bay window with a door leading out to the garden. The kitchen is to the rear, with bespoke oak cabinetry, a central island unit, a Quooker tap and a black enamel Rangemaster cooker. The adjacent light-filled orangery has French doors that open to the garden terrace.

On the first floor are four double bedrooms. The principal bedroom features custom built wardrobes and a spacious en suite bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate shower. There is a further shower room on this floor, with Jack and Jill access from the hallway and one of the bedrooms.

The second floor is a remarkable versatile space, originally a Victorian artist's studio. This double-height space can act as either a dramatic bedroom, working studio space or further reception room. The room has arched beams, a fireplace and a double height North facing window. The adjacent utility room could easily be converted to a further shower room if required.

Externally, the property is approached across a driveway opening into an expansive courtyard parking area. The gardens envelop the house, with an immaculate lawn to the front and deep flower beds with established flowers and herbs. The plot is surrounded by an array of mature trees, with further apple and damson trees set at the edges of the garden. The garden has an extensive automatic irrigation system with a network of pop-up sprinklers and drip-feed irrigation covering all of the flower beds and potted plants and trees

There is a spacious and versatile red brick outbuilding near to the house, currently used as an artist's studio. There is also a newly built Victorian-style greenhouse within the gardens that acts as an additional summer room. There is also a separate garden shed housing garden equipment as well as a bike storage shed.
