Beautiful period home with stunning landscaped garden.
Forming part of the historic Claremont Estate, this superb and highly attractive period property dates back to 1896 and occupies a prominent position in this sought-after road. With accommodation over four floors and a magnificent garden, this house offers flexibility and great potential.
Entering the lobby via a beautiful Victorian doorway with a porch and stained glass window, a set of double doors bring you through to the entrance hall. Immediately on your left hand side is the grand reception room; a stunning triple aspect room with high ceilings, attractive coving, a feature fireplace and window seating in the fabulous C' shaped corner window offering superb views over the rear garden. At the back of the house are the study with stylish plantation blinds and family room with beautiful period fireplace where views of the garden can be enjoyed via a striking gothic window and Juliette balcony respectively. From here stairs to the lower ground floor bring you down to the open plan kitchen/dining room which leads through to both a large walk in pantry and utility room as well as having direct access to the garden. Double doors from the kitchen bring you through to a fabulous games room; a wonderful bright space with a bonus music room attached.
On the first floor there are two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom sits on top of the reception room with the same unique shape and window. The stylish contemporary ensuite bathroom is enclosed in glass; maximising light yet retaining privacy. The room also benefits from contemporary fitted wardrobes. Bedroom four is at the rear with views of the garden and sits adjacent to the family bathroom.
On the second floor there are two further double bedrooms, both having wonderful gothic windows, and fitted storage; one also having a sink and the other, a stunning original fireplace.
Externally the picturesque landscaped gardens are mainly laid to lawn with an abundance of mature flower beds, trees and shrubs all set around a magnificent central pond and ornamental fountain dating back to the 1920's. A terrace wraps around the rear of the property accessed from the kitchen/dining room proving ample space for al fresco dining and relaxation. An additional terraced area at the far end of the garden provides a wonderful spot to sit and relax or entertain, enabling you to profit from the sun from morning until dusk.
To the front of the property there is access to the double garage via a driveway which also provides off-street parking for two vehicles.

Esher doesn't have many period houses being mainly developed in the 30's and post war so when one does crop up its worth looking at quickly! <BR>Clare House has those amazing high ceilings and large spacious rooms combined with just the most lovely garden. Its a cracker this home.
