A stunning four-bedroom home, lavishly renovated and presented to an exceptional standard, set within the exclusive Grade II listed Royal Connaught Park development in Bushey.
Kent House is an attractive red-brick Gothic-style property, originally serving as the utilities building for the former Victorian school. The property was comprehensively remodelled in 2016 and completed without compromise to an impeccable international standard. The result is an exquisite and sophisticated conversion with sleek contemporary interiors incorporating a range of premium features, including air conditioning, underfloor heating, and a reverse osmosis water purification system. Extending to almost 4,500 sq ft, the well-proportioned accommodation is flooded with natural light and enhanced by impressive ceiling heights, creating the bright and airy feel expected of a home of this period.
A solid walnut panelled central hallway provides elegant storage and leads through to the kitchen. Fitted with contemporary cabinetry by Robert Timmons Kitchens, the space is arranged around a central island with a bespoke Milan-made screen separating the dining area, to create a wonderful hub for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features sleek solid walnut cabinetry, Dekton worktops and an exceptional range of integrated Gaggenau appliances. Ideal for the budding Cordon Bleu chef, it includes both conventional and combi-steam ovens, a vacuum drawer for sous-vide cooking, a teppanyaki plate, induction and gas hobs and an electric grill. Additional features include InSinkErator waste disposal units and a Quooker instant hot water tap.
French doors lead via a practical utility room with laundry appliances and a cloakroom into a spectacular sitting room. Filled with natural light through extensive glazing, the room opens directly onto the private and secluded terrace, creating a seamless connection with the outside space. To one side, stairs rise to a mezzanine library and an impressive cinema room. The ground floor also offers two generous double bedrooms with built-in storage, both benefitting from contemporary en suite facilities, one with a bathroom and the other with a shower room.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is particularly well proportioned, with Velux windows flooding the room with natural light and extensive built-in storage. A fully fitted dressing room leads to a stylish en suite with twin basins, a bath and a walk-in shower. A further double bedroom with a built-in wardrobe and an en suite shower room completes the first-floor accommodation.
