*** click on the video tour ***

Nestled in a conservation area on an exclusive estate on the threshold between London and Surrey, this impressive seven-bedroom, five-bathroom luxury residence is surrounded by one acre of secluded gardens and grounds.

Inside, expansive living and entertaining spaces extend over four floors, totalling 9000 square feet. Flawlessly decorated with beautiful wallpaper, Farrow & Ball paintwork, new Somerset oak floorboards, soft carpets and large floor tiles, no expense has been spared by the current owners, who have fully refurbished the property into the bespoke suburban haven it is today.

Outside, remote-controlled gates reveal a large gravel driveway and double garage to the side, while mature trees screen the lush south-facing lawn, split-level terrace, vegetable garden and orchard to the rear.

The Entertainment Level

From the driveway, enter a hallway crowned by a stunning roof lantern that brightens large floor tiles and a bespoke wood-and-glass spiral staircase that descends to the lower floor.

This 40ft socialite’s dream offers everything from a home gym to a glitzy private bar and a champagne cellar. Enjoy your drinks in the cosy snug or head through the sliding doors onto the patio. Dual toilets, a boot room, extra storage areas, and a private entrance for tradespeople provide further convenience.

Work & Play

Return to the ground floor to find a 41ft central dining kitchen. Here, ‘French Grey’ walls blend with elegant cabinetry, contrasting black worktops and high-end integrated appliances. Whip up a feast while your family and friends gather around the island and relax on the balcony deck beyond the bifold doors.

Left of the kitchen, two peaceful home offices lie beside a three-piece shower room and changing area serving a sauna and spa pool that overlooks the garden via bifold doors – a blissful way to round off your working day. You could even repurpose one of the office spaces into a chill-out, therapy, or yoga room complete with loungers or treatment beds.

Illuminated by decorative leaded glass and warmed by a wood-burning stove, the original hallway connects to a fully fitted contemporary secondary kitchen, where a lift rises to the third en suite bedroom. You’ll also find a pair of interlinked lounges featuring gas fireplaces with relined chimneys, canted bay windows, and doors onto the balcony deck.

First Floor Fabulous

Back in the hallway, a white-painted half-landing staircase invites you to the first floor. Straight ahead lies a sumptuous dual-aspect primary bedroom of royal proportions, where a high coved ceiling replete with chandelier-rose backdrops a double-ended bathtub adjoining a soft carpet and an atmospheric decorative fireplace.

After soaking your cares away, complete your ablutions in the part-tiled en suite – which features a double walk-in rainfall shower and twin basins atop a luxury bespoke vanity unit – before venturing into your fitted dressing room. Two further immaculate front and rear double bedrooms benefit from exquisite en suite shower rooms and decorative fireplaces. Bedroom three also has lift access – perfect for older relatives.

On the Second Floor

Taking the stairs to the attractive and bright upper landing, you’ll discover four more spacious and tasteful double bedrooms that share two Jack-and-Jill bathrooms.

Step Outside

Upon arrival at The Wood, you’re greeted by hedge-lined and tree-dotted gardens framing the extensive parking area. From here, a wrought-iron pedestrian gate brings you through to the charming frontage, where château-style symmetrical stone steps and walls create the romance and subtle drama of a Mediterranean retreat.

Above, iron railings surround a barbeque area that meets a decked balcony running the width of the house. This overlooks a serene and well-tended lawn with fragrant flower borders and terraced pathways leading to a pond encircled by trees, where you can rest on the bench while collecting your thoughts.

Tucked away behind a clipped box hedge, the vegetable patch contains several separate beds for growing herbs, fruits, and vegetables alongside an orchard to serve your culinary efforts in the kitchen. The peaceful secluded grounds, which also feature a range of outdoor lighting, total just over one acre.
