Architecture With Soul - A Rare Opportunity.

There are houses... And then there are homes. Places where craftsmanship was not simply specified - it was expected. Where proportion, detail and permanence mattered.

Set within one of the area's most prestigious addresses, this remarkable turn-of-the-century residence rests upon an extraordinary 1,669m² of established and exceptionally private gardens.

From the moment you arrive, there is an unmistakable sense that this is something truly rare - a home with presence, a home with provenance, a home whose original character has been cherished, protected and thoughtfully curated over generations.

Behind its distinguished façade, the story continues, and beautiful period features reveal themselves throughout - details conceived by craftsmen of another era, preserved alongside carefully selected additions that honour the home's heritage rather than compete with it, for 40 years, one family has been its custodian.

- Four decades of birthdays and Christmas's
- Of children growing up.
- Of friends gathered around the table.
- Of summers spent in the garden.

The house has not merely been occupied - It has been loved.

Today, its generous accommodation reflects the way families live now, with five bedrooms, three bathrooms and three toilets, while the home's enduring period character remains beautifully at its heart. And beyond the walls, the experience becomes even more compelling.

Step into the gardens and discover a private world of mature planting, established greenery and secluded outdoor spaces. A swimming pool creates the centerpiece for summer, whilst multiple outdoor living areas invite you to choose your setting - perhaps lunch beneath the trees, cocktails as the afternoon fades, or dinner beneath the stars.

And with triple-car garaging, the practicalities of contemporary life are comfortably accommodated within this extraordinary estate-like setting.

Rarely does a home of this provenance, on a site of this scale and privacy, become available.
This is more than a residence - It is a sanctuary, a piece of living history and now, it is ready for its next custodian.

If you've been waiting for a home with soul, history, and genuine character, this is your moment - your chapter begins here!
