Description
Steeplewood is an elegant detached Edwardian residence of considerable character, standing on approximately 1.2 acres of beautifully landscaped, mature gardens. Originally constructed circa 1900 and later sympathetically extended, the property seamlessly blends period elegance with modern family living. The architectural style reflects classic Edwardian proportions, complemented internally by rich Arts and Crafts detailing, including a striking timber staircase and finely crafted fireplaces. Extending to approximately 495 sqm/5335 sqft, the accommodation is both generous and versatile, with an effortless flow between the principal reception rooms—ideal for entertaining on any scale. A charming entrance porch leads to a reception hall of warmth and character, featuring a deep bay window with window seat for enjoying the wonderful views. This opens through to an impressive drawing room, a wonderfully bright space given the large picture windows, with polished timber floors and original period fireplaces. A standout feature of the home is the recently completed kitchen/breakfast room extension, architecturally designed Andrew Lohan, with both style and functionality in mind. This superb addition creates a light-filled contemporary space that contrasts beautifully with the period core of the house. Thoughtfully designed, it incorporates bespoke Porter and Jones cabinetry, generous work surfaces and a large central island, making it ideal for both everyday family living and informal entertaining. Expansive glazing and carefully positioned rooflights flood the room with natural light while framing views of the surrounding gardens, with direct access to the patio further enhancing the indoor-outdoor connection. The bespoke kitchen, complete with classic black-and-white tiled flooring, granite worktops and an Aga, remains a charming feature and links seamlessly to the extended living space, providing excellent flexibility for modern lifestyles.
