The entrance hall sets the scene with black and white chessboard marble tiled flooring by renowned specialists Paris Ceramics and an elegant staircase rising to the upper floors, lit by a period roof lantern. The marble flooring continues into the formal dining room at the front of the house which is complemented by beautiful ceiling mouldings and the very elegant cast-iron fireplace with its eye catching Carrera marble surround and mantel. A generous study is located on the opposite side at the front with the same black and white marble flooring. Double doors lead from the hallway to the drawing room with its elegant marble fireplace and French doors which lead out to the terrace and garden. Much thought has been put into the kitchen, which was planned over two years by the owners and renowned furniture designer Mark Wilkinson. Two main island hubs have Calacatta Oro polished marble surfaces, with one featuring Gaggenau wine fridges and the other an oak breakfast bar. A particularly neat touch is the bespoke coffee-station with integral Miele espresso maker and special Tea, Coffee and Sugar drawers and Bianco Eclipsia granite worktops. State of the art appliances include two Sub Zero fridges flanking the larder, a Wolfe dual range oven and six burner gas hob, backed up by a further Miele steam oven and Miele combination oven and microwave. Limestone flooring with under-floor heating extends throughout and into the conservatory which provides a wonderful light and bright family room where French doors open to the garden. Air conditioning is in place for warmer weather. The kitchen also features an original fireplace which incorporates a working gas fire. Through the boot room a back staircase leads to a selfcontained one bedroom annexe which benefits from a separate entrance, providing ideal staff accommodation. Another staircase leads down to the lower ground floor, housing the plant room, laundry, larder and a media room den which would make an ideal bar or cigar room with its glass-fronted wine cellar built into the property s original coal hole. There is also an air-conditioned gym with double doors. The first floor largely houses the magnificent master suite, comprising master bedroom with marble fireplace, a window seat overlooking the rear garden and air-conditioning. The bedroom leads through to the elegant bespoke dressing room, with extensive custom-made hardwood wardrobes and shelves. Off the dressing room the en-suite bathroom features under-floor heating and limestone flooring. There is a separate gentleman s dressing room finished in walnut and featuring a dedicated watch case and a further en-suite bathroom. There is also a guest suite on this floor, with window seat, marble fireplace, an en-suite bathroom with underfloor heating and small dressing room. The staircase continues up to the second floor, where there are four generous double bedrooms, all benefitting from fitted wardrobes and en-suite bathrooms. A further staircase leads up to an attic room providing a perfect playroom as well as eaves storage. The property s period features are complemented by the latest technology including a Sonos sound system, Lutron lighting and a Firecell smoke detector system throughout. Lighting, sound, TV s and CCTV cameras are all controlled by control 4 accessed via smartphone technology. The restoration extends to the South facing rear garden, largely laid to lawn, which features an attractive York stone terrace and a separate barbecue station with an in-built pizza oven, Echelon Fire Magic grill and granite worktops. There is also a delightful Wisteria walk pergola, leading to a rear lawn providing an ideal children s play area with a pretty Willow tree. To the front of the property is a gated York stone driveway with extensive parking, plus two garages. The house is screened from Copse Hill by a hedge-lined boundary wall and railings.
