Exceptional detached period home available for the first time in over 30 years. Built in 1928 within the Coxhill Green Estate, Greenacre sits nestled in a heavenly plot of circa 0.75 acres. Beautifully planted gardens with a log cabin lend colour throughout the seasons, while inside a prodigious layout of 4467sq ft has ample capacity to create a self-contained ground floor bedroom suite. Impeccably presented with a refined sense of style, a wealth of reception rooms open onto the terracing at every opportunity, while integral garaging and a sweeping gravel driveway supply ample off-road parking.
Instantly evoking all the elegance and charm you could hope for a period property, Greenacre sits peacefully back from the leafy foliage of Philpot Lane behind a sweeping gravel driveway framed by graceful gardens stretching out beneath the dappled shade of statuesque Scots Pine trees. Utterly enticing, the steeped roofs, red brick and bow windows of its double fronted facade conjure a picture perfect first impression while inside an exemplary two storey layout offers a quiet sense of luxury.
Built in 1928 on the Coxhill Green Estate it has been home to the same family for the past 33 years. Extended and enhanced over the years, its versatile arrangement has enabled the running of businesses from home over those years. Today Greenacre proffers an exceptional degree of flexibility to cater to your own lifestyle needs with potential options for a second entrance and self-contained accommodation.
Step in from the canopied doorway and you'll discover a central entrance hall with a turning staircase. Natural light tumbles in from classically tall windows, while the warming tones of Ted Todd wood floors and a soft heritage palette guide you through a wonderfully free flowing layout. French doors in each and every one of the rooms to the rear of the house open out onto a tremendous York stone terrace allowing daily life to feel connected with the gardens at every opportunity.
Two refined reception rooms each have focal point fireplaces and while one is a notable family room, the other reaches out over double aspect dimensions opening into a large luxury wetroom to give you the option of having a ground floor bedroom suite for adapted living. Equally impressive, a generously sized contemporary office/dining room is fitted with Vitsoe units.
Supremely well appointed, the kitchen/breakfast room continues the elegantly understated aesthetics proffering plentiful space for everyone to spend time together while you cook and catch up on the day's events. Designed by the renowned Orchard Kitchens in Egham, its painted Shaker cabinetry and sleek countertops house an array of integrated Neff appliances. A matching central island delineates the space and while further French doors make al fresco dining easy, the impeccable adjoining conservatory leads the way to a stunning triple aspect drawing/garden room with a magnificent vaulted timber ceiling. This is a versatile space and could also be used as an office or consulting room, since there is access via the conservatory to a pathway leading to the front of the house. A utility room and two cloakrooms complete the ground floor.
Upstairs the tastefully chosen heritage hues are echoed in each of the six double bedrooms. Looking out over the rear garden a superb principal bedroom has a fitted David James dressing room and a simply enviable luxury en suite bathroom with an inset double ended bathtub and wetroom shower. Two further bedrooms have deluxe en suite shower rooms, whilst the sixth is a study/bedroom with Vitsoe fittings and Ted Todd wood floor to match the office below. Sympathetically styled to reflect the history of the house, the traditional suite of the spacious family bathroom is arranged in a rich navy blue wood panelled setting that adds a charming finishing touch.
Generating a breathtaking backdrop to the house, the westerly-facing rear gardens of Greenacre wrap-around to produce an incredibly special place to escape from the world outside. A reclaimed York stone terrace is a discerning destination for al fresco entertaining and equally ideal to just simply sit back and admire your surroundings. Beautifully planted, a considered collection of daffodils, camellia, azaleas and cherry blossom combine with cottage garden flowers such as peonies and crocosmia and evergreen trees to add colour and greenery throughout each and every season. This quintessential English country garden is a joy to experience. Encompassed by high hedging giving a cherished level of privacy, a considerable lawn gives you every excuse to take a stroll to the 'Norfolk' log cabin by Creative Living and sit with a glass of wine on its patio.
To the front of this Chobham home you'll notice that the drive is lined by cobbles reclaimed from the former Harrods depository in Barnes. The integral garaging has a lift that makes life easy for everyone but could be replaced by stairs if needed, and together with the driveway supplies off-road parking for numerous vehicles.
