Winster House is a striking, fully renovated Victorian villa on approximately an acre of private, landscaped grounds. The house delivers substantial family living and formal entertaining across c.8,344 sqft: seven principal bedrooms (many with dressing rooms), generous reception rooms, an orangery and a bespoke kitchen fitted with high-end Miele, Gaggenau and Sub-Zero appliances. The property includes a detached studio/home office, triple garage, long private driveway and plentiful parking.
A significant leisure complex and basement provide strong lifestyle appeal: a swimming pool with steam room, gym, cinema/media room, original wine cellar and separate ancillary accommodation/annexe. The house benefits from modern infrastructure throughout — new electrical installation, CAT6 cabling, intelligent wiring, upgraded heating (underfloor and radiators) and integrated security, audio and media systems.
Buyers should note practical running considerations: the EPC is rated E and the original solid-brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so energy performance and heating costs may be higher than newer homes. Council tax is very expensive. There are also elements that could be altered or extended further, but any additional development would be subject to planning consent.
This property will suit an established family or buyer seeking an impressive, private home with extensive amenities and scope for personalisation. It combines historic character with contemporary systems and sizeable outdoor space for entertaining and leisure.
